* Watchnc comes into the bar carrying several large bags and a fold-away table. She leaves the bags by the bar and quickly sets the table in the middle of the floor. From one of the bags she produces a crisp white cotton cloth that she snaps up and over the table with a single, smooth and impressive move.
She returns to the same bag and removes two elegant pewter candle holders with two extremely long white candles that are already aglow. These she sits in the center of the table. She also places a stack of vintage dishes in shades of tan and soft robin's egg blue along with an array of silverware.
From a second bag she finds a still hot ceramic pot that she promptly sits on the table before removeing the lid.
SLOW-COOKED HOISIN PORK ROAST WITH GREEN ONIONS with garlic, chilies, and sweet-spicy seasoning.
She then removes another equally hot ceramic pot and sits it next to the first.
FIVE-SPICE SWEET POTATO PUREE with a blend of cinnamon, cloves, fennel, star anise and pepper.
From another bag she brings two Large terra-cotta bowls and sits one on each end of the table.
LEMON-GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS in one, and
MIXED GREENS WITH PECANS, GOAT CHEESE, AND DRIED CRANBERRIES
in the other.
She also finds in this bag a huge platter spread with BOSC and BARLETT, ANJOU pears, MEDJOOL dates, OVEN-ROASTED RED GRAPES...a pungent GORGONZOLA, MANCHEGO cheese, warmed WALNUTS with a drizzle of WILDFLOWER HONEY and A BASKET OF BASIL, PARMEASAN, AND TOMATO & HERB BREAD.
From the final bag she removes a RUSTIC APPLE TART WITH HONEY, DATES, AND NUTS AND A CHOCOLATE CURLED TOPPED MOUSSE CAKE WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE sitting on delicate, crystal cut towers that she sits at the end of the table along with three bottles of and AUSTRALIAN MERLOT AND A NEW ZEALAND SAUVIGNON BLANC each.
Watchnc then carefully folds all of the discarded bags and slides them under her arm and yells...
DINNER IS SERVED!!!
She blows a kiss and then promptly leaves.
