MISS AIMEE B'S - NOVEMBER 26, 2008
Buon giorno and Good Day!
One of the favorite benefits from writing my cookbook *Rosalie Serving Italian, * are the Book Signings. I can honestly say that no two of them have been the same. Filled with new places to explore and the fun of meeting new people have given me so many great memories. One of which was just this last weekend at the famous Miss Aimee B's tea house located in St. Charles, Missouri.
This quaint and lovely Historic Home was built in 1865 by Francis Marten. On the National Register of Historic Places, the Marten/Becker House remained in the family until 1982 when Miss Aimee Marie Louise Becker bequeathed it to the St. Charles County Historical Society. In 1991 it was purchased by Judy Howell and Sherry Pfaender who are now the present owners.
The house reflects an era when beauty and charm prevailed with 12-foot ceilings decorated with crown moldings, large beautifully draped windows and where lovely portraits don the wallpapered walls. Situated in Historical St. Charles on 837 First Capitol Drive, the Tea House is filled with excitement from 9-am to 4-pm daily. Dinning in one of the 3 large downstairs rooms offers everyone a feeling of traveling back in time marked by the white clothed tables decorated with flower bouquets. The menu features Breakfast Delights, including Puffy Omelettes, Baked Pancakes with Fruit Toppings and Cinnamon Bread Pudding along with everyday specials. Lunch is always a treat with an array of specialty Soups, Salads, Quiches, superb desserts, and their signature beverage; Miss Aimee's Old Fashioned Lemonade made with milk.
When dining is over, the shopping begins. The entire upstairs rooms are filled with unique treasures and gift items all provided from various vendors to enhance any décor. Along with lovely antiques, portraits and wall hangings; the shops also offer purses, jewelry, clothing (both baby and children's) and much more. You can also find my book, *Rosalie Serving Italian,* along with other cookbooks including Miss Aimee B's own Tea Room Cookbooks.
In short, the whole visit to Miss Aimee B's tea house will provide an afternoon of fun and relaxation. In the summer the outdoor gardens are beautiful and dinning there is always a special treat. One important date for you to remember is coming up January 29, 2009, when I will be doing a Cooking Class both in the afternoon from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm and again in the evening from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. The theme is Your Favorite Valentine Dinner. I will be featuring my Turtle Dove Pecan Cheesecake, so by all means call Miss Aimee B's now for your reservation - 636-946-4202.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving with your family and may the Good Lord bless us all. Also, if your are planning your Thanksgiving menu be sure to click on my website for my *Poppy Seed Bread with Orange Glaze.* Serve it warm for breakfast in the morning for your overnight guests or for your family; they will love it!
Buona sera, and Good Afternoon!
