The deep, lidded tureen has been a Sunday-table staple since at least the 1700s, keeping soups and gravies warm while guests settle into their seats.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
GOBLET
Water goblets were often part of a matched crystal set, reserved for company — the same set that could pass from one generation to the next still holding its sparkle.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
LINEN
True linen tablecloths come from the flax plant; the fabric softens and brightens with every wash, which is why a well-worn Sunday cloth could feel more luxurious than a brand-new one.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

About Food & Home

Sunday dinner had its own ceremony: the tablecloth smoothed to perfect corners, the china lifted gently from the cabinet it lived in all week, and the silverware laid out in its proper order as if the meal itself demanded respect. A low centerpiece of cut roses or a single candle softened the light and made even an ordinary afternoon feel like an occasion. Every detail — the folded napkin, the filled water goblet, the gravy boat waiting at the ready — told everyone who sat down that they were worth the trouble.

How to play
