The color green has been on The Extraordinaire's mind a lot lately. Yes, it was recently St. Patrick's Day in all its glory; the world is also in a financial crisis that threatens to trickle down to yours truly as well as others in her circle; global warming continues to make the news too. However, what has taken her mind off of these pressing issues is her recent foray into Martha Stewart-ship and a dinner party given for an out of town friend to celebrate a recent engagement.
Never mind about the food, the table looked FANTASTIC!
Green tablecloth, green Bordallo Pinheiro pottery from Portugal with silver chargers, and a grapevine hanging from the chandelier.
There's a commercial out there where a woman whose Southern accent is thicker than even that of The Extraordinaire's mother (and that's pretty darn Southern) who remarks "I can't cook, but I sure can set a cute table." Fortunately for the guests, the cooking that night was pretty good, but for once there was a feast for the eyes.
Yes this is bragging, but, well, sometimes you've just got to show off and with my track record, this may be the only time such a thing is worthy of sharing!

Who is the Informatician Extraordinaire?
- Jennifer J.
- Like many in my field, I spent waaay too long in graduate school and spent another eternity scrambling to find a job. Lucky for me the state's payroll and benefits are enough to sustain life, at least at a minimum, in the capital city. As I'm now a mother, most of my time, effort, and money are focused on my daughter. Anything leftover gets poured into 1) bath products, 2) obscure early classical music CDs, 3) period costume reproductions (yeah, I know) and 4) you guessed it, books.
