Family Dinner

   We have a big family with three kids. Every holiday we are gathering together and celebrating perfectly. My mother is chef and she knows everything about delicious food and how to cook it. She always follows the rules of the table arrangement. She says that it is kind of art. Our table is always beautiful. There is a wonderful cloth, colorful napkins, everything of a high quality. On holidays she always takes a special ware, which was presented to my parents on wedding. It is very beautiful. Plates and cups are made of china and glasses from cut – glass. It was in England and it is a property of our family. It is look very expensive. After dinner my mother takes them back that somebody doesn’t break it. It was a Thanksgiving Day. All our relatives arrived from different cities. Somebody wasn’t seen since Christmas. It was a big event, because everybody could see each other. First we greeted each other, discussed the latest news, boasted of our purchase. Than we took seats round the table. My mother usually cooks a lot, especially if Uncle Frank comes. There was of course turkey, some snacks, batata and special vegetarian food for Aunt Betty, she doesn’t eat a meat. This Thanksgiving Day was a special date, because on this day my grandparents had anniversary, fifty years ago was their wedding. Everybody congratulated them with this event. My mother covered the table with a very beautiful cloth, which she bought in Morocco. It was patterned white tablecloth with a lace. It was look very posh. Everything was great and nothing pointed to trouble. If only Uncle Steve didn’t spill a red wine on the tablecloth. Everybody scared and my mom most of all, but than she remembered that to save the cloth she lay on it a colourless pellicle, because she expected such situation and uncle Steve was saved from my mother. At the end of dinner everybody forgot about this accident, while my father didn’t break couple cups of china service. It was a terrible shouting, my mother was so angry that any freighted to reassure her. In general dinner was successful, except broken dinner service and a lot of dirty dishes and of course I had washed it up.
