Lemons Galore

My theme today is easy to guess especially since my title is Lemons Galore. When I saw the lemon placemats, i loved how bold they were and they were covered with bright yellow lemons that looked ready to jump off the placemats. I knew instantly I wanted to use them but no clue on anything else in the tablescape.

I had yellow Fiesta ware to use and just added some black salad plates plus flatware. Wow, that part was easy and getting closer to done. 

I had the glasses and just stuffed a black napkin inside for fun. I think the one on the right below looks like a black bearded Iris sticking out of the glass but that could be another post.

I bet you spied the yellow Bordallo Pinheiro pitcher already. It was a find one afternoon on a trip by Tuesday Mornings. I think I noticed it because I already had the lemon placemats.

My last task of this tablescape was the centerpiece. I knew it should involve lemons but I didn't know what to do . . . . .put them in a bowl, NO, . . . but what could I do? 

While I was at my daughter's house this week, I went to her basement and saw a possibility. It was a cupcake stand she had used at a recent baby shower. Well, could I put lemons on it just like she put cupcakes? That would be kind of whimsy and I decided to go for it. I placed it on a black dish and added a little topper made from a black bow and hot glued an artificial lemon to it. Some of the lemons are real and some artificial because of the weight they were adding to the stand. I think the real lemons make my tablescape qualify for Cuisine Kathleen's Earth themed tablescape this week. At least I hope so! 

There you have it, all done, and not a lot of work. Seems like it took more thought and planning than work.

Time to Eat: For a salad I am serve a garden salad with a Lebanese Lemon Salad Dressing. My entree will be broiled parmesan-lemon tilapia for something quick and tasty and a few lemon slices to place beside the tilapia. I'll serve Rice Pilaf as an easy side dish to go with the tilapia. Drinks include lemonade from my lemon pitcher or ice tea with fresh squeezed lemon. 


The empty yellow salad plate above will hold the old fashion lemon bread.Other recipes for lemons include lemon scones, lemon bars, lemon pie, and lemon curd.
