Yummy! Here's a tip--cut off the crusts before you build the sandwiches, cube the crusts and toss them in olive oil and bake them for easy, delicious croutons. Or, save the cut-off crusts in a freezer bag and when you have enough, use them for strata or bread pudding, a staple in our house when the kids were little! ;-) Thanks for the culinary and picnic inspiration! Perfect for this time of year!
@@bettyzak2588 It is to make the sandwich more elegant. Where I come from the bread is rolled out, and cut into different shapes depending what is in them, they are about half the size on the ones displayed here, and crust cut before making sandwich.
Jennifer I love picnics and tea parties. This was a beautiful combination of both. My has your girls grown up to be lovely young ladies. Enjoy every moment with your family. Time goes by quickly. I’m 78 tomorrow. I enjoy tea parties with my daughters and granddaughters now ❤️
I hope you enjoyed this very special video! Here is Portmeirion's Botanic Garden 50th Anniversary 18-piece dinnerware set and willow hamper www.portmeirion.com/779631.html?src=BG50_TDC?src=BG50_TDC We had so much fun making this video and it is a dream to work with one of my favorite dinnerware brands, Portmeirion Group! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone. Love, Jennifer
I absolutely love seeing your videos, tea times, etc with these dishes. I have collected them over the years as well. I'm so excited! I just got the 50th anniversary picnic basket dish set. I can't wait for it to come so I can have a picnic. I was so happy to see this post picnic tea party #heaven #teatime
I have had this pattern for 30 years & adore it. People are always complimenting me on the different pieces. I love how they look but that is only one reason I love them. Their versatility is unsurpassed! Freezer to frig to oven to table! Cherry pies... yum! Everything looks lovely!
For tea parties, my specialty, I order bread from a bakery and have them slice the loaves into slabs for me. It really simplifies making tea sandwiches in quantity, and I get some great specialty breads this way, too. I like to pick the loaves up the day before, while I’m making the fillings, sealed in plastic bags. Then, they are perfect for sandwiches the next day, not too soft to handle, but still moist and fresh. After assembly and cutting, I cover them with damp, bleached cotton towels and plastic wrap until serving.
When I got married at 20 years old someone gifted me a portmeirion botanic garden oval serving dish. My 20 year old self had no appreciation for it but kept it in case I had to bring food to parties. Now that I know more about dinnerware brands I appreciate it so much more and actually get excited to use it 😁
Jennifer, this was such a delightful picnic with your daughters! How wonderful to experience these simple joys! And, making memories to last a lifetime! Great choice of music, too!
I just watched this with my three little girls (7, 4 and 3). They are avid students of Connoisseur Kids and have great intentions to put all of it into practice 🥰 they just told my husband everything about what “Jennifer L.Scott” did with her kids and were wondering if you would do a children’s video! My eldest is determined to know where you live (we are in Southern California!) so they can have a play date 😉 and they want to show you their new haircuts which they think are very chic! As you can see - you are a firm favourite and model in our home 🏡!
It's like the Lord is winking at me. My son randomly asked me to make cherry pie an hour ago-something I've never made. Instead I made my go-to quick little tea appropriate thumbprint cookies. As they're baking I saw your video pop up! I live for your tea videos. Im hoping my daughter--and son- will have tea parties with me as they grow up. And with the third on the way, we shall have ourselves quite the party.
I love picnics this is a lost pastime I remember as a child having picnics with friends fancy and simple ones in the backyard at the park at the forest preserve I remember as an adult I was teaching etiquette classes and one actually two of the other women that taught classes with me you're always talking about taking their kids on picnics like over the weekend and Sunday after church and going to the woods and foraging for berries and things to go with whatever they're prepared and taking home shrubbery to create centerpieces once they were home from from their little excursion think we need to unplug enough to just enjoy this thank you for bringing this back to our attention.
Oh my gosh, Jennifer!! I can't wait!! :) I just got the same feeling I do when my new Victoria is in the mailbox, haha!! See you later today!! Love, Kellie
Love! I bought my first Portmeirion Botanic Garden pieces 24 years ago when living in the UK. I've added several pieces over the years and I never tire of it! Love the recipes also!
My kids, my sister, and my nephew love to get together for tea parties! Even my son loves the cucumber tea sandwiches and tea, along with scones and cookies of course!
I loved Portmeirion Botanic Garden the first time I saw it, more than 30 years ago. It’s now my everyday and special-occasion china and I have a full 12 place settings and many great serving pieces. I’m always looking for fun new pieces.
Your girls are growing up ! Your blonde-haired babe is no more. I love the glasses the most although all is beautiful. Sunflowers are exquisite ! Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 xx
This is the epitome of delight: a tea amongst the herbs and flowers, quality mama-daughter time, lovely dishes and glasses, and plenty of tasty morsels to savor. Each step was a joy to watch, even the "word from the sponsor"! I noticed your drinking glasses in a prior video and looked them up, but I only found the shorter style glasses. I hope they stock more of the taller glasses. The snowdrop crocus is my favorite design. It is aptly named "Snowdrop Crocus.." Crocuses always amaze me the way they bravely pop up amongst the snow, adding a splash of color each winter. Thank you for this video, Jennifer.
Jennifer, your videos are a gentle, calming treat for my nervous system, which has been activated a bit much lately. 🧡 I can scarcely believe how much your girls have grown-- such lovely young ladies! 🤗 This video has inspired me to pull out my tea set from England and drink a cuppa to Her Majesty's health today!
What a beautiful botanical dinnerware set, my God! I love picnics and afternoon tea parties, there is something magical about them. Love your white dress, Jen!
Having such beautiful plates is a dream. I love Portmeiron and the botanical designs are just wonderful! What a wonderful picnic you had with your girls. They are so big now!
Lovely recipes and picnic. My husband and I recently took our daughter to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which is only a few minutes from our house, and showed her the exact spot where we got married! She loved it, and we all enjoyed a beautiful afternoon
Thank you for this lovely video! What gorgeous dinnerware! Looks like a perfect day for a picnic complete with Portmeirion and yummy tea treats (and your adorable girls/mini connoisseurs)! See you at the Zoom meeting! 🥪🍰🫖🍽🌻🌺💕
What a special treat for your lovely daughters and the Portmeirion dinnerware and hamper are beautiful. Your picnic menu is perfect and I want to try both the sweet (love cherries) and savory versions of your turnovers. The Portmeirion measuring cups are so cute. In fact, your outdoor setting, with the sunflowers as centerpiece and the placemats, made everything so inviting. I'm off to investigate the Portuguese custard tarts as I've not heard of these. Enjoy your summer!
What a lovely video! The china set featured has such lovely designs and worked wonderfully with your outdoor picnic! What a lovely memory for you and your daughters!
Loved your podcast. I’m pestering my husband for this new set - in my dreams. 😊 Have collected the Botanic Garden design for about 45 years - but I spotted some designs that I don’t have. Oh dear! 😊
Oh Jennier, this is absolutely lovely!! What a delightful treat to see your beautiful girls enjoying such a darling picnic with you!! Have the best weekend!! Love, Kellie
Loved this video with your beautiful daughters! I want to do this with my daughter and my two granddaughters! Your food looked so scrumptious on your gorgeous dishes!
Such a lovely video. I've had Portmeirion's Pomona since the early 1990s. They are quality dishes. Oh, my - your daughters are growing up!! Beautiful girls. (donna here - using husband's computer)
So special! Your daughters are adorable ~ enjoy every minute because they really do grow up in a flash, and you are giving them such sweet memories they will never forget. xo
What a beautiful video! I love everything about this! The dishes..the picnic.. the delicious foods.. and your sweet family❤️ Thank you for sharing🌸 nancy
Such a sweet picnic and video including your lovely daughters. I enjoy asparagus any time of day and this recipe you shared with asparagus would be great at breakfast! Beautiful inspiration! All the best ladies, Julie 🌷
Loved this video and seeing your daughters!! What a special treat with mom! I’m sure the boys wanted to eat those sandwiches lol! I could go for a plate right now!
Thanks for bringing beauty into our lives and just have to say your daughters are growing up to be such beautiful young ladies They were babies when I first started following you :)
I have to tell you, I had a dream a few nights ago, that got to meet you and have a visit. I asked how do you keep thing looking so perfect all the time with 4 children? And you answered that things really aren't perfect all the time! 😉
@@teakhouse2 if you have a picnic in your yard then you can easily use real china. It is an advert but not just advertising. I eat outside all summer and always use real plates and crockery.

My honest question: why even cut off the crusts, it is so deliciuous!
@@bettyzak2588 I think she means if your kids are picky and they end up getting thrown out anyway.

A beautiful picnic with three lovely girls! I may have to get some Portmeirion glassware! 🌻❤️
I live near the village of Portmeirion. I used to buy a lot of that pattern for family members for Christmas.
Oh Jennier, this is absolutely lovely!! What a delightful treat to see your beautiful girls enjoying such a darling picnic with you!! Have the best weekend!! Love, Kellie
That’s beautiful. I have a few Portmeirion plates, it is such a treat to use them ☺️

That's what I would say in real life too! 😂
I met the wife of the Portmeirion manager when he came out here to Sausalito, California, to run the Heath Ceramics pottery.
Very beautiful video 😍😍
I would have loved this as a wedding gift!
I love that Penelope dress on you!
So elegant and lovely. You are doing God's work.
Super adorable!
