Thanksgiving Dinner Table & New Finds (pics)
Comments (30)Thank you for your kind words! I like you all very much and admire your own talents in decorating, so it means a lot to know that my own efforts look good to you. OA, I'm really incredibly touched that you think my home looks very welcoming. This has always been my main goal and I'm happy that it shows. A place that's a showplace but unwelcoming and not warm is a house, not a home in my mind. Here's a pic I took recently of my living room. It was heading towards dusk, so it's not the greatest picture. I'm also including one of the table's edge, too. Jeanne, it's so nice to "meet" you! I love your turkey in a cage. What a fun idea! It looks to be the same one that Jane has this year. Lynn...See Morehow do you serve crackers?
Comments (10)I love to pick up odd sized decorative plates at Marshalls/Homegoods and I think they're perfect for crackers, I'm not a basket person either :-) I did recently find a stainless or chrome wire basket that I thought was nice (at Marshalls of course) and I use it with a cloth napkin for bread at the table, but I'd use it for crackers for a larger group. I also like a wire basket lined with wax/butcher paper - they do this in a restaurant I go to and I keep forgetting to buy the right kind of paper - its not regular cut-rite wax paper but stiffer. I also use a pretty Japanese soup bowl for crackers sometimes, it doesn't hold too many but its perfect for the 2 of us....See MoreDinner is served

Comments (10)Made this years ago. It was called Broken Glass Torte. I don't know where my recipe is right now, but I found this on the internet. It was always a pretty dish. I remember I just put the jello in pie plates or cake pans and set them in the refrigerator and made squares helter skelter with a knife after it was hardened and lifted them up with a spatula. I think I used more than 3 jellos. You want to consider what flavors you are putting together. BROKEN GLASS TORTE (JELLO) NIGHT BEFORE: Take 3 ice cube trays, pour 3 different kinds of Jello. Dissolve Jello with 1 1/2 cups boiling water, let set. Soften 1 package plain gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water. Dissolve this with 1 cup of hot pineapple juice. Allow mixture to be cooling while you prepare following: Make sure this is cool. Into 2 cups heavy cream, beat together 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Fold gelatin mixture (make sure it is cool), into whipped cream. Cut Jello into 1/2 inch cubes, gently fold into gelatin whipped mixture. CRUST: Two dozen graham cracker squares, rolled and 1/2 cup softened butter (need not melt), at room temperature. Graham crackers should be rolled fine with rolling pin. Add 1/2 cup sugar and mix with fork. Pack 2/3 of this mix into bottom of an angel cake pan. Fill center with gelatin mix, sprinkle 1/3 crumbs on top of mix. Refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours. For a crispier graham crust, bake in oven for a couple of minutes....See Moreschoolhouse_gwagain
