Time Flies When You Are Having Fun...

I polished some silverware, that came from my late mother-in-law, this afternoon and before I knew it, it was time for dinner. Of course, I hadn't even thought about what we would be having. I quickly whipped up some crab cakes and pasta.





This is what it looked like before polishing, not real bad but bad enough.

Here it is after I got done.

This is the pattern, but I have no idea what it is.

Not even sure if it is sterling or silverplate. Do any of you experts out there have any idea what I have here? Sterling or silverplate?

Here is the recipe for the pasta.

EILEEN'S FANTASTIC PASTA

1 10 oz pkg of frozen spinach thawed & drained
4 tablespoons Olive Oil
4 large cloves Garlic minced
1/2 cup White Wine
1 cup chicken stock

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground Pepper
