I am kind of leaning towards the time we stayed at the Lodge at Koele on the island of Lanai, when we got married in 2000.
Usually whenever you have a wedding reception at a hotel in Hawaii, the hotel includes a room for you to stay in.
Since we had our reception at a golf clubhouse, the clubhouse catering gave us a room at any hotel of our choice.
We chose the Lodge at Koele, so all we had to pay for was our airfare.
The hotel had a daily afternoon tea held in their lobby area and guests could have various teas and sweets...one of them being scones.
Recently my friend, Val, gave me a package of those scones from the Lodge...these are dense but are delicious after they are toasted a little.
No need for butter or jam, the cranberries give them a lot of flavor.
I'm glad I got to re-connect with these scones, thanks Val!
Fun! Makes me want to go have High Tea. ;-) I can't remember when I ate my first scone...
ReplyDeleteI wasn't much of a foodie back then Deb in Hawaii, so that is as far as my memory takes me ;)

I had no idea about hotels comping rooms when you arrange a reception with them, but that makes sense. In any case, how nice of Val to get you some scones!
ReplyDeleteso true about food and memories J-A!
ReplyDeleteRowena, really?! maybe I just think they comp everyone that has a reception at their hotel...
Take care you two.

What a great food memory! Some hotel chains give you chocolate chip cookies here - love them, haha.
ReplyDeleteI think we had a hotel here that gave warm chocolate chip cookies too, K, not sure if they are still operating here though.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
