This is the kind of food she often made and it looked just like this. <br /><br />It also reminds me of the tea rooms in two of our "nice" department stores. <br /><br />L. S. Ayres was famous for their tea rooms and the other was locally known. This was also the kind of "ladies lunch" they served there. <br /><br />Both tea rooms were still open when my daughter was a baby but closed soon after when more and more women went into the workforce.Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-59839106260630530722009-04-29T08:43:00.000-05:002009-04-29T08:43:00.000-05:00Merideth,

And as far as I know you don't have to order a ton of them. You can just order as many packages as you want. Sam's sells a TON of stuff that they don't necessarily have in their store. Sam's Clubs sometimes have catalogs available that you can grab to look at, or you can see everything online. They might have some containers that would even give you more presentation options than these! And, as usual, your presentation and food looks lovely!!<br /> SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03794795142708229053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-36995613379742402502009-04-28T12:38:00.000-05:002009-04-28T12:38:00.000-05:00Looks delish!

The Sam's club here does sell the clear clam shell containers. They also sell the white foam ones too. (I agree the clear ones look better for presentation. Our Sam's club sell a container that is black on the bottom and clear on the top. It is an oval shape and does not have dividers.<br />The restaurant supply stores are great too. I go to several around here often. I enjoy looking at the different things they have for sale and I have brought a lot of things for the day care.
