A Salad Supper

For the Garden Club

Our monthly meetings run from

February through October

And our October meeting 

is always a dinner

And usually a potluck.

This year, I volunteered to host

And that it would be a "Salad Supper".

Salad Suppers were a 70's thing -- or started at least in the 70s.

Everyone would bring a favorite salad

Lots of favorite Linderhof recipes come from those Salad Suppers.

For my hosting duties . . .

I decided to use the green Williams Sonoma tablecloths

A garage sale find several years ago

Five long tablecloths, one round and one square

all matching.

They're great when we entertain a group!

I think I paid $20 for all of them!

The table in the breakfast room -- which will hold the food.

The "everyday" centerpiece of garden sunflowers and my German smokers are the centerpiece.

Since there were sixteen coming, I divided the group into two eights.

My co-hostess would sit at one table and I the other.

The table in the dining room -- set for eight

The blue and white bowl full of pumpkin and leaves centered the table.

Blue and white Spode plates are at each place

A fork and knife are the cutlery

Napkins will be paper, my co-hostesses contribution

The table in the living room -- also set for eight

The centerpiece is the bowl that's usually on the coffee table -- an Asian bowl filled with pumpkins and bittersweet.

The breakfast room table groaning under the Salad Supper offerings.

Good Salads All.

Everyone found their place to sit, we hostesses took care of drink ordered for our table 

After we cleared, we served dessert to our table.

Apple spice sheet cake with a salted caramel drizzle.

It's always fun to have company at Linderhof

And we had a fun time adjourning after dinner to the living room

for a short business meeting.

It's Thursday and I'm joining Cuisine Kathleen  for Let's Dish and Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.
