Hello sweet friends!
I know I mentioned before that my mother comes for lunch and to spend the day with us every Wednesday, therefore, tomorrow is Wednesday... and we will be having trout for lunch, as we have bigger lunches around here, rather than a heavier dinner. Nights are cold so we usually prefer soup and that's all.
There are great trout growing here in Cuenca; all the varieties, but our favorite is the one called "salmon trout" because it's pink like salmon.
Lots of people like to go 'sport fishing' at the lakes in a beautiful national park called "Cajas"where they grow them. I remember when my DD Sofia and her family lived here they often went fishing there and it was fun.
I have a setting for our 'trout lunch' tomorrow and I will accompany it with salad, rice and corn and soup as the antree.
Here is my table for the 'Trout-Lunch.'
 |
| Last Saturday I bought the salad bowl, the small bowls and the blue S&P shakers in the form of little fish, at my fav home store for the after C'mas sale they always hold in January. I loved them as I already had the fish salad plates. They were at a great price, $22.50 for all the pieces! |
 |
 |
| I arranged fresh flowers with lots of yellow in my Portuguese white pitcher Alejandro bought for me on a visit to my daughter Sofia. |
 |
 |
| I love the salad plates at your left and the new bowls with a fish in it. I used all white dinner plates paired with pewter chargers. |
 |
| The big salad bowl at your right. |
 |
| We will have soup in the bowls first, as an entree, since mother loves soup! |
 |
 |
 |
| My house doesn't look Christmasy anymore...yupii! (I'm exausted from putting it away, though!) |
 |
| A blue combo of French, German and English elements, on top of a pretty Ecuadorian hand made tray linen. The teaset is also ready for tea and dessert for after lunch. |
 |
| Little fish S&P shakers for $2,50 on sale. The amber stems are Italian. |

Fabby- What a GORGEOUS table...starting with the floral arrangement (which I absolutely LOVE) right down to the new pieces you bought. Unbelievable prices on those! Your Mother should feel like royalty sitting at that table.
ReplyDeleteHey- not only are you cute you can cook, too!;>) Love ya- Diana
Hi lovely lady.

Your new fish dishes are really sweet, Fabby. I like the pastel fish on them. I also like the red and white table linens. It is a really pretty table setting and I'm sure your mother will enjoy her visit and lunch with you. Hugs, Pamela
ReplyDeleteFabby, Have you heard this before, 'Gone Fishin' instead of just a wishin' !!!
ReplyDeleteYour lovely table has a lot of character.
Winter blessings to you,

Hola, Fabby. Feliz año nuevo a ti y tu familia! What a lovely table you've set (as always). This one is particularly sweet--it looks just perfect for a mother! And those fish pieces are soooo cute! Just love them. I wish you a very nice day tomorrow. ~Zuni
ReplyDeleteI had to come look how pretty a table for a trout lunch would look the Fabby way. Fabulous as usual!
ReplyDeleteYour mother is going to be happy with this cheerful setting. The flowers are gorgeous in your new white pitcher. Enjoy your lunch of trout. '-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Fabby,
ReplyDeleteYou always manage to whip up a dream with the most delicious foods and for the eye the most breathtaking table setting!
Love the way your keen eye for styling picked up the subtle colors of the fish china and reflected that into the colors of your fresh flowers! Bravo for that.
Oh, those Fleur-de-Lys on that big white pitcher are gorgeous!
And what is most striking with your blue porcelain, is that hand made Ecuadorian tray linen.
Hats off again!
Hugs,
Mariette
I have never seen a trout lunch set. It looks so fabulous. The tea set is amazing. Fabby, you have such beautiful dishes. Have a good time with your Mother. Blessings to you both, Martha

What a great buy Fabby, that set is perfect! Love eating fish and we make it a point to have it at least 3x a week. I also love the red check tablecloth pattern on your table, perfect! I'm in to blue & white too so I'm jealous with your German set - soooo pretty!

Fabby, this is just so perfect. I love the little dishes to go along with your trout lunch, and all the blue settled around makes me feel very January-ish. Like you, I have all my Christmas stuff put away, and I have to tell you that it just feels GOOD to have a clean house
ReplyDeleteLoved that tea set in the biggest way. The blues are stunning to me.
I am a wee bit envious of your gift of having lunch with your mother every Wednesday. My mother will arrive for her visit here on February 9th, and we will have lots of time together. I'm sure your mother must have smiled when she saw your table - so cheery and bright, with the promise of delicious trout to make the picture complete.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I love that your mom comes for lunch. What a great tradition. I am excited to be featuring your tablescape on Tickled Pink Tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see even more creativity from you :)
You AMAZE me, Fabby! What a wonderful setting for your lunch! What a treat it must be to have lunch or dinner at your house. You are really a gifted hostess--thanks for being such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI saw you featured at Meegan Makes and had to come over. I love those fish dishes! My husband is a fisherman and I think he'd love to eat a meal at your table. And what fantastic prices for them, too!
