I used my Staffordshire Liberty Blue dinner plates that I bought by the placesetting at the grocery store each week when it first came out for our country's bicentennial. The handled Wood & Sons Gay Day cream soup bowls were used for the green salad.
The glassware is Fostoria Monet.
The menu was a green salad, spicy chicken cakes with horseradish aioli, mac/cheese (Vermont sharp cheddar, garlic boursin, goat cheese and a tiny bit of bleu cheese) and dessert was apple dumplings with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Some of the best friends in the world...Margaret, Jo Ann, Norma, Phyllis and SueZ all filled up!
Thanks for stopping by this week...hope you will come back.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people on the east coast that have been devastated by Hurricane Sandy.

Goodness, I would have loved to have been a guest at that luncheon. Yum, yum.
And since blue and white are some of my favorite dishes, I just love the setting, too. Super idea to serve the salad in the handled soup bowls; I love that and will have to borrow that idea.
I'd like to know a little more about your friends....do they enjoy and appreciate your beautiful tables? :-) The menu sounds wonderful.
I absolutely love your blue and white table settings. The table is gorgeous! I am your newest follower!
Pretty table!! Looks like everyone had a good time.

You got that tablecloth at Goodwill? I can see that I'm going to have to stop donating and start shopping! Lovely table.
My mom Norma and I were a couple of those lucky friends that Marigean invited over for lunch. The table setting was so crisp and clean. But let me tell you this lady can cook like no other. The food was fantastic. Thanks again, Sue Z.
Love the blue and white, and those cream soup bowls are so pretty!
