Well, once again, we are dining with the All American Supper Club members featuring the theme of the All American menu.
Therefore, let’s not delay in bringing a little 250th Year USA Spirt to today’s blog. Our very special meal highlights the USA’s long history.
Let the holiday festivities begin here.
All American Table Setting
In the summer, sitting at the outdoor patio is great for enjoying the nice day. It is set up with red, white and blue American flag dishes with white cloth napkins. Each setting includes two clear glasses. A bright red, bone white and blue fresh flower arrangement is in the center of the table. Underneath each dish setting is a red, white and blue star shaped placemat.

Ending Notes on All American Supper Club Blog
The Supper Club wanted to include the below photograph of their members. It is only rarely we use personal photographs, but this group has great smiles and I think cheerful attitudes, so it is being published.
It is good friends getting together for a good meal with, of course, tasty recipes.
A Sincere Thank You, to the fun-loving Supper Club Members, for allowing me to tag along on their great epicurean adventures.
I can hardly wait to see what theme they will come up with next time!
But there is more – 250 USA Flag Gift!
This evening’s host gifted the Supper Club Members with a commemorative garden flag to mark the USA’s 250th Birthday.
And, also, HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY USA!
