One of the most difficult things about setting a table is coming up with the centerpiece. Sometimes you want to invite people at the last minute, have an
attractive table to go with your nice meal or your coffee and dessert, and, with
no time to run out for flowers, you're struggling to find a centerpiece.
For this reason it's important to have a nice container that you
can grab at the last minute. This container can be anything whether
it's a wooden dough bowl like I've used here, a basket, silver tray, or any
favorite piece that you happen to have on hand.
Place it in the center of the table, take a careful assessing
look around your house, and fill it with something that you already have.
Finding myself in similar circumstances, last week I put a
couple of mangoes in my bowl, this week I am serving a number of different
breads, muffins, and bagels for a brunch, and I've chosen to use that as my
centerpiece. Surprisingly, it's quite dramatic to see all the breads in front
of you at once. It also makes it easy for people to take what they want without
having to ask to have something passed to them.
Keep this in mind for your next brunch, luncheon, or dinner
party. With each passing day we're getting closer and closer to the holiday
season of dinners, lunches, chili suppers, and holiday parties, so give
this idea some consideration.
