February 23 has long been a special holiday for women, when almost each of them needs to figure out how to congratulate their defenders. In most cases, the result of these reflections is a rich festive table filled with delicious dishes.
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, before you put cooked treats on the table, this table must be set beautifully and festively. Lay out a colored or white tablecloth, depending on which guests you are going to invite. If only close friends come, you can show off the original colors, and if the celebration is planned from an official perspective, use a white tablecloth.
Step 2
Place coasters under each plate, and decorate them in a festive style - use napkins with the emblem of February 23rd or plastic coasters in military colors. Also decorate every place where future guests will sit with original things. Place a red star candle next to the appliances, or prepare cards with written guests' names and menus.
Step 3
Serve the table in the traditional way. Place a large plate for each guest with the cutlery next to it. The forks should be on the left side of the plate and the spoons and knives should be on the right side. On the side of the forks, just put a plate slightly higher on which guests will put bread and pies, and to the left of the forks, place a plate for one of the salads. Place glasses for water and wine next to the knives, and let the water be closer to the plate.
Step 4
After setting the table, bring some holiday food from the kitchen. Prepare them in advance according to the wishes of the men. At the same time, do not get too carried away with new dishes. On February 23, most of the "defenders" prefer the usual menu. For beer lovers, prepare pork cutlets, and as a snack - sandwiches with salad made from cod liver, or an original salad of crab sticks. Do it as usual and use shrimp flavored chips instead of sticks. For gourmets, try veal with potatoes or chicken baked with adjika.
