Arcopal’s French Hen pattern reminds me of The 12 Days of Christmas, so I made it the starting point for my Christmas dinner tableware this year. I haven’t had a chance to use my Arcopal casserole dish since finding it last year, so I’m excited to finally put it to work. I’ll combine it with some red and green Pyrex to round out the Christmas motif.
I’m also using some Corning Ware petite pans to make individual bread puddings for dessert. They don’t match, but they’ll allow me to prep the puddings a day in advance and then go directly from refrigerator to oven for baking — so hey, function over form!
The only thing I’m missing is a vintage platter for my Cornish hens. I’m going to have to start looking for one on my thrifting adventures.
Tentative menu:
- Roasted Cornish Game Hens with Lemon and Herbs (recipe)
- Barley and Herb Pilaf
- Mashed Potatoes
- Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- Salad
- Mini Bourbon Bread Puddings (recipe)
