Any fan of Downton Abbey knows what tonight is – the premiere of Season 3! Will Mary and Mathew actually get married? Will Bates get out of jail? What will Thomas and O’Brien scheme up this year? Personally, I cannot wait for any scene with The Dowager Countess – brilliantly played by Maggie Smith (“What is a week-end?”) and now the addition of Shirley Maclaine as Cora’s mother to the cast, there are sure to be even more quotable lines.
So, why not have some tea and scones tonight or perhaps make one of these British inspired recipes in the weeks to come while watching Downton on a Sunday night (or whenever you fire up the DVR.)
Salt & Butter Radishes on Chive Buttermilk Biscuits
Watercress Sardine Tea Sandwiches
Caramelized Onion, Pepper & Cheddar Pie
Royal Wedding Tea – Serena’s post about the spread she served while watching Prince William & Kate’s wedding.
Who’s your favorite Downton Abbey character? Do you have a favorite British dish you eat or cook? Do you have any ties to England? (And to the lucky Brits who are a season ahead of us Americans, no spoilers, please!)
