Lunch on the Porch

The fall weather here in Eastern New Mexico is just gorgeous.    

I thought it would be nice for us to have our lunch  on the front porch.

   I have the table set with fun chili pepper plates on white ironstone chargers.     The centerpiece is just a simple bundle of wheat.

We are having grilled pimento cheese sandwiches and potato salad.      I added some home grown mild chili's to give my grilled cheese sandwich a southwest flavor.

H picked the chili's from our garden this morning and roasted them in the oven.    

The pimento cheese was left over from our lunch yesterday,  so I thought the addition of the green chili's and grilling  would make it not seem so "left over"

This is the entrance to the front porch where we are having lunch.  

  I had picked up some dried corn stalks from a local farm and tied the bundles around the columns.    

I plan to make a wreath with some of the dried corn cobs that were  still left on the stalks.


Yummy.......

Til next time!

  6. Love those Corn Stalks!! We used to put them around our pillars but when we got the new vinyl pillars and had to pay what we paid for 16 foot pillars, Joe said no more stalks tied to the pillars so we have not had them in years......
    I did scale back my outdoor decorating this year to mostly Fall and donated some things to our church Flea Market.....
    The food looks Delicious!!
    Hugs,
    Debn

  16. How lovely! In our area, as soon as you bring out food in the fall, the hornets are all around. You must not have that trouble. When the weather is the nicest, you can't eat outside! Ugh!

  17. Penny, you have it all looking so pretty. I love the stalks, we used to do that, I guess we stopped when our daughter got older. You food looks so yummy, it's 5:14 am my time and that would be so good for breakfast!
