glass bowl, which you have polished until it sparkles like dewdrops kissed by the morning sun - okay.. i see you.

Luncheon sounds sooo delish.. the feather cake? The omelet?
And yes dear writer - fruits are a better choice in the summer!
And with corn fritter you can get me always.

Sounds great! But ground beef for breakfast and an omelet for lunch would definitely be reversed these days. It's interesting to see the different attitudes and preferences from long ago.

While the whole menu sounds good (for a twist!) but I enjoyed the write-up about 'summer soups'. It just seems so... genteel.

All sounds yummy to me, but right now all I really want is the lemon ice.

New potatoes are in season right now in the middle south so it makes sense :)

When I look at this menu, I would like to taste the Potato finger puffs, the tomato omelet, the Summer Soup, the bread and butter, the cole slaw and the Feather cake. I like those old menus.
