My hosts, Becky and Charles, lived in Japan for four years. They brought back not only wonderful souvenirs of their experience, but also many objects that surround them and recreate a special atmosphere in their Montclair home.For our special Friday 15 dinner, we set the table using a white Damascus tablecloth, and we laid an Obi that Becky brought from Japan as a runner. The chinaware that Becky chose (we hesitated between her family Limoges with tender green flowers and the simpler white plates with a Bordeaux rim) matched perfectly well the colors of the obi.
Becky made a delightful bouquet of tea color roses - though she took in Japan ikebana classes, she settled for a round shaped bouquet.
In the menu: Broccoli flans, pork tenderloin a la moutarde de Dijon, onions compote, and pears in red wine. We had a red Saumur Champigny wine with this meal.
What a delightful evening!
