By the time dinner is finished, everyone is a little miffed with me becasue it is 8 pm or 8:30. I just can't seem to get the timing down right.! Do you make dessert the day before, set the table the day before since it is out of the kitchen? I really need suggestions...I try to make it be fun, but everyone is frustrated by the time we sit down and I am sad and disappointed that they are not enjoying it or appreciating it. I KNOW that if I can have it ready on time, that would make all the difference. Any suggestions???? PLEASE HELP!!! LOL<br />You could do a post about it, just for me???? or just email me!<br />thanks! hugs,<br />BetsyMom E. https://www.blogger.com/profile/06506965423277755068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484061334032211360.post-88536287525641344402013-01-11T09:09:12.574-08:002013-01-11T09:09:12.574-08:00Jacqueline,

I have been getting them for a few weeks now. The table is gorgeous and I love the idea of the dinner!!! What a fun evening! We used to have a very large, traditional, 7 course Polish Christmas eve dinner for 20 or more. We would swap out the living and dining room and set up a long table like this too. It was so much fun, but sadly alot of the people who came are now deceased. Thanks for sharing this, it brought back fond memories, Jacqueline. Have a happy, healthy and blessed new year.

Love, love, love it! At the same time, I'm flabbergasted at the logistics of pulling this off. For example, how and where did you find room to cook 15 Cornish hens? Your home is absolutely beautiful. That view out the window is stunning. What an incredible setting to go with such a great dinner concept! Please share more details, like, did you serve bread? What about veggies? Did you provide water bowls to rinse the fingers? If not, how did you keep greasy fingers away from such a marvelous tablecloth? I think I might like to do something like this in the future so any advice will be welcomed.Maria Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261266958816405107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484061334032211360.post-72177724085952433482012-12-29T04:28:56.270-08:002012-12-29T04:28:56.270-08:00Even the most extreme opinions on matters of relig...Even the most extreme opinions on matters of religion, race, and politics can seem charming as long as one presents them with the right sense of panache. <a href="http://www.oneghdhair.com/" rel="nofollow">ghd flat iron</a> I found myself worrying over a lot of things. <a href="http://www.morenorthface.com/" rel="nofollow">north face jackets</a> Later in the evening, singer Marc Anthony was set to take the stage.. <a href="http://www.manyghdhair.com/" rel="nofollow">ghd hair products</a> Having said that, attempting to decide which sort to wear and what things to use them with can be confusing. <a href="http://www.verynorthface.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.verynorthface.com</a> Look in stores as well as on the Internet for bridal sales as well as bargains.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484061334032211360.post-29261738966834560142012-12-28T18:47:37.199-08:002012-12-28T18:47:37.199-08:00Your dinner was so elegant and exciting as well as...Your dinner was so elegant and exciting as well as educational for the children.

SO pretty! The view from the window is just gorgeous, and who wouldn't like dining in front of that beautiful fireplace with that rockin' tree to close at hand??!??! This is a wonderful room to eat in!!! I love the pewter bowls at each place setting. Very chic! The table covering is gorgeous, too!!! The pattern is really striking. I like the way you worked to visually connect the elements of the centerpiece with the greenery. With a table that long, that really is a must! You WOULD think that children in particular would be thrilled to sip their soup from the bowl, but you have taught them too well! :-) This is a gorgeous table, Jacqueline, and I am so happy everyone had a good time! Have a safe and Happy New Year!!!
