Elegant Table Settings

[richtee]

Surely...LOL! I used a cool jello mold last year and packed it with smoked chicken pate'. Garnished with "crown cut" radishes and rosemary "trees" for the Christmas look :{) Was hollow, so I filled the center with Triscuit crackers and Carr's water crackers...my faves for this kind of stuff.

THIS SETTING IS FOR 2 ..SERVING ANYTHING FROM PRIME RIB TO CHICKEN BREASTS.. I ADDED A FEW EXTRA NAPKIN FOLDS ..MOST OF THE FOLDS ARE SIMPLE BUT THE ARTICHOKE FOLD HAS A BIT OF DIFFICULTY TO THE UNEXPERIENCED..(THE FOLD UNDER THE CANDLES) A SIMPLE SETTING HERE

Definitely train that thirteen year old how to set a great table. There's something sooo sexy about a man that can set a mood.

In barbecue we eat with our senses including our eyes, so why should the presentation be lacking? I was always proud that my kids might not be president but they sure as heck know how to garnish a plate and to fold a napkin a hundred different ways.

Mike, I think it's a great idea and I ask the powers that be to start a "table setting contest" forthwith! Pictures from now til Valentines, so we can include the Thanksgiving and Christmas settings. Surely we'll all have something smoked as the centerpiece?[/quote]
