This is not my typical post, but I wanted to share with you all the following information that I found:
Are you in the need for some new dishes for your home? I am not, but I do love nice dishes. When I got married I actually asked for platters and bowls for my new home because I like to dress a nice table when I have a party.
Today I checked out "Cream Embossed Dinnerware". I never knew what "embossed dinnerware was until tonight. You must check it out to know exactly what I am talking about but I will try my best to describe it. If you ever saw dinnerware and the design was raised so the plate wasn't so flat, that is "embossed". It is very pretty from what I saw. There's even a set of dinnerware with seashells on it. Those are my favorite. Some of the prices are expensive for my wallet these days, but I didn't realize I could find a really nice pattern at my local "Target".
Okay during the summer I like to invite some family and friends to a BBQ at my home a few times during the summer. Usually I would have soda, water, kids drinks, and alcohol all stuffed in a cooler, but today I saw "Galvanized Beverage Tubs". It is the coolest thing to have for an outdoors or even indoors party. They even come with legs so its not sitting on the ground or needing to find table space. I saw one where you could actually personalize it with your family name on the outside of it. The cost was reasonable and anyone could afford it. I am seriously considering one for this summer.
I am sure many of you have noticed that I do not do a lot of desserts in my blog, this is because I am not a big fan of them. One because unlike cooking a savory dish which you can add a little this add a little that, desserts are pretty specific. If you make a cake and don't add the right amounts there usually isn't any saving this dish. I do on the other hand like to make things that can be individual per guest. Such as ice cream or parfaits, etc. "Glass Dessert Dishes" are perfect for these types of desserts. With a glass dish you can layer the desserts with fruit or cake and show off the beautiful layers. It makes your guest think you spent a lot of time on them. I like it when they think I have been working hard in the kitchen for them. Makes them enjoy it that much more.
I hope this bit of information was helpful let me know what you think.

Go Mo! But I still like dessert too! Your idea with the parfait is just the ticket. So many different ways to layer and different fruits/ice cream or whipping cream - or not. lol
ReplyDeleteOh trust me I like the occasional dessert but it is never my main focus of my meal. I can take it or leave it. One of the best parfaits for dessert is with a little raspberry puree at the bottom, some pieces of yellow cake, then chopped strawberries and raspberries, and then whipped cream or rather a lemon curd whipped cream. Okay I need to stop thinking about this I am off of desserts for a while.
