I made a butternut squash soup that had coconut milk in it, I will admit it was very good but very rich.
The next time I make it I am going to use goat's milk though.
We had guests and I did a "Formal" dinner that night with four of us, it was great but I had the Coup in a tureen, then took those dishes away and served a Caesar Salad, then took those dishes away and served the main course with a vegetable, then those dishes went away and I served dessert on dessert saucers with fancy dessert glasses and frou frou dessert with a sprig of mint on top, those dishes were cleared and I served fresh hot coffee and tea with milk, lemon, honey, all in clear glass cups with saucers.
aaannnnddd..........every dish I used was "Corelle" except for the dessert glasses those were actually stemmed water glasses and the glass coffee cups and saucers....LMAO
Why do some insist on painting over perfectly beautiful wood. Beautiful wood does not scream to be painted.
This is a rhetorical question for the most part.
Sea, it really was very nice and if I remember correctly I did that on Easter Sunday this year.
It was a very nice change from our normal steaks, boiled potatoes or meatloaf or pot roast for Sunday supper when we have guests.
Actually, I also had a cheese and cracker plate set out before I started serving our meal.

I like bare wood, too (lol).
I forgot to say that I love mint, too. My favorite Thai salad I'm always ranting about has mint in it, and I make my own version at home a lot, too.
I think I made sugar free banana cream pudding for Mr. CSD and our guests but I had regular vanilla, they are diabetic and I am not.
Anyway, I put whipped topping in the bottom of the glass, slices of fresh banana, the pudding, more slices of banana, whipped topping, a couple more slices of banana and a sprig of mint.
It really was quite lovely and just made the day a wee bit more special for us and our guests.
I even had a center piece on the table before I started serving our meal.
Tonight it's meat sauce pasta and low carb spaghetti.... Mrs. Chow is gonna pass on that and have some French bread pizza.
Short sweet and simple.
Nice
I tried gluten free spaghetti once. Ick.

It tastes good with some layers of Vanilla Wafers, in between the pudding & bananas layers, too.
