Three couples came for dinner on Saturday night. I set the table with Anne's Grandma Addy's dishes, Anne's Great Aunt Eva's silverware and linen napkins folded "Bishop's hat" style. Our menu included:
Pre-dinner wine: Chateau Sainte Michelle, Chardonny 2008 - Columbia Valley with assorted crackers; herbed Brie, Jarlsberg & Colby cheeses
New Year's toast: Linie Aquavit from Norway
Salad course: Pear, pomegranate & mixed greens with Blueberry/pomegranate dressing 'a l'Allison
Dinner wine: Columbia Crest - Grand Estates, Merlot 2006 - Columbia Valley
Entree: Minnesota pork chops filled with herb seasoned stuffing, marshmallowed sweet potatoes, feta & almond asparagus, lingonberries with assorted breads.
Dessert: Chocolate turtle cake or Rhubarb raspberry pie with coffee

Wow, quel menu!!!!!! Super. I have the same type of table to show on my blog. I like the way the napkins are presented. Don't you have a close shot of one of them?
Bon appétit !
It is a wonderful menu and a beautiful table setting. I think you need a tripod so you can time the snaps with YOU included with the group! Who was the chef?
Very elegant. Bishop's hat fold--I like that!
Mmmm, I would have loved a seat at that table.
