The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe Book Club/Tea Party: Spinach Puffs

I am sooo, sooo, sooo behind in these. In October 2020 some friends and I started meeting every Wednesday for a Tea Party/Bible Study/Book Club. We began with The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis, and when we finished moved on to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This is different from my book club and the Book Club Picks I have been reviewing (and also desperately need to catch up on). I’ve been sharing all our tea recipes for you too, to try at home.

For the fifth and final week we did the feast with Aslan:

“Meanwhile, let the feast be prepared. Ladies, take these Daughters of Eve to the pavilion and minister to them.”

For this week we had Nobilitea’s Regal Plum (as the Pevensie’s are royalty), French Bread, Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole, Spinach Puffs, and Strawberry Shortcake.

One thing I will be doing differently here than in my earlier posts, is that I will be sharing discussion questions that your group can discuss as you read and eat. I didn’t post discussion questions in the previous posts on The Magician’s Nephew, as I wasn’t in charge of that book.

Let’s spill the tea.

This recipe comes from Gourmandize.

2. Mix 1 egg and water and set aside
3. Mix remaining eggs, cheese, spinach, onion and parsley
4. Unfold pastry on lightly floured surface.
5. Roll each pastry sheet into 12-inch square and cut each into 16 (3-inch) squares
6. Place 1 tablespoon spinach mixture in center of each square
7. Brush edges with egg mixture. Fold squares over filling to form triangles
8. Crimp edges to seal.

They were righteous and rocked. Haha, you can’t have a post on spinach puffs without mentioning Kronk!

The Magician’s Nephew Tea Party/Book Club: Cranberry Feta Pinwheels

So every Wednesday, starting in October, I have been a part of a Tea Party/Bible Study/Book Club on The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis. This is different from my book club and the Book Club Picks I have been reviewing (and desperately need to catch up on). I also need to catch up on these recipes. Week four we had Tiesta Tea Victorian Earl Grey, Lavender and Earl Grey Scones, Chicken Salad Sandwiches, Hummus Tomato Salad, Cranberry Feta Pinwheels, and Triple Berry Salad.

I couldn’t share the recipes in October as I was in the middle of Horrorfest IX, so I am catching up and of course next is the pinwheels.

This recipe comes from Let’s Dish.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces Cream Cheese
• 1/2 Cup of Crumbled Feta Cheese
• 1/2 Cup of Chopped Green Onions
• 1 5-oz Package Dried Cranberries
• 4 10-inch Tortillas

Directions:

1. In a small bowl; combine the cream cheese, feta cheese, and green onion.
2. Stir in the dried cranberries.
3. Divide mixture evenly between the four tortillas. 
4. Roll each tortilla up as tightly as you can and wrap in plastic wrap.
5. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
6. Slice the rolled tortillas into 1-inch slices and serve.

This was delicious. We all loved them, and they were a great addition to our tea party.
