Welcome to the Mad IFers Tea Party! A place to numb the baby blues with every sip and forget the impending arrival of AF with each bite. So if you have ever felt like you are disappearing down the TTC rabbit hole, come and join the Mad IFers tea party. What can I serve you?
Verbena leaf tea perhaps? Perfect for lifting the spirits when the endless TTC wait gets you down.
Or maybe a sweet mint & licorice herbal tea? Good for soothing a broken heart and a troubled mind. Or would you prefer a cup of Indian Spice tea to put that zing back in your TTCing?
Or what about a warm cup of love? A blend of rose, chamomile and lavender perfect for taking away the baby blues and making you feel warm and calm inside.
But since we're in Morocco, no tea party would be complete without sweet delicious Moroccan mint tea. Shall I pour you a glass?
And of course no tea party should just be about tea. Chocolate, cakes and pastries play an important part. And coincidentally they also play an important part in getting through the TTC blues, don't you find?
And these are particularly good at getting me through the dark times. Check out these delicious handmade chocolates, which came all the way from Provence. They are completely dairy-free, have a hint of hazelnut and are dipped in a delicious creamy meringue. Mmmm... TTC what now?
They go perfectly with a cup of herbal tea. Pure indulgence.
But perhaps you would prefer a Moroccan pastry instead?
Now let me pour you a cup of your chosen tea. And hand you a plate of tasty treats. And introduce you to the other mad IFers at the tea party....
Wiseguy is sipping on a lemon burst tea, but what will she have to nibble on I wonder? MelissaP05 likes her English breakfast tea sweet, just like her. Oh, and so does Jendeis! She brought cookies to the party and has posted the recipe on her blog too! Melissa G wants a soothing chamomile to take away the TTC frustration. And Wishing 4 One is enjoying a peach-passion black tea in a very dainty bone-china cup. Triumph is feeling a little anxious and is sure a cup of chamomile will do the trick. And maybe even a tasty treat or two? Yes, indeedy. And picking up a sweet marzipan treat over there is FET Accompli, let me pour you a glass of Moroccan mint tea to go with that. And here's one for you too, IF Optimist oh and a sweet sesame snack. IF Optimist is very happy to be here drinking tea with us all. Did you know she and her husband just celebrated their 2 year wedding anniversary? Congratulations! Wiseguy has just picked up a Moroccan pastry, she couldn't resist it! Eileen needs a big cup of mint and licorice to soothe her broken heart after her recent loss - she even brought her own special mug to have it in! Kait has just dropped by for a glass of mint tea and some of the delicious hazelnut chocolates from Provence. And she is already eyeing up a cup of hot love..... well who wouldn't? And MelissaP05 wants something of the medicinal variety to give her tea a little kick - it's been one of those days. Run over to MelissaP05 and give her a hug..... Adding to the pack fancies something a little stronger too, and since it's a tea party, why not a long island ice tea? Tiregal68 can't wait to join us all for a chat so let me get her a soothing cup of rooibos and rich tea biscuit, while she gets comfortable. Pie needs a cup of mint tea and a few Moroccan pastries as she prepares for ET. And Hope Springs is going the traditional English route with some Earl Grey Tea, a scone, jam and some clotted cream... hmm, I might even join her! Irrational Exuberance (don't you just love her name?) also wants some English tea with a spot of honey and a Moroccan pastry or two... go ahead, please help yourself. And when you're done please pass the plate to iamstacey, who would also like a cup of hot cinnamon tea to while away her TTC woes. Gracie in Brooklyn wants to practice her Arabic and ask for 'wahad atay nana' (mint tea) and is also eyeing up those tasty Moroccan pastries. And lastly Mad Hatter has arrived! She is late, very late, but better late than never! And she has told me, in all her haste, that she needs a hot cup of hot love with four lumps of estrogen - hoping that the blood test goes well tomorrow!
Thank you for coming to the tea party! Let's do it again soon!
