A lot of people are curious as to what we use daily or to entertain. Here are some of the things I use here at my house. Depending on the crowd and the event dictate what gets used here, Everyday it's usually Fiesta in fun colors. Some more formal events, small crowds might be any of the Lenox that's used here. Holidays are fun, as there are lots of Christmas dishes used especially when my family brings their children here. I've also used a lot of Halloween things for fun Monster Mash bashes etc. But sometimes it's just paper plates and plastic ware. I really don't mind washing things it's not a problem it's fun to use things ,not to show off, but to use them and enjoy them with people who appreciate . So, here is a little array of the things used here.

My late mother loved using all these things as we used to
Entertain large groups of family and friends. Now, it's my turn. Family friends vacuum meets you never know what kind of dishware is going to be used. The nice thing is with washing dishes in the dishwasher, you don't have bags of smelly dishes to put out on the curb not a problem here. I hope you enjoyed some of the things here used at the palace... again a name I never gave the place, but others have.

I have a lot of melamine plates
that LOOK like paper plates. right into the dishwasher they go! It really cuts down on waste............. helping the planet, a little bit at a time
Once, a 'friend' thought the whole place was "over the top". So, to not make him feel uncomfortable, his lunch was a hoagie, with a bag of chips, on a (very nice) paper towel. His response was, "Touche". Michael Turner, you were so right. If you were here at my house , (you were always welcome), you'd be rolling on the floor...... in the good way. | ||

Of course, some china can be put in the dishwasher. But, I opt not to. As my mom would say about handwashing, "It won't hurt you". So, yes, mini meets usually are everyday dishware. I entertained large groups of teachers, fellow dancers, musicians, etc. They love to sit a a nicely set table. One retired dancer said, "I love coming here. The food is great, and, it's nice to be waited on, buy a man." For those who would never appreciate it, why would I bother? I remember Bill Wood's 1st time here. I cooked on the grill, including bacon. It was all summer-casual. He loved it. I even made malts in old-fashioned malt shop glasses..... right into the Kitchenaid afterwards. It took a long time to acquire these things. I enjoy using them. And, my guests enjoy them, too. Critics will never be here, so, it really doesn't matter. The point of entertaining friends and family is to make everyone feel good, share a nice meal, etc. Right? This post was last edited 07/12/2022 at 10:57 | ||

My mother collects Fiesta. I recently found a good buy on some at an estate sale here in Tulsa. Also, antique malls are a good place to look as well. I didn't notice the dishes when I was at your house with all the appliances and vacuums sitting out.

Although enjoying an elegant meal using beautiful things,
There is nothing like enjoying a fun, casual gathering w/ friends.
I had a very elegant Christmas party.. 10 people. An art teacher looked at the salad fork AND the dinner fork, confused. I quietly told her to "work toward the plate". The soup spoon and the coffee spoon nearly sent her into orbit. Lesson: know your audience. | ||
