Summary
After years of no plates, not enough plates and just enough plates - you suddenly have access to many plates and pretty plates. What's a hostess of fashion to do? Obviously - upend the way food is served. Obviously if you have access to more artificial light - you can make meals longer. Especially on dark, chilly, wet nights when no one wants to be outside anyway. Luckily - cookbooks are up to the challenge. With all sorts of ideas of how to roll out this new style of multi-course dining. So come check out the complications. And if you are interested in seeing what American pottery looked like - pre-China and pre-imported porcelain - look at the Workshop of the Poor Potter in Historic Yorktown!
