Another birthday. Another tea party adventure.
Last year for Shelby’s birthday, we went for tea at Madeline Garden Bistro and Venue in Pasadena. We had such a fun time (seriously, who wouldn’t want to dress up cute and have a tea party??) that we decided to do it again this year.
This time, our destination was the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa in Riverside.
For my friend Shelby’s 25th birthday, we wanted to something fun, special and totally new.
Jen, who dined with me at Napa Rose, came up with the idea to go to tea at a place called Two a Tea she had heard about in Glendora. Unfortunately, when she called, they were all booked for the Saturday afternoon that we had wanted to go. She found another place in Pasadena called Madeline Garden Bistro and Venue and we were able to get a lunch reservation there.
Excited for our first Adult Tea Party, we all bought new cute spring dresses and made outlandish speculations about how we were going to have the perfect afternoon birthday celebration.
Dinner is where the magic happens in the kitchen.
I am a self-proclaimed “foodie”.
If you follow me on Instagram, I’m one of those people who posts pictures of the food that she’s eating. Not all the time, but frequently.
If you know me personally, you know that I love to eat. I love to try new foods and I get super excited when my mom or my Teah-Teah make their signature dishes. (By the way, Teah-Teah means ‘grandma’ in Syrian; congratulations you learned something new today!)
When the mood strikes, I treat myself to really good food.
One such mood spurred me to treat myself and my friend, Jen, to dinner at the Napa Rose.
