My lovely sister got a brand-new kitchen right before Thanksgiving and decided that, starting in January, we would take turns hosting Sunday dinners a la Blueboods. Today was my turn; I made Martha Stewart's mother's meatloaf, salad, Italian bread (Big Y), a macaroni and cheese recipe from Martha's website (my niece has decided to go vegetarian again), and chocolate mousse cake. Since I'm competitive and knew I couldn't top my sister's delicious spread last week, I focused on the table setting - pink and white. The pale pink tablecloth was my paternal (and beloved) grandmother's. I unearthed it while decluttering my mother's dining room and she gave it to me.
Can you believe I've never made meatloaf and mac and cheese? I like to entertain but don't do it often. It was about 60 degees today, unbelievably beautiful.

The china is a bone china set my maternal grandmother bought for me when I was little. Remember when grocery stores would sell sets piece by piece? It's pink and grey and Japanese looking.
The stainless steel cutlery is a rose pattern given by my grand aunt.
They're on Etsy. You can find anything on the internet.
