Le Chat is not so happy, she knows she is not getting any of our celebratory food! All of which is from Julia Child, Mastering The Art of French Cooking, Volume One (1) (Fortieth - 40th - Anniversary Edition) (Vol 1)
The white plates are from Portugal. The red are Johnson Brothers that I found at TJMaxx. The blue are W. A. Adams blue willow.
The blue and red bowls were removed for the onion soup and entree service.
They were returned for the dessert of fresh berries, chambord, freshly whipped cream and a sprig of mint. I wish I could say that was the mint from my garden, although there is a lot of it, it isn't especially fragrant. I prefer my dessert implement, fork, spoon or both, at the top of the plate as Amy Vanderbilt. My mother is a Post girl, but I was always an Amy fan.

Tres beau! I have the original version of Julia's Art of French Cooking. It belonged to my mother-in-law and has been passed down to me.
