It is a bit of a tradition to embrace bright colours in summer. Ours is so short lived; the warm days & long nights are a joy after winter.
I'm having friends join us for supper, not dinner. For me, supper is a relaxed get together with generally only a main & pudding. It is a time to catch up on each others busy lives. Dinner is a bit more formal & is rarer.
However, I still love to set the table. It was my ‘job’ as a child to set our long dining table for 7 each night or more if friends & grandparents were joining us. Supper was always at the table at home & it was a time to catch up on each others day in the era of no mobile phones.
I digress; pink table cloth & runner, green & pink placemats, green tinged wine glasses & green glasses & jug that belonged to Olive.
It is always fun to have lots of candles & my coloured glass ones do very nicely. Taller pink & green holders & smaller tea lights in pink, green & blue - summery & fun.
It has been a hot week so the menu is lemon, lime & ginger spatchcock chicken, minted new potatoes, garlic bread, mixed green salad, shopska salad, carrot & pineapple salad.
It is strawberry season so Eton mess is light enough with berry compote, meringues, strawberries & cream in coloured glass bowls that fit in well. The vintage bowls are a mixture of pink, green & blue.
I think it is a good mid summer meal that is wholesome without being heavy.
What would your ideal mid summer meal be? Thank you for stopping by, it is appreciated.
