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. |
