Mother's Dinner Party

/
It is often a challenge to find creative gifts for our parents so Sister Ex and I offered our entertaining services. We helped our Mother put together a dinner party and what fun it was to plan and execute.

A rough outline of our menu:

The beginnings of our place cards with the supplies and classes found here.

 The beginning of the tablescape


Cute bowls for the Cheddar Granny Smith Apple Soup


 Prosciutto-Wrapped Grilled Shrimp with a Kalamata Aioli
 Herbed Goat Cheese Endive Boats with Slivered Beets and Snipped Chives
 Pear and Gorgonzola Bruschetta
 The kitchen staff enjoyed wine from our favorite Washington Spa- Cave B.

 Mother took some time away from the guests to teach Sister Ex and I how to prepare the Risotto.
The ingredients were premeasured just like a cooking show.
 The bar wench..

 A Creamy Lemon Custard Tart from Macrina Bakery

 And of course the guests!






Staging-Ravenna Neighborhood

/
Once again my Dad has come to the rescue and loaned me his camera. I was panicked looking out over the tree tops from my studio window and thinking that I don't have a camera to capture the beautiful fall colors. Now I do...however temporary. Now I can photograph our stagings from our point of view. All is good in my world and I am happy.
