! Forest of Tranquility Australian Rainforest Sanctuary HIGH TEA @ THE FOREST OF TRANQUILITY ! Deﬁnition of Afternoon Tea A Brief History of Afternoon Tea Legend has it that afternoon tea was started in the mid-1800s by the Duchess of Bedford. Around this time, kerosene lamps were introduced in wealthier homes, and eating a late dinner (around eight or nine PM) became fashionable. At the time, there were only two meals each day -- a mid- morning, breakfast-like meal and the other was an increasingly late dinner-like meal. The story goes that the Duchess found herself with a "sinking feeling" (likely fatigue from hunger during the long wait between meals) and decided to have some friends over for assorted snacks and tea (a very fashionable drink at the time). The idea of an afternoon tea gathering spread across high society and became a favourite pastime of ladies of leisure. Later, it spread beyond the highest echelons of society and became more accessible for some other socioeconomic groups. Today, tea is a major component of many British meals, including breakfast, 'elevenses,' afternoon tea and 'tea' (which is more like !traditional high tea than afternoon tea). ! ! ! 390 Ourimbah Creek Rd, (02) 4362 1855 or 0407 013 241 Ourimbah NSW 2258 [email protected] !1 ! Forest of Tranquility Australian Rainforest Sanctuary Types of Afternoon Tea Although many Americans think of afternoon tea as having a set menu, there are many variations on this tea-centric meal. The simplest form of afternoon tea is cream tea -- a meal of tea, scones and cream. Add fresh strawberries to cream tea and you have strawberry tea. Alternately, if you add more sweet treats to cream tea, you get light tea. Add savoury foods, like finger sandwiches to light tea and you get full tea, which is the elaborate meal most people think of when they hear the phrase 'afternoon tea.' 390 Ourimbah Creek Rd, (02) 4362 1855 or 0407 013 241 Ourimbah NSW 2258 [email protected] !2.

Open Gold Duke of Edinburgh Expeditions 2021
OPEN GOLD DUKE OF EDINBURGH EXPEDITIONS 2021 Guidance for a successful expedition Planning your meals for the expedition is key. Food is so important in keeping our bodies fueled to complete the activity, but also in lifting our spirits! Getting the right food will help you enjoy the expedition and set you up to succeed. Here our some of our hints and tips to help you. FOOD AND NUTRITION One very important consideration when sourcing food for an expedition is weight: the more miles you've carried something too heavy, the more you will wish you'd looked for a lightweight version! Dried food weighs much less, because you are not carrying the water, and is generally the best choice for hot meals. Here are our suggestions of good and bad things to bring. Breakfast How you start the day is crucial. It may be tempting to not bother with breakfast, but you will regret it after an hour or two! Taking the time to have breakfast will boost your energy stores. • Instant Porridge - Mix oats, powdered milk and sugar in a freezer bag. Add water and cook whilst stirring until everything goes thick. You could also use a pre-prepared sachet of instant oats but these do not contain powdered milk. • Cereal - Choose the highest calorie per 100g cereal you can find. Mix 50g cereal and 50g powdered milk in a sealable bag. To eat, pour cold water over and stir. • Cereal bars - Not terribly satisfying but some people like to get away early in the morning without cooking/washing up so cereal bars might just about suffice.

English Conversation.Pub
English Conversation with Helen Goddard Mondays beginning January 7, ending in May 10 a.m. to noon 43 Maxwell Lane (a short walk from Fuld Hall off of Einstein Drive) All are welcome, from beginners in English to native speakers. Its purpose is to introduce everyone to the Institute, the Princeton area, and to each other. Attendance varies but is typically around ten. There is no need to come every time, drop in and out as you wish—and men are welcome too! What do we do? It really depends on the interests of the group but I always have activities ready. We read poetry or from a chapter in a book; we discuss words or look at an item from the news. And we certainly talk about things to do and places to visit. We enjoy learning about other countries and customs, and sometimes our elevenses will turn into a cooking session. We may visit local places of interest as a group. Elevenses is a popular English tradition and refers to a break for tea or coffee in the middle of the morning, very often with something to nibble too.. We take this break halfway through our two-hour session, and I try to make something that is appropriate to our topic of conversation. Sometimes people will bring a traditional snack from their home country to share. As I am from England, living in the U.S., we often find ourselves discussing English versus American customs and language, so American English speakers are particularly welcome. Reservations are not necessary but appreciated.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Lady Nugent’s second breakfast Abstract Of the few personal journals that record details of West Indian everyday life during the period of slavery one of the best known is Lady Nugent’s Journal of Her Residence in Jamaica from 1801 to 1805.1 The journal’s author, Maria Nugent (1770–1834), journeyed to the island with her husband George, on his way to take up appointment as Governor of Jamaica, then one of the most important colonies of the British Empire and at the peak of its powers as a sugar producer. When the Nugents reached Jamaica in July 1801, Maria was just 30 years old and George, who had served in the British army’s colonial wars, was aged 44. They were unusual as a couple; few of the earlier governors of Jamaica arrived with wives, and while in the island Maria gave birth to two children, one in October 1802 and the other in September 1803. Although Maria became a ‘Lady’ only in 1811, six years after she left Jamaica, she has regularly been given the title for her time in the island.
