I’m greatful for my mom teaching me (often indirectly) the gift of hospitality. I had my husband’s family over for dinner tonight and neither sis-in-law either offered to help clean up or thanked us for hosting. While I wasn’t surprised about their lack of manners, I was surprised how little it bothered me. I didn’t have the dinner for me, I did it for my mother-in-law. She’s is always very grateful and happy when everyone gets together.

If I’m not serving a meal family style I feel almost uncomfortable and just not right. That’s not saying that I serve family style meals every night. But w weird schedules lately I find myself eating something quick standing at the counter while my kids are eating their dinner. Not my ideal.

My favorite meals are family style. It’s how I grew up at the table, and you are right, it’s comfort.

What a wonderful view from your father’s home… Dear ladies living in America, please notice and cherish the beautiful open spaces, mountains and lakes you have over there, us in European cities are jealous of those things ;))

Love the stemware in your table picture. Do you know what they are and the source?

From early in our marriage (which was 23 years ago), we decided dinner would be at the table, with everyone whenever possible. It is my favorite time of the day. Now, with only our youngest home at dinnertime, the three of us still remain around the table. Priceless.
