When hosting do you usually set a table or do you go less formal with a buffet? how about even when you are not hosting, but at home with your family?
One of my chores as a child was to set the table each evening. I guess that's where my love of setting a pretty table comes from. My mother was a stickler for a proper table setting, even on ordinary weeknights. Because I was accustomed to this practice, I usually almost always continue to set the table every night. I think my mother gave us all a gift by setting an inviting table each night. It slowed us down, made dinner an event. Time to enjoy our food, our surroundings, and the company of each other.
Its these small practices that can bring a bit of pleasure to an ordinary day. :)
