Place Card Holder

The simplest solution to an everyday problem is often right in front of you.  While I have had this idea for some time, it was only yesterday that I was actually able to get my hands on these shiny cubes designed for displaying place cards.

Of course place cards are the last thing we plan to use these for. As you can see, they are perfect for serving our beautiful and extremely delicate crisps. In the photo is a zucchini, one of many in our culinary arsenal.

There is no doubt that other uses will evolve. For tonight we are perfectly content with the simple beauty of silver and green. Now if only we had a bowl full of crispy morels atop a mound of fresh pasta simply dressed with butter, pepper, and a dollop of fresh ricotta to go alongside it.
