"One thing I was so impressed with when I was in France, was the color of the flowers, with the Tulip in particular. We just don't have those kinds of colors in North America, so this is sort of my tribute to beautiful tulips that I saw when I was there in April. So this is a really, really simple arrangement you don't want to go to over the top this is just a casual welcome home lunch but, just a few flowers to decorate the tables is always nice. See this is not really a vase at all, that sits there so if you want to add a couple of leaves find some that aren't damage and put those along, with the tulips see how that looks, sort of depend of which angle you are at, maybe that one was sort of overwhelming for the bunch, that will just sit on our table, to give us a little color and one of the last things you would want to do, it's a little bit of an appetizer to have with a glass of wine, very crusty diet, then I will cut and put along side some Paiute and if you not familiar with that, it's just a meat spread, it's a Paiute coma pa so a country Paiute and I am just going, it's a lot for the two of us, so I am going to kind of slightly smaller slices in the middle, fan out the bread see I am not even using the other dishes or any thing but, somehow, some kind of arrange your food to make the dishes look impressive and slide a little bit of Paiute con pane to serve with a little spreader and these are the last things we need, get set for our French bistro lunch."
