A Brunch With Martha

On April 1, I headed East to the little Missouri town on the prairie as I was invited by another Martha to be a brunch guest.

She moved to the little town after I left. Jokingly, I refer to it as a "One Martha Town"!!!

Her table was exquisite, her meal terrific but the best part was the company. It was a lovely Friday afternoon and it was good to meet new friends and to get reacquainted with old ones.

Martha served her brunch in the dining room.

Her elegant dining room table was set with pretty bird placements and matching napkins tied with a green Gerbera daisy.

Lovely silver charges, pretty cutlery, lovely china (from her mother) and crystal.

A pretty spring centerpiece atop some "cabbage" leaves.

And wee nests which held the placecards.

The menu posted in the kitchen were we started the brunch with Mimosas and fruit kabobs.

A great way to start a brunch -- champagne and orange juice!

The coffee service on the dining room buffet. The china had a blackberry pattern -- perfect for Spring.

And the brunch . . .

Spiral Omelete Supreme

Rosemary Roasted Red Potatoes

Orange Roasted Asparagus

Morning Glory Muffins

Freshly Brewed Coffee

and for dessert . . .

Individual Fondant Cakes with Fruit --

the blackberries on the plate echoed the blackberry plate!

Of course, I left with all the recipes and the menu would make a wonderful Easter brunch.

Martha was a gracious hostess and I so enjoyed starting April with such a wonderful brunch.

It's not my table, but I'm sharing Martha's table with Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for it's Tablescape Thursday and I can't think of a lovlier tablescape to share than Martha's!
