Celebrate the Freshness of Spring!
Spring Coastal Table
Spring is one of our favorite seasons. While unpredictable as far as the weather is
concerned, the freshness of the season just makes you want to smile. The rains will come but the scent in the air
is so clean and refreshing. It makes
everything green up and look alive again after the long days of winter. Flowers begin to sprout and bloom, leaves
begin to bud on trees and thoughts turn to lighter, fresher meals.
At House By The Shore, when we think of cooking a big meal
and sharing it with friends, we also begin to think about how we will set and
decorate the table. We’re big believers
in pulling everyone around the table and not including those “electronic
devices” that tend to plague us all day long.
We stumbled across this divine recipe for Baked
Sole fillets which is healthy and uses fresh dill to season it from The Mediterranean Dish
blog. We’re going to pair it with Best Roasted
Greek Potatoes also from Suzy Karadsheh
and a Shaved
Brussels Sprouts & Pecorino Salad from Kendall-Jackson’s blog and Kelsey
Boyte. Kelsey has a blog of her
own called Happy Yolks but was a contributor to
Kendall-Jackson on this recipe. We’ve
actually had the Jackson
Estate Chardonnay 2012 Kelsey recommends and agree with her that it is
delightful so we’ll be serving it along with our meal.
Of course since we believe great
food deserves a great setting, we pulled together quickly some of our favorites
from our entertaining collection!
We’ll pull together a floral
centerpiece using some hydrangeas (a favorite of ours) and light some
candles. We’ll probably use 2 or three
on each side of the flowers of the ocean
blue votive candlestick and the ocean
blue seashell hurricanes. We’ll
use our blue
crab dinner plates designed by Eastern Shore artisan Jose Davis and our
pewter
coral handled flatware. We’ll
serve water in the sea
drops dark blue hi-ball glasses and the chardonnay in the octopus
pewter stem wine glass. For a
little extra seasoning and cute décor, we’ll have our pewter
seahorse salt and pepper shakers on the table. They’ll look great mixed in with the candles
and flowers.
Well, off to start cooking - wish
you could join us!
