If not for the chopsticks,I think Mexican or Mediterrenean cuisine will be appropriate for this very colourful setting,but whatever you have prepared I’m sure it’s gonna be exciting and delicious!

I meant delft blue…we have quite a few good local potters such as lanelle, ugu and/pettyjohn but I must say that from what you have featured so far, the ones from your mom’s/grandma’s era (vintage) always stand out!

I’m quite partial to the classic whites and anything blue (think: delft pottery)but your colored glasses are LOVELY!!! And so are the chopstick sheaths!!!! They are really AWESOME!

Lovely setting, but I understand your preference for white plates, which are not only like a blank canvas, but enable you to discern detail of the meal.
From memory, John Pettyjohn of Pansol potteries used to handcraft light coloured stoneware dinner plates, and I am sure he is still at his Los Banos(Pansol) pottery.
You used to be able to buy beautiful mud crabs by the roadside on our visits there.

I’m guessing something “asian with a twist” type of meal because of the chopsticks! hehehe

Greetings!

When I first moved out, everything has to be a set…silverware, china, glasses, utensils, pots and pans…you name it, I got a set. As I got older, my thinking has changed and now anything goes… It frees you up in a lot of ways…and the combination is limitless…

What are you serving? Spaghetti with Swedish meat balls and hot pandesal with garlic butter…

lovely, MM!! the meal?? the one you throw together when cleaning out your fridge??? you’re so good at that! but then, only you would have exotic ingredients in the nooks of the pantry and fridge.

the local pottery barn has their spring decor out..lime greens, peaches and yellows predominate.
