cuatro plates

The meals we had on my recent vacation were quite divine. And the presentation of the food was just as extraordinary. Curiosity got the best of me one evening, and I turned over the empty plate to see where it came from. To my surprise, it was CB2! I know these platters were part of the ensemble, though I couldn't find every piece I spotted on their website (probably means they were discontinued). The Cuatro plates are now officially on my wish list! Starting at $1.95 for the small size, I don't think I'd feel too guilty about the purchase.

sunday supper club

We had our supper club over last Sunday evening, for a change of pace (we usually get together on Saturdays). Though some were concerned that the mood would be dampened by a 'school night' gathering, it turned out to be a lovely way to start a week. Do you ever have Sunday get-togethers? 

I fondly remember Sunday evenings (when I lived in NYC), with girlfriends, huddled around the TV watching the latest Sex and the City.

tiny kitchen entertaining


Domino offers tips on how to entertain with a tiny apartment kitchen here. Personally, when I lived in NYC the thought of having people over was very unappealing...all because we had no dishwasher (and two roommates who hated doing dishes). The glasses would sit there for weeks while we all had a standoff as to who had to actually do them!
