Last week I hosted my Cooking Club here. I set my table using a Lilly Pulitzer theme.
I bought Lilly fabric on eBay and had a runner made. I didn't arrange for my azaleas outside the dining room windows to be in bloom, but they made for a nice touch!
Heirloom tomato salad - beautiful presentation in addition to being delicious
Karey puts the finishing touches on her Cucumber-Avocado Soup
Cooking Club friends serve their plates
I prepared the main course of Southwestern Shrimp and Grits. Quite tasty though not as nice a presentation as the salad
**Notice the box of Lilly kitchen matches at the top of each place setting. Those were my party favors.**
Me with my friend Ellen
Dessert was Blackberry Shortbread Crumble - it was fabulous!
All recipes from from our current cookbook, Peace Meals, by the Junior League of Houston.
LOVELY! Of course I just LOVE it all! Your china is a favorite of mine too. Is it Countryware by Wedgewood? What a shame that it has been discountinues as it was a staple to so many. FABULOUS lunch Eloise!!!
It all looks so delicious; I'll have to get that cookbook! You entertain beautifully! It was so great getting to meet you last night at the blog gathering! I hope we'll do it again soon!

I unintentionally contaminated all of the pictures on my blog when I changed my privacy settings on Flickr. I am working backwards to correct them all, but it is quite a tedious procedure! If you encounter a post with error messages from Flickr where the pictures should be, then I haven't gotten to that post yet. Please let me know and I will update it immediately. Thanks for your patience!
