the shire


Don't get too excited LOTR fans... this has nothing to do with your precious hobbit-filled shire... but it does involve a magical "elven bread" of sorts...

Monday we had to go pick up the key for the Omaha house we would be staying at. On the way back to Omaha we heard about this little tea house in Puhoi… the Puhoi Cottage. They have all this history about the house and the land and the town, yadda yadda yadda, but most importantly, they have these world renowned (or at least commonwealth renowned) Devonshire Teas. "Devonshire Teas" is a little deceiving - it's not just a tea, it's basically a combo of some sort of a hot tea (or coffee or hot chocolate) and this HEAVENLY scone/biscuit that is accompanied with fresh whipped cream and homemade jam served to you by this little cute man (to clarify - he's not a hobbit... he's just the owner who happens to be short). It is freaking to die for. Josh said the scones were the size of baby’s heads… it’s true, but not the best way to describe something you eat, eh?






They were so good in fact that Josh and I stopped in again on Thursday on our way back to Carey Park. Yum!
