The table scape is as stunning as the food!

You set a beautiful table. It's such a joy to collect the "accoutrement" to do so no matter your style.

[@katiefredrickson6955]

I can attest, she really does cook like this and set the table like this for her family.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

As did Grandmom!

[@tonyawilliams9433]

You remind me of myself...l really love being a homemaker....it is so joyous to create a beautiful home and make people feel special. Thank you for sharing your journey and showing us how lovely it is to be a gracious hostess. 🙂💗

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Love that!

Beautiful!! My grandmother made meals like this all the time. I wish I would have appreciated them more.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

I am sure your grandmother wold be thrilled to know she created a strong memory!

[@lianeabeyta4515]

Wow.... this is the most mouth watering meal video I have ever watched. Looks like a $100.00 a plate meal at a 5 star restaurant. How special your guests must have felt. You made it look to do able! Plus your table with the gorgeous teal goblets and the silver platter of food in the center was pure eye candy. I am blown away! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

I chose recipes that are easy to do in hopes that people will try them!

[@maryoleary2037]

We've had dialogue before about setting a nice table. It is an art, that sadly is becoming forgotten. Your table looked wonderful and the meal truly delectable.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Yes! Thank you!

[@libbyhinson4676]

What an elegant meal and set table! Love it!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@melaniemorris7757]

Everything looks delicious! I love a beautifully set table!( thank you for setting it correctly!) It makes the meal so special!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

I totally agree!

[@carolrodenbeck2381]

I will come to dinner at your house anytime!! I love a beautifully set table. So many people eat off paper plates or very casually in a buffet style now it's almost a lost art. Everything looked delicious - thanks for sharing! Your videos are wonderful!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Any time!

[@cynthiagreen6927]

Beautiful and elegant table. I love your Lenox China and sterling flatware. Francis the First is my favorite. Your meal looks delicious. I’m sure your guest were thrilled with the menu and I just bet you’re a perfect hostess. Hugs from Texas

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thank you! 🤗 Leave it to a gal from Texas to know what she is looking at! These have been our family patterns for multiple generations. To my eye, nothing is as pretty as Francis I.

[@cynthiagreen6927]

@@stonecottageadventures304 I think Autumn is one of the prettiest patterns Lenox makes. I have the Liberty pattern. I have Francis1 pattern also and live the history behind it. Each piece has different pieces of fruit. I have a Francis 1 serving tray I found thrifting.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

@@cynthiagreen6927 I used to have a brochure that identified all the different types of fruit. I love finding pineapples and pomegranates. But thrifting is the ultimate Easter egg hunt!

[@cynthiagreen6927]

@@stonecottageadventures304 I have the brochure. I sent off for it but, can’t remember where. It list what fruit is on each utensil. It fun looking and identifying each piece of fruit.

What a beautiful spread on that platter :-)

Lori. I do this all the time. My son bought me one of those this past Christmas including the pot. I’ve yet to use it. Your Lenox autumn China was very popular 44 years ago when I registered for my wedding. It was very expensive back then. So instead I registered for something very plain, Lenox solitaire. Several years later Lenox came out with the Christmas holiday pattern. I received pacesetting’s for Christmas every year for a long time to get enough for holiday meals. I love seeing and setting a pretty table. When my son was little he would see the tablecloths come out then the China and get so excited because he knew his cousins, aunts, uncles, grand parents would be visiting. Such memories. Now I have him and his family over every Saturday for family dinner. I use the linens and China every week. Memories are being made.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Next week my husband I will celebrate our 44th anniversary. My mother, aunt, and sister all had Lenox Autumn, so I never even considered anything else. I love that you are making memories for your son's family.

Thanks for sharing, beautiful china and teal glasses, you are a lady after my own heart, I have multiple China sets and Crystal sets and believe in using all my beautiful things on a regular basis accompanied by wonderful meals.

Wonderful!

[@marymcfarland2089]

Is your good china from Lennox ? The pattern looks familiar and the silverware is lovely, what is the pattern ? Nice meal indeed.

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Yes, it is!The pattern is Lenox Autumn. The silverware is Reed and Barton Francis the First.

Table cloth has to be ironed! No exemption! Specifically if you teach someone how to set up the table

[@stonecottageadventures304]

You are right. My apologies.

Everything looks beautiful but I would have to say no to the steak. I cannot eat steak unless it’s well done.

The beauty of sous vide is you set the exact temperature for the doneness you prefer. It is perfect every time!
