I enjoy eating...good food.
I also enjoy having guest for dinner, because that makes me enjoy the food even more!
Tonight we are having a couple from our Church...nothing fancy.
(but I am not even a fancy person
to start with)
So here is how I prepared for them tonight.
You see the wine glass and the short glass.
The water is mainly to clean your palate between foods.
I also used a mix of plates.
The wooden bowls were a gift from a long time ago, and will be used for the salad, the small plate is for our antipasto, and the dinner plate is for the actual dinner.
That's how we do in Italy, we get a new plate for each course.
On the table you see our antipasto.
Cold cuts.
Tonight is Prosciutto crudo and salame.
And you also get to see our rustic wooden trivet (that I made from scraps here).
Later on it will serve to hold our hot food.
Hope you enjoyed learning a little more on how Italians eat.

Good Morning Daniela, As you say, Frugal Ain't Cheap, your table setting is lovely. I love how you have created a relaxed feeling. For me that's the best way to enjoy food, well also adding good company. Best Wishes Daphne
ReplyDeleteVery nice table.....we Italians here always have salad at the end of the meal, to aid the digestion....then fruit and baby mozzarella....enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteYour table setting is so pretty. Love the pop of color in the napkins. It's fun to learn more about your Italian heritage.
ReplyDeleteReminds of being in Italy.. Just so nice and inviting. Love your trivet! Great napkins.. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteThe prosciutto is so pretty that at first I thought it was a lot of creatively folded pink napkins!!! :-) I hope you had a great dinner with your friends. I'm sure they appreciated the effort you put into creating a nice table for them!
ReplyDeleteSomeone is going to have a great dinner. Every detail looks inviting and sounds delicious. And, I love that you are already putting your wood trivet to work.

How fun to hear how you create a special meal. Simple makes things more relaxed and enjoyable, although that's looks pretty well put together, especially with your handmade trivet and the plate layering. I hope you all had a great time!
