Poor Ali, can never do anything to the exact liking of the hag...Festive hosting she announces and proceeds to show us the most underwhelming "festive" tablescrape ever, just like all the table settings she does. They are all the same, summer, winter : a rough-hewn wonky table, set with no linens, mismatched, ineffectively paired crockery, and adorned with sparse woodsy bits around a candle. And, man, the design of those white ceramic plates...Could they be less suitable for serving food in? They look like the dogs barfed something white in them.
P.S. Her English ...She explains to her viewers the "mixture" of ceramics in case we didn't notice. Lid dear, you would be hard pressed to get a "mixture" unless you hurled the dishes into a blender and pulverized them. What you have so unsuccessfully done is a sorry C O M B I N A T I O N of non- matching dishes. Yay.
