Festivities Continue

Another festive lunch! We hosted Aunt Becky and Uncle Cory along with Karen.

IMG_1792 (800x600)

On the menu:

  • Baked Potato Soup served in Homemade Bread Bowls
  • Mixed Greens Salad with Tomatoes, Strawberries, Feta and Homemade Croutons
  • Fruit Tart (Karen’s contribution)

IMG_1797 (800x600)

I set the table with my grandmother’s English Woods Ware china

IMG_1784 (800x600)

Complete with a and matching soup tureen (who ever would have thought I’d find a time to use this!?)

IMG_1788 (800x600)

Silver soup spoons (look at me in the reflection!!)

IMG_1783 (800x600)

A crystal bowl full of salad (which was a wedding gift). I tossed the salad in the lemon olive oil and fig balsamic vinegar Larbs + Matt got us for Christmas. I couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect dressing.

IMG_1790 (800x600)

I nibbled on a smoked salmon crostini while we prepped

IMG_1780 (800x600)

The bread bowls rising

IMG_1778 (800x600)

And ready for eating!

IMG_1791 (800x600)

Soup toppings

IMG_1793 (800x600)

My bowl topped with some bacon crumbles, cheese and lite sour cream

IMG_1795 (800x600) 

Salad (I had seconds too)

IMG_1796 (800x600)

The bowl remains. Guess who was the only one at the table to devour his entire bowl (and some of mine!!?)

IMG_1798 (800x600)

Sweet ending

IMG_1801 (800x600)

I submitted my Banana + Barney Butter Breakfast Sandwich to Tastespotting and made it on today!! (Hope you can see it before it’s lost in the mix): Tastespotting.

Study time needs to begin ASAP. See you for a late low-key dinner.

    I love bread bowls! Especially when the outside stays crispy and the inside is soggy – yum!

    Beautiful china too – I am sure your grandma is happy to use it!

    Congrats on Tastespotting! I’ve tried a few things but haven’t made the cut.

    Kath,
    Soooo wonderful. You deserve to be TOP SPOT at tastespotting. 🙂

    I wanted to tell you that I loved that you just ate and sorta kinda picture journaled last night. I think it would be cool for you to do a whole day of just shooting some of what you eat, no real description, and leaving the rest to our imagination. It showed a easy going attitude about enjoying our food, not having to keep track (even via pictures) of everything we eat. I LOVED IT! XOXO

    and yay for massive bread eater hubby! I am married to one of those… 😉

    XOXO

    The Tastespotting site is so neat. It took me a bit to find your banana bread but it sure looks good. For anyone wanting to know, it’s number 33591 and I also found it on your profile there http://www.tastespotting.com/profile/katheats
