Following Bloody Mary's and antipasto plates of shrimp and bruschetta with goat cheese and tomatoes, we repaired to her dining table, which was beautifully set with flower arrangements and the Beau Jack's late mother's china.
Shame on me for not photographing the food but I'll give you an idea of how good it tasted. Eggs Benedict, bacon, asparagus, new potatoes, mixed fresh fruit, Mimosas, and for dessert (as if we needed it!) fresh strawberries, ice cream and Angel Food cake.
Holy mackeral!
To top off the day, Beau Jack presented his surrogate Mom with this beautiful live orchid.
The M and I went home sated and mightily pleased. A grand day, indeed.
Grand celebration. The table looks superb.
ReplyDeleteFit for a queen, as we used to say.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds almost perfect. Maybe missing English muffins and orange marmalade but otherwise....WOW!
ReplyDeleteNo, no, Joe. The Eggs Benedict was on an English muffin and we had extras with orange marmalade!
DeleteSomeone certainly has a flair for entertaining. Lovely table.
ReplyDeleteWell that all just sounds fabulous!
ReplyDeleteShould read "SWMBO and me." Not "I."
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely correct. I shall emend it.
