Menus

At formal events, I set make framed 5x7 menus of the courses being served that evening on the tables. Why not do the same for more intimate gatherings? Here is what I'm serving tomorrow night:

Hors d'ouvres
French Baguette and Assorted Cheeses

First Course
Butternut Squash Soup with Ginger Shrimp

Second Course
Ribboned Zucchini and Mixed Green Salad

Entree
Baked Salmon with Red Wine Reduction Sauce
Green Beans with Lemon Dijon Butter

Dessert
Chocolate Fondue with Pears


Simple frames and stationery with an elegant yet legible script font such as Sheer Beauty provide a sophisticated table decoration while still allowing the menu to speak for itself. Bon Appetit!
