Linderhof


Gardening, Cooking and Decorating on the Prairie of Kansas


Welcome to Linderhof, our 1920's home on the prairie, where there's usually something in the oven, flowers in the garden for tabletops and herbs in the garden for cooking. Where, when company comes, the teapot is always on and there are cookies and cakes to share in the larder.

A Spring Lunch for Company

Company for lunch today
Friends from Nevada
To celebrate a birthday . . . 



The table in the dining room
The lace cloth and damask napkins in silver rings
Jim's grandmother's cutlery


My grandmother's china
And a menu, of course, for each place


The centerpiece of garden flowers -- lavender iris and yellow tulips
and bridal wreath


The menus echo the iris in the centerpiece

Lunch was full of Spring flavors . . . 


An asparagus quiche with fresh local asparagus


Served with a salad of romaine, fresh strawberries, red onions, walnuts and a homemade poppyseed dressing

Since they were Missourians,
dessert was Bess Truman's Frozen Lemon Pie


An old fashioned lemon pie full of lemony flavor
A perfect dessert for a warm Spring day

One of my favorite ways to spend a day is to have company for lunch . . . 
tidying up the house, fix a delicious meal and have great conversation

I'm joining Susan at Between Naps On The Porch for Tablescape Thursday

What a perfect spring table you set. The menu cards were inspired in their color.
