Goodbye 2010

We had a fun filled year with lots of great food.
2011 will be even more of a challenge to come up with new and exciting cuisines from around the world.
Ready or not... here we go!

Hosted by Robert & Gabriella

Spectacularly Decorated Home

The 8 Plates Group would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy and Healthy New Year.
True Friends are like Diamonds, Precious and rare.
False Friends are like Autumn leaves found everywhere.
This was from a plate that my Grandmother had when I was a young boy.
