Ladies Who Lunch

Friends came from Nevada for lunch

It was a celebratory occasion

for it was Frankie's birthday!

And Judy decided that Linderhof was the perfect place to celebrate

this occasion!

The lace tablecloth

My Aynsley Pembroke

Jim's grandmother's cutlery

Damask napkins in silver rings

There's always herbs in the garden

And garden herbs make good luncheon centerpieces

This one is fennel

A three course luncheon

A blue and blue salad

Blueberries and blue cheese

Crisp romaine dressed with my favorite homemade poppyseed dressing

Chutney chicken and white and wild rice

Chocolate charlotte for dessert

A cool dessert for a hot day

Creamy cool chocolate and whipped cream surrounded by boozy ladyfingers

Served with a creme brûlée coffee

I enjoy friends coming for lunch

I get to try new dishes!

And all of these I would make again

And that dessert . . . .
