I enjoy that feeling. I love cooking delicious food for those that I love, setting a lovely table and really enjoying a meal. It's not just about eating; dinnertime is an event. Tonight we had two lovely couples over for dinner. I pulled out the velvet tablecloth, lit the candles, and made the delicious Chicken Divan I mastered a couple of weeks ago. It was delicious (phew!) We sat and talked for 2 hours after we finished eating and then topped the night off with strawberry rhubarb pie warmed and topped with vanilla bean ice cream. It was such an enjoyable evening with amazing food and even better company. I think the world would be a lot better off if neighbors, friends and associates would participate in a meal together once in a while. It's amazing what you can learn across the dinner table. Funny, interesting, and touching experiences just flow so easily in a relaxed environment like that. And that - my friends - is why I love entertaining.

About me. I am a mom, wife, daughter, sister, granddaughter and friend. I love all things domestic except laundry. My two splurges in life are Banana Republic and Anthropologie.

The make me feel equal to the rest of the world, and make my legs look amazing!
