CUCUMBER SANDWICHES: A basic recipe for the cucumber sandwiches sometimes featured on my live stream is: Slice planks out of half a cucumber, there should be at least 5 planks. Chop up fresh dill, dried dill doesn't taste good in this sandwich. Place chopped dill in a small mixing bowl, add 2 Tbsps of cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and 1/8th teaspoon of granulated garlic or garlic powder. Mix the spread until all ingredients are combined. Apply the spread to soft sandwich bread of your choice, then lay the cucumber planks down on one of the slices of bread, making sure to overlap the cucumber. Place the other bread slice on top, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours. 15 minutes prior to serving, remove the sandwich, cut off the crusts, cut the sandwich into thirds (finger sandwiches), and arrange it on a plate. Serve and enjoy with tea! ABOUT MY TEA SET: The entire set of china I use every live stream, aside from the silverware and tea infusers -are vintage items that were actually used aboard old Cunard ships. Most of my collection is from the RMS Queen Mary (1934) and RMS Queen Elizabeth (1938). But it's possible some other items may be from other Cunard ships of the mid-century such as RMS Mauretania (1938), RMS Sylvania (1957), and RMS Caronia (1947). The oldest piece of the collection dates back to 1952, and the newest piece is from 1967...however, the entire set is all the same Art Deco design introduced aboard the RMS Queen Mary in 1936 when it had its maiden voyage. The only thing that has changed between the pieces from the 30's and the 60's was the color changeover from ivory white, to eggshell white. HOW TO CARE FOR VINTAGE CHINA: always hand-wash in warm water with dish soap using the soft part of the sponge, never scrub with any abrasive, no matter how soft the abrasive is. Store china in a protected place away from direct sunlight, and away from spaces where they can be damaged. Always pre-warm china incrementally before adding boiling water or the thermal shock WILL crack them! Helpful tip: if your china was made before the year 1975, it may have been made with lead, using china only on occasion, poses minimal risk of lead poisoning. But NEVER drink from cracked china that was produced before 1975 because the health risk increases. PREWARM STEP 1: Run the hot liquid vessels under the hottest tap water you have and fill the teapot, teacup, and other hot liquid vessels with hot tap water until your boiling water is ready. PREWARM STEP 2: When your boiling water is ready, pour out ONLY HALF of the hot tap water from the vessels, then top the rest off with the boiling water. Allow the china to sit for a minute to equalize in heat (the china may be too hot to touch at this point). STEP 3, THE TEA: Pour out all the pre-warming water from the teapot and fill it with boiling water and place your tea in for the designated amount of time. You may want to allow the boiling water to cool down to a particular temperature for certain teas. The teacup must keep its pre-warming water until the tea is finished brewing, then you can dump out the water, and pour in the tea!
