Late entry to Susan's Tablescapes on Between Naps on the Porch...please stop in and see the others, and there are LOTS of them!
Just a simple table tonight..
The runners were in the clearance at Marshalls a few years ago. 70 cents!
I sewed a pocket in some and used them as valances till I found the ones I wanted...
The white chargers are Noritake..2.00 a few years ago.I bought them to use as platters as I wasn't into tablescaping then.
The red beaded plates are WmSonoma, as are the white with red trim salad plates..They were 4 for 5.00
The little wagon is a mini Radio Flyer, I have a whole set that I got on ebay...filled with white flowers..
The napkins are Vera and I have had them a long time, they have apples on them..
And since I used a lot of Red in this table, I am linking up with the Flaunt your Red Party over at Poofing the Pillows..please stop in there and get RED eyes..:)Thanks for hosting, Stacey!
And here's a little more red, just so I qualify..
And this one from February..
I am also joining Gollum for Foodie Friday at Designs by Gollum...lots to feast your eyes on there...
I call this Lucky Leftovers..
A bed of crisp Romaine lettuce, leftover sliced steak,(London Broil that I had done on the grill the other night) red onion and goat cheese discs...I have explained those in another post, click here...I love how the warm cheese oozes out over the warmed steak and crunchy greens...
For dessert...Apple crisp..kind of..I had bought a bag of those Sister Shubert rolls that a fellow blogger said were very good. And they were...but somehow as I jammed the bag back into the freezer, mine got smooshed.
So I made crumbs with the misshapen rolls. I took some of the crumbs and processed them with butter, sugar, cinnamon and walnuts, and I sprinkled them on top of sliced granny smith apples and baked...
My flashback is to a wonderful eggplant I found at the farm...I just had to bring him home! My little gkids got a kick out of him sunbathing in his beach chair...actually, I did too!
Suzy hosts Flashback Friday at Kitchen Bouquets...go see the delicious Apple strudel she made for the Daring Bakers challenge!
Good night...Thanks for coming...I took this pic today..just for you..:)
Oh that salad with the oozing cheese sound delicious!! I just had a salad with a fried brie wedge on top and it was yummy. Love all your dishes and settings. Love the setting in your header, too! Happy F.F. to you!

ReplyDeleteKathleen, what a fun "a little bit of everything" post. Love seeing your different red tablescapes. I always enjoy seeing your Red Flyer wagons.
ReplyDeleteThe salad and the apple crumb look delicious.
I don't remember ever seeing the adorable eggplant ... don't know how I missed him.
Love the cheese idea; am going to try that one soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd your table is gorgeous! The little red wagon with the white petunias is just so cute and just so perfect. Really nice!
We are heading East early tomorrow morning, going to check on the house and see what needs doing so we can use it this summer; I may bring home some local wine, and local goat cheese too from the little dairy just west of Mattituck.
More likely the wine, if Howard has his way!

PS make sure we have nice weather, OK?

ReplyDeleteYou know I love all of your red tablescapes :) I also love your new blog decor! It reminds me of my other favorite - MacKensie-Childs!
ReplyDeleteHow I wished I liked goat cheese. Your description of it melting over the steak salad sounds so good.
Where oh where did you find those red and white dishes in your banner? And the red and white polka dotted ones? I am in love with red and white in the kitchen. Also, love your unusual blog sidebar.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
The eggplant has me laughing and gave me a fun idea for my next cooking light group meeting at my house. Thanks for sharing.

Is there anything better than leftover steak sliced thin and served on a salad? Yummmmmm! Love the warm goat cheese touch... I've been meaning to try it.
ReplyDeleteWell, Dayum...That was just a whole lotta FUN! You can sure find the good deals...and put them all together beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI loved your post!
I so love your red tables! I can't pick my fave, so they both are! The red wagons and apple napkins, I sure could use those, all are charming and wonderful. Great talent! Cindy

Hello Kathleen, there is so much to enjoy about this post, just beautiful and I am drooling over your lucky leftovers and apple crisp and your gorgeous clematis. Your banner/header tablescape has to be the prettiest I have seen, happy weekend, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea for the smooshed rolls--and it looks divine. You have the best dishes; I have some red polka dots but need some of the ribbon/plaid. I love your pie on the sidebar--What a pain! So funny.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
G

Kathleen, I'm so sorry I'm just now getting here. I was so busy posting everyone to the list that I didn't actually look at a couple. Your tables are amazing. Looks like flaunting red is no problem for you!! Your food looks delicious too.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for joining us for Flaunting Your Red!
Kathleen, you are sooo funny! That sunbathing eggplant is so cute! I LOVE that polka dot tablescape. Those little wagons in the other tablescape are darling! Your food photos and descriptions always make me want to eat something (even when I have just eaten!). laurie
