Next time you are in town, i will show it to you.<br />I say 'kitchen' in quotes...like me, Diane did not cook. And this whole elaborate scene was strictly for the photography shoot. The photographer was another friend of mine, Russell MacMasters.<br /><br />very best and thanks, DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-53406509026137680012012-02-13T09:56:46.905-05:002012-02-13T09:56:46.905-05:00What a great post and very inspiring.

Let it sit in the dressing for a few minutes before serving to soften it.Frances Schultzhttp://www.francesschultz.com/category/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-37832320140548869952012-02-13T09:29:19.584-05:002012-02-13T09:29:19.584-05:00Barnabus- It doesn't sound frumpy or unsophist...Barnabus- It doesn't sound frumpy or unsophisticated in the least. Really quite the opposite. I think that the use of white blossoms helps to soften the grouping of lemons and limes and adds nice interest.The Peak of Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-89182846944399436392012-02-13T09:28:13.790-05:002012-02-13T09:28:13.790-05:00Karena, Does she have a blog?Karena, Does she have a blog?The Peak of Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-89468091730197837152012-02-13T09:27:34.540-05:002012-02-13T09:27:34.540-05:00Classicist- I do like the idea of Suzanne's le...Classicist- I do like the idea of Suzanne's lettuce centerpiece.

I remain quite partial to the old springtime standby of lemons and/or limes in a heavily-plated Revere bowl with a few overlaying white blossoms for added interest- dogwood blossoms being my favorites. Although some may call it frumpy or unsophisticated, I see this look as simple, all-American and pretty damn chic.Barnabus Collinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-16085594503950196142012-02-13T09:15:05.904-05:002012-02-13T09:15:05.904-05:00Jennifer,
