Catering by Teatime at Hunter House, Vienna VA

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Teatime Delicacies, Inc. wrapped up year 2014 with a delightful 50th birthday celebration held at the Hunter House at Nottoway Park, in Vienna VA, one of Fairfax County’s Parks and Recreation Historic Properties www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/maps/nottowaymap.htm

This is one in the collection of Northern Virginia rental properties that are lovely for wedding receptions or private parties.  In warmer weather the venue can accommodate a tent, increasing the guest capacity.  But for last night, we went old school with comfort food! This featured items from our Heavy Appetizer Menu.  It is a menu that works very well in a setting where table seating might be at a minimum as it is basically utensil free.

The above photo is an oldie but goodie:   Sweet and Sour Meatballs. Tender 1/2 ounce meatballs in a tangy pineapple sauce.

Baked Brie in Puff Pastry

 Baked Brie in Puff Pastry served with French bread.  Hard to argue with warm melted cheese.
Go ahead and try doing that!

 Another favorite, Baked Artichoke-Parmesan-Spinach Dip served with French bread.  I think we have served a thousand pounds of this over the years! It’s certainly a staple of Teatime and loved by our Washington DC clients.

Quesadilla Wedges

 And of course MORE melted cheese would be featured in our Quesadilla Wedges with Melted Pepper Jack Cheese-Corn-Oregano served with Salsa and sliced in to small wedges.  Occasionally we add Grilled Chicken Breast to this appetizer.

While this event did not call for one of our signature Wedding Cakes, it certainly required one of Ruth’s fabulous Birthday Cakes:

Incredibly Chocolate Fudge Cake

 The birthday gal loved yellow cake with chocolate icing.  We created our Yellow Butter Cake covered in Chocolate Ganache and Chocolate Curls for the big Five Oh.  It was a grand home run.

 Comfort foods, good friends, wine flows – what more can you ask for a delightful birthday celebration bringing another fabulous year of catered events by Teatime to a close.  Looking forward to many more weddings in 2015, actually we start the year off in less than two weeks for the first wedding of the year!
