One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating. ~Luciano Pavarotti and William Wright, Pavarotti, My Own Story

Food IS love made tangible... it is a gift that meets the needs of the soul as well as the body. I have found that preparing and presenting food with great care is worth the effort....creating an atmosphere that warmly invites guests to linger. As Julia Child said, "Nothing is too much trouble, if it turns out as it should."

Party in Lavender and Green
Lavender and green ~ that's what she wanted! It was feminine and festive ~ all for sweet Becky, who finished graduate school May 15th. The sandwiches had a variety of fillings: cream cheese & cucumber, tuna salad, ham salad, cream cheese & strawberries, chicken salad.... I used various sizes/shapes of cookie cutters to cut the bread. Some of the guests also brought food, and the punch was Renae's foolproof recipe of Sprite and lime sherbet. Balloons and flowers added the final touch.
