Let’s Dish #85~BOO STEW~

Good Evening, Ladies!

Loved visiting everyone this week and seeing their white challenge entries.

Thanks for all who entered, and so many of you nailed it perfectly and stuck to the challenge of only ONE other color.

I know it was hard, but many of you aced it! A +!

Tonight I went with a traditional orange and black.

026

I started with a floor length black and white check cloth.

Next came a placemat.

027

It is cotton with the web painted on and the skull and crossbones sewn on.  I got it at Tuesday Morning.

040

There were 4 in the pkg., so 1.00 each, and very nice quality.

022

Next came an orange plate from Dollar Tree I think, a black print from HG clearance, and a white with orange stripe by Syracuse china for 50 cents from Ocean State Job Lot.

030

031

The checked flatware is by Pfaltzgraf and my friend Gail found it at Burlington House and sent it to me!  Thanks, Gail!

023

The skillet that our dinner will be served in is from a restaurant supply store.

The black with orange rick rack napkins are from HG, and the black footed ribbed glasses were from the Pfaltzgraff Clearance Outlet for .96.

The centerpiece is a large metal jack o’ lantern that is spitting out battery operated lights, topped with some Montauk Daisies and a bow.

038

I scrunched a black spider web lace cloth under it.

036

Eyeball salt and peppers from Christmas Tree Shop.

035

The little orange and black treat bag at each place are from Factory Direct Crafts.  You could write the name on the spider as place markers.

I find really good bargains there, you have to take the time to look, but they are there!  They have 20 off sales every so often too.  No, I am not being compensated.

048

I hope you are hungry for some BOO STEW!

Continuing with the Skillet O Rama…Part 4

052

I had a small piece of filet mignon left.  I cubed it, tossed it in flour and seasoning and browned it. 

Into the pan with some browned onion, carrots and some pan gravy.

Covered with foil and baked for 45 in.  Made mashed potatoes and piped them on, with some ghosts coming up!  :0

Returned to oven and baked till they got a little color.

053

Dig in, unless you are AFRAID!!!

  4. Hi Kathleen, I would certainly not be afraid to eat your Boo Stew in the cute skillet. You're getting such good use from those little skillets. I love your festive Halloween table, but I also love your header. They're both wonderful. Thank you for sharing all your bargains and for hosting. xo

  17. Please tell Gail that I am a wonderful friend, because I want some of that checked flatware! Great table, Kathleen. You made it all look like it was made just for Halloween. Of course, the salt and pepper shakers would probably not be used at another time of the year - those are a hoot! Boo Stew sounds pretty good to me. Thank you for hosting the linky. laurie

  22. I just bought little cast iron skillets in which to prepare individual servings, and i love them. You've certainly used yours cleverly. Thanks for last week's challenge. I've really enjoyed using my whites!

  23. Orange and black at its best! This is a fun table, Kathleen. Love the spider web placemats over the black and white cloth, and the black and white check flatware is calling out to me. I need to track down this pattern. I'm off to visit the Pfaltzgraf site. ;-)
    The Boo Stew is clever. Happy Halloween! ~ Sarah

  24. I don't think I've ever seen skillets at a place setting and of course, done up so wonderfully! Kathleen, you make even "pots & pans" look great! Enjoyed seeing your black and orange checked t'scape and hearing about all the bargains you've found to create it - terrific deal on the fabulous placemats. I'd love some of those ghost potatoes!
    Thanks for hosting LD!
