What would be an extremely easy food for an English tea party?

We Answered:

Chocolate Strawberries
Wash a pint of strawberries, and place on a paper towel to dry (they should be just big enough for 1 or 2 bites) do not remove stems and the little green leaf crown
melt Wilton's chocolate melts.and dark Chocolate melts work nicely with the strawberries
Hold the strawberries by the crown and dip about 2/3's of the strawberry into the melted chocolate.
Place on waxed or parchment paper to harden and dry.
place on serving plate and keep in the refrigerator until needed
( you can make these up to 2 days ahead. Just make sure they are covered so not to pick up off smells and flavors.)
You can also dip cherries as long as they are pitted, apple slices , orange slices, or banana chunks (about and inch and a half big). but the last three have to be done the same day as you serve them. Make sure to sprinkle orange juice on the apples so they do not turn brown

Plan on about 2-3 per person pluss plenty for the cook to taste.

Does anyone have the february 2007 edition of martha living magazine?

We Answered:

Uh-oh...I already tossed my copy. I had a missing recipe once, and found my local library carried Living, and so I photocopied it there.

I found a "Basic Shortbread Wedges" recipe from Living that I kept from some time back. If you'd like that recipe, post your e-mail address and I'll send it to you. It has unsalted butter, flour, salt, sugar and vanilla as the ingredients.

Good luck. Shortbread ROCKS.
