~ironstone and chocolate birds nests~


Happy Friday My Fine Feathered Friends

CC and I made Chocolate Birds Nests badly yesterday.
 I will not be sharing the recipe.



I ran across these six Homer Laughlin China platters at our Catholic thrift store.
 I love them.
I cannot lift them. 
But I love them.


Next time I melt chocolate in a double boiler I will slow down and let the water simmer. 
I have a need for speed.
It must come from working in that fast paced hospital.

Have a terrific weekend.

joy and peace and good chocolate

  4. What a frustrating time you've been having! Looks like you are all sorted out? You so deserve those wonderful platters. Your nests are cute. Hope your shoulder improves soon. Those injuries can last such a long time.

  9. I've been melting chocolate in the microwave lately...it always goes quickly and no worries about steam getting into it and having it seize.!

    I bet they taste good.

  17. Don't think they look bad at all! And if I can post about bacon balls... I think adding a recipe would have been fine! Happy Weekend:@)

  18. I know what you were going for, but did they at least taste good? Ha! You get an A for effort though. I have some plates that are heavy like that. By the time you put your food on there, you fear you might drop it!

  20. "She" always says doesn't matter what it looks like, it's how it tastes! As for the plates....yep, "she" loves those too. Me? Well I'm wondering why there is no snacks on there for Clovis and I......
