Spring Table

This is my Spring table.  It's in my formal dining room.  Why do we have a
"formal" dining room . . .that we NEVER use . . .so that we can have a
pretty decorated table to look at!


This Spring, I used black, white, silver, cream, and glass.
Added in a bit of Spring flowers and a bit of grass to
get an airy look.

The silver was what I had stashed under the china cabinet.
For the dishes, I went to the Goodwill store and bought
mix and match plates and bowls.  I even found a couple
of silver trays to use as chargers.  For less than $10.00
I bought what I needed to get "the look."

My silver teapot holds some silverware, some wispy grass and a bird.

You can never have enough birds!  They're so cute! 
You can tuck them  . . .and nestle them . . .they're just
perfect!

You'll need some "Reindeer Moss" to use around your table (that's
what you see pecking out of the white bird nest).  It's a great filler.
Also, see the hourglass in the background . . .that's a fun thing
to have too!


This is on the side table by all the other stuff.  I kept the theme by
using the silver, white, glass, a bit of black, and some Spring flowers.

A great site to look at is http://www.nellhillsblog.com/ for some wonderful ideas about decorating!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
