"From 11:00 to 12:00 we bide our time and then we eat lunch." The Lethargarians explain to Milo how they spend their days doing absolutely nothing.
Since I knew I'd be photographing my lunch today, I fixed myself an extra special one. On the menu: homemade chicken soup with matzah balls, an egg salad sandwhich, a nectarine and a glass of apple cider. And yes, it was good! I even used my "pretty dishes" to make the table look warm and welcoming. You know, I really should do that more often!
@dmariewms I usually grab whatever odd leftovers are in the frig and eat them out of the microwave containers. Not that nice for a photo, so today I went for the good stuff!
All right, Ann! This just happens to be my favorite kind of food . . where did you say that you live?!! Be right over! LOL. Beautiful display and capture of this. Great looking food and lovely Fall settings. My mouth is watering! :)
@karenann Well, you are welcome to come anytime you'd like to visit Eastern PA Karenann! We live near the Delaware Water Gap, so it's not a quick hop skip and jump from MN, but it is possible! And an added bonus- we're also not too far from Lancaster PA where they sell lots of Amish quilts!!
i'll come with you, @karenann!!! wait for me. ann, you should do it more often. what is the good dishes for if you're not going to enjoy it yourself. love that centerpiece. that reminds me, i should be making one soon. great shot. lovely set up.
Wonderful photo and why do we always put our 'pretty dishes' in the cupboard for a special occassion? We shouldn't have to wait until the guests come for dinner to enjoy them!
@mrssmith Thanks Carla- I would love to have you over for lunch! @httpgeffed Thanks Colleen- it was good! @karenann My younger son lives in Tecumseh and coaches at Adrian College. I'd show it to you on the hand, but I don't have a picture! @digitalrn Thanks Rick! @summerfield Thank you Summerfield- the centerpiece is a collection of Autumn things I basically just toss in there! Nothing fancy with me. And I actually do use these dishes on occasion- like when I've made something special for dinner. They're sort of a cross between everyday dishes and something a little nicer. I was thinking of selling them at a yard sale before we moved here, but a friend talked me out of it (there's only 2 place settings). I'm glad she did! And you are welcome to visit anytime! @nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole! I do use these dishes-see above.
@annaruth Thanks Anna! @alia_801 Thanks Alia- that sounds like it would be fun! I don't know if I could do 30 days of completely new recipes- but I do enjoy cooking and baking. I can see it now- the 365 Project Cook Book: photographic recipes from all around the world! @nicolecampbell You're right Nicole- it would be fun!
Oh, Ann ... what a lovely table setting. Great idea! I'm one of these stand up and grab a bite types. We used to have formal night dinners every Saturday, and I even thought of a cookbook idea but never did anything. Need to get back to that!! Yum! Matza Ball soup--is it homemade?
@cimes1 Thanks Carole- mostly. The stock, veggies, meat, etc. all from scratch. The matzah balls came in chicken stock and I added some additional organic chicken stock too. So it's a 75/25 split. (o:
