as much as i long to be a lady who lunches, i am not (*sigh*)
but i do enjoy a nice lunch out!
some of my earliest memories are of my mother and grandmother dressing me up and taking me out to lunch at a nice hotel or a ladies' tea room.
as i grew older and would come home from college, my mother always enjoyed meeting me for lunch at a quaint luncheon spot around the town square.
the menu was pretty much the same....
we always start with an iced fruit tea
followed by a chicken salad on a croissant
and some sort of fruity ice-box pie for dessert.
yum!
i wish we could escape right now!
(but i'll have to settle for my salad i made in the corporate cafeteria)

Mmm... you're making me hungry! I too enjoy 'lunching'. Of course, the true 'ladies who lunch' never actually eat anything ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice memory of lunches with your Mother and Grandmother!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that lunch looks soooooo yummy! Now I feel the need to go out for lunch lol!
ReplyDeleteI too have a great desire to be a "lady who lunches"! Oh how nice it would be to sit down and have a civililzed meal. Instead I am a Lady who makes chicken nuggets with a side of grapes nearly everyday for lunch for the kids! What a great tradition with your Mother and Grandmother, one I know you will pass down to your little lady!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous tradition! Chicken salad on a croissant is my absolute favorite!!
