Public opinion is always quick to portray the great state of California as being in the worst of economic hardships. I can fairly attest that public opinion in this instance is indeed cierto and we all may run amok to less desirable climes in the very near future. Today, however, three broke-ass Californians boldly threw frugality and caution to the Santa Ana winds and opted for high tea at The Huntington Library. The buffet spread at the The Rose Tea Room is picturesque, scrumptious, and worthy of the 4th Earl of Sandwich (albeit a finger version) himself. They started us out with a choice of teas (English Breakfast or Orange Pekoe flavored with Raspberry) and fresh scones (blueberry and cranberry) with butter and cream. Then, upon our charming servers' gracious request, K, B and I took to our morning potlatch: quesos, salads, tarts, caviar, frutas, sandwiches, noodles, salmon, and more scones (which really are a highlight). Don't worry about having to keister a few a these little wonders for later; just ask for another round and you even get handed a bag with gilded edges to take them home in---muchas florituras. Afterwards, while having a stroll in the vast gardens, I pondered the future of California and realized that while the state may be crumbling I still most certainly need to check out the Cambodian fare in Long Beach: Eureka!
