Celebration Dinner...

Hello everyone.. 

Hope you are all doing well... 

Just wanted to post some pics of our 44th Wedding Anniversary dinner as requested.. smile.. 

The first photo is what it looked like here in Maritime Canada on our anniversary day..  

These are the pics of the table..

Do you like the candle holders?

I bought these in Pa. a couple of years ago to sell in the shop. 

Someone came in and bought quite a few and told me that this is what she planned to do with them.. 

Needless to say I saved the rest for home here.. 

For a little centrepiece I took an old milk pitcher and put in a stem of hydrangea and put a little pip berry wreath on top.. 

We had a Caesar Salad first with homemade dressing... 

1/2 cup of mayo 

1/4 cup of milk

1/4 cup of Parmesan 

1/2 - 1 tsp. anchovy paste 

1 clove of garlic, chopped and smashed

squeeze of lemon 

pinch of red pepper flakes (opt.)

salt and pepper to taste

Whisk together well and let sit for flavors to blend for a bit.. 

This is just a top of the head recipe I use.. 

You may want to add more or less of some of the ingredients.. 

And then we had Seafood Pasta for the main dish.. 

I had thought we would have some garlic bread but decided we didn't need it.. 

I made a dessert but we passed on that, too.. 

Our drink was Mountain Dew.. smile.. 

Next week we hope to go to a special place for our Celebration Dinner..  

Well, girls that is all for tonight.. 

We had Keepers of the Home today so I will try and post about it at the first of the week.. 

It was a great day.. 

Thanks so much for all of your kind wishes .. 

We appreciate them so much.. 

There was even a special phone call from our sweet friends the Mayo Family in Wisconsin.. 

Their blog is HERE..

Thanks so much for calling, Lori.. 

It made my day.. 

Tomorrow is the Lord's Day and we are having potluck after church so I need to go and make a dish.. 

They are calling for bad weather once again so we are praying that it will hold off.. 

Take care, dear hearts...
