FABBY: September Rosary Gathering


Hello sweet friends!

    It's incredible for me to realize we are at the end of September and October is just around the corner.

As most of you know I host a Rosary prayer at my house the last Wednesday of every month and before I can start planning is the the fourth Wednesday of  another month...the days and months just fly away in front of our eyes and before we realize it, it'll be C'mas season 2014!

Anyway, so much for that rhetoric about time. 

I've set two tables this time because we were fifteen. I sat nine in the big dining table and six in the breakfast table.

Ok, here they are...oh and yes; you are all welcomed to request special prayers, and it doesn't matter your religion, our Lord always listens!


Onion dishes in lbue and white. Hutschenreuther platter for cookies.
Dutch Delft blue and white centerpiece vase with small pumpkins and gourds.

Crocheted white tablecloth a heirloom from Alejandro's grandmother.

Harvest Pumpkin Chocolate Cake.
The recipe is at the end of this post, if you wish...it's great!


Bread buns to eat with cheese and home made jams.


The other side of the Dutch Delft arrangement with gourds.






The recipe is at the end of the post, if anyone wants it. I
 suggest you try it my friends, as it is yummy! There was not a 'crumb' left in the plates!

German teapot.

Vintage Chinese dishes. Lace beige table spread I bought last year on sale with a 50% off.

Later I served in the glass 'lazy-susan' cookies, a basket of buns, cheese and the home made jams you see here...and of course, Pumpkin cake.

This is a vintage Chinese set of dishes, besides the fact I have them for at least 30 years!
The teacups are so thin and you can see through them; hubby says they are called, 'onion skin porcelain.'

The pretty dish with small flowers is Minton and it was my Mil's... where I served some cookies later.


The gords are only to give it a Fall touch for the pic, lol..


The water station, as the ladies always require some water after tea time. The day was warm here today too.

Pumpkin Chocolate Harvest Cake
2/3 cups softened butter, (not margarine)
2 cups sugar
1 whole egg
2 egg whites
2 1/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 (15 oz.) can solid-pack pumpkin
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoon water

Heat oven to 350F.  Grease and flower pan; set aside. In large bowl of K. Aid, or whatever you have..beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg and egg whites; mix until well blended. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin and 1/2 cup water; mix on low speed until blended, scraping bowl often. Increase speed to medium, and beat 2 minutes. 
Remove 3/4 cup of the batter and put in a small bowl. Spoon reserved batter into prepared pan.  
To reserved batter, add cocoa and 1 tablespoon water; stir to combine. Place spoonfuls of chocolate batter  on top of batter in pan. Using a knife, swirl chocolate batter, into pumpkin batter to marble. 

Bake 40 to 47 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan; remove from pan and cool completely.


Thank you so much for your visits sweet ladies, as you always make my day!

Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties.

LOVE,
FABBY
