A Fall Lunch

The Lunch Bunch comes once a month to Linderhof

The plants are inside and the breakfast room is full of green

Enough room around the table for breakfast or lunch for Husband Jim and I

Not enough for 4!!!

So we're back in the dining room

We enjoyed our respite in the breakfast room

A bit more casual, perhaps

But it is good to be back at the "big table" in the dining room!

When I have four I like to do two by two

Rather than two, one at the head and one on the other side

It seems more balanced that way!

The dough bowl with the pumpkins

I have a great centerpiece for fall

and I use it again and again and again!

A white lace cloth

I love the rustic dough bowl and the more formal lacy cloth

And, of course, the blue and white

A menu, too, reflects that it is "pumpkin time"!

Classics, to me

a dough bowl

pumpkins in the fall

And blue and white!

Not pumpkin soup but rather tomato soup

With a bit of cream

And a big dollop of my freshly made pesto!

Retro food for lunch!

Chicken Noodle casserole -- updated a bit with penne instead of noodles, however

A crescent roll round baked in a muffin tin

And a salad of lettuces with vinaigrette

(to be really retro it needs to be iceberg!)

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