Last week I posted about an Easter party I, along with a group of friends from church, are planning for the Friendship House that serves the inner city, including many displaced refugee families in our city.... I am looking so forward to this... our church has come along side this ministry for several years and being on the Benevolent Committee of my church has shown me the great need to get involved more personally.
So I am hosting a ladie's luncheon this week to go over the plans and prepare some of the items we will need. So I springifying the house.....
I shopped around each room looking for bunnies who find new homes other seasons of the year!It is so cold and rainy out today, I am just using a small arrangement I found on the hutch from last week, but hopefully, I will have fresh flowers on lunch-eon day!
Since this will be a simple spring affair, I am just using the salad plates.
I love to use Lynn's mother's china in spring with their sweet bouquets..
Syracuse, pattern, Portland.
The gentle curves of the teacup makes supping tea or coffee pure delight...
my menu Thursday will include
Sesame Ginger Chicken
this dish reminds me exactly of the scrumptious lunch I ordered at Ming Tsai's Blue Ginger in Wellesley.
Blue Ginger Chicken Lettuce Cups - 14
soy stir-fry chicken with jicama, crispy vermicelli
and green leaf lettuce
There we rolled the delicious chicken bits into the lettuce leaves and ate the rolls with our fingers.... so yummy!
I will also serve deviled eggs and asparagus...
then
Just perfect with a lovely cup of freshly ground coffee!
Your spring luncheon sounds like a wonderful way to host a work and fun session. The pretty Portland china is perfect for Spring. Your menu will be so delicious especially the lettuce wraps. Have a warm and Springy week!

Your spring luncheon sounds delightful. And your menu is mouthwatering!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely tablescape! The bunnies are adorable! Your food looks and sounds yummy. Gosh, I used to love Ming on Food Network. Miss seeing him on his own show. I did get his cookbook years ago for my brother and he loves it.

The plans for your luncheon look wonderful and some fresh flowers will add that last special touch to the table. I think we have the same pink wine glasses.

Looks so pretty. You inspired me to get out my little milk glass vase like yours. I never appreciated it before!
