Summertime platters

You don’t want something made of tacky Walmart plastic.
You don’t want something made of metal.
You don’t want something formal.

You want something light and classy and inexpensive and stylish.

Summmer platters that serve us well:

Cb2 offers these fairly inexpensive shallow, ceramic, oblong serving trays that are big enough for big parties and small enough for a dinner on the veranda. We own two of the largest and two of the mediums and love them to pieces.
(Veranda! I said VERANDA!)

This bamboo tray from Pearl River makes a few choice appetizers look like you’ve worked on them all day — even if it’s an apple with peanut butter on it. Plus it won’t break on the way out to the lanai.*
(Lanai! I said LANAI!)
*Thanks Alison for the gentle correction!

My final favorite are the real life cafeteria trays from our youth. Food friendly, kitchy and utterly indestructable, guests can pile up their food and take it to their seat. It’s a great alternative when your kitchen table isn’t big enough to serve all the folks lined up for your delicious cooking.

Veranda and lanai* were pretty much my only two fancy porch synonyms.
If you have any more, I’ll send you the best vibes.

*Again, thanks Alison.
