Italian food is tricky for me to eat in restaurants but I make a good lasagna at home and just might need to make one in April!<br /><br />Decanting wines definitely makes a big difference. I don't have a decanter but hopefully when I move, I will have a bigger kitchen and more kitchen space. If that is the case, I will maybe ask for one for Christmas!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-82935137131619301672014-03-31T15:34:32.410-04:002014-03-31T15:34:32.410-04:00Wow! all looks so fabulous.

Combined with the other images it's a perfect introduction to your blog!Roses, Lace and Brocantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821168025062104166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-27595175738436765562014-03-30T20:14:18.562-04:002014-03-30T20:14:18.562-04:00Oh dear, I just had dinner, and I still am salivat...Oh dear, I just had dinner, and I still am salivating over your party! Of course, it isn't just the food,but the lovely center pieces, the rose you're holding with your name card, the map of Italy, and the wonderful name of your group: the Cork Poppers. Love it! <br /><br />You have been so sweet to visit me and leave such lovely comments. I'll try to do as good a job. xoBellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-74285206467823035122014-03-30T19:42:40.951-04:002014-03-30T19:42:40.951-04:00Now you've got me hungry!

(Although, I love me some Cava too ;o) So many YUM nibbles... hard to save room for dinner...LOL! A Pinot Grigio is alway good to have around the house for good white with meals, I think. That's funny what your friend Bard said about her red, "I'm not crazy about the wine, but I'll have a little more." haha... We should decant more often, plan for that. We cook something good, and then decide--WINE! LOL...And I just love your wine parties--how you all go all out with tablescapes and just making it all a beautiful experience. Oh, and more great food... the lasagna... *swoon*... I wish I didn't live so far away! ;o) Happy Weekend, Jeanie ((HUGS))Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-20701103940905385692014-03-29T13:54:59.411-04:002014-03-29T13:54:59.411-04:00Thank God I've already got
