After searching high and low, I finally found the website I've been hunting for. Called Outstanding in the Field, it's a sort of traveling band of chefs and farmers and fartsy-shmartsy people who travel around cooking shit and setting up beautiful place settings like the ones above. This is their mission: "to re-connect diners to the land and the origins of their food, and to honor the local farmers and food artisans who cultivate it."
Sounds great, right? I think it's a really cool idea, but I haven't decided if it's the kind of thing that would attract douche-canoe food snobs who like to sit around and feel good about themselves because they've paid $220 to eat some locally grown chow.
But maybe I'm just bitter. Maybe they're all la-te-da fantastic people who really do like gathering for the common good to celebrate some serious homegrown deliciousness. But anyway, back to my party.
I feel like I need/want to throw some shindig like this and invite tons of cool people and set up a table arrangement that swoops and weaves around some trees where friends and fam can sit and soak up some rays and good conversation while eating scrumptious treats. It can't be that hard, right? I need to start planning this.
Note: obvi, it will include some sort of roasted animal, be it pig, duck, or small child.
Yumyum!

Also, I'll probably serve something that looks like this, especially because it's sporting my absolute favorite color combination: cucumber/pea-soup green and sky blue. Loves it!

.**UPDATE:
Hannah--if I don't get an invitation to that fab dinner party you talked about in your blog, I am seriously going to jump off a bridge (I mean, a really low bridge...one where I'll plummet about ten feet into a river or something and then can swim to the shore...but the intent is there nonetheless and I'll just be really sad to miss your party! I'll bring wine!)
...OBVIOUSLY Alex is invited! Mega no-brainer!!
