Every day, women prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner for their family. But one spring day men come to the kitchen, put on aprons, pick up sharpened knives, and start cooking delicious food for their beloved women. And everyone knows this day very well - of course, March 8th.

One of the men knows how to cook perfectly, and for them to set the table is not difficult. And someone does not know how to do this, but still wants to bring joy to their loved ones and arrange a real holiday for them.

Therefore, today's article is for them. I tried to collect very simple recipes here, according to which you can quickly and deliciously prepare a festive breakfast, lunch or dinner, and most importantly create an excellent mood. Indeed, when we cook something for loved ones, it is always pleasant, especially if it is food. A lot is transmitted with food - this is mood, care, and love ...

Therefore, before you start cooking, this is what you should stock up on first! It is most important! And sometimes it doesn’t even matter how this or that dish turned out, because the person who prepared it tried to spend time.

But I'm sure that we will succeed. I will describe all the processes in great detail. The only thing that will be needed is not to be afraid to include fantasy. Cook all dishes with festive overtones. Decorate salads in the form of flowers, hearts, or in the form of the number eight. Come up with any holiday names associated with flowers, women, and this spring day. And then everything will be at the highest level.

If you want to arrange a real celebration for your loved ones, you can prepare breakfast for them in bed. Imagine how a woman will be delighted and surprised, especially if this does not happen often.

Cooking something supernatural is not necessary. You can simply serve coffee with a croissant or a little cake. It’s good if you find a suitable tray where you put all this. Or maybe for these purposes you will find a small table, do not forget to put a small vase of flowers on it.

And you can cook something more serious, such as scrambled eggs. It can be an ordinary scrambled egg in the form of a heart. If you have special silicone molds for making such fried eggs at home, then this will be just fine.

And you can cook it in the form of a figure eight. To do this, you need to fry the eggs in the usual way, and then a glass with sharp edges, cut two circles, you can have the same, or you can have different sizes. To do this, you will need to stock up on glasses of different diameters.

Often fried eggs are fried in hearts from sausages. It is very easy to do. You just need to cut the sausage across, but not to the end, then set it to the desired shape and fasten with a toothpick. Put in a frying pan, drive in the egg and fry in the usual way.

  Recipes of simple and tasty salads on March 8

For the festive table, you can cook any salads, the main thing is to turn on your imagination in the right way and decorate the dish, respectively, on March 8. Or make a salad in the usual way, but come up with a name for it that matches this day.

It’s okay if there is no salad with the same name in nature. Rather, it would be more correct to say that until this day it was not in nature, and now it has appeared, and you are its author!

It’s great - not only to surprise and delight your beloved, but also to come up with a new salad! By the way, I also plan to come up with names for them in this collection, so don’t be surprised if you search for their names on the Internet, but don’t find them.

And the first one we will have is the most suitable salad for International Women's Day.

  Salad March 8, or "Card for mom"

This is the most difficult salad of today's selection. But its complexity is associated only with time and patience.

We will need:

• tuna can - 1 pc.
• boiled egg - 4 pcs.
• hard cheese - 150 gr
• fresh cucumber - 1 pc.
• boiled carrots - 1 pc.
• mayonnaise to taste
• salt to taste
• greens for decoration.

Cooking:

We will prepare such a salad in the form of the number 8, and for this to be easier we need two glasses with different sizes of diameters. We also need a large flat dish or plate, in which we will collect our salad.

1. And so, we put two glasses on a plate, at the top with a smaller diameter, at the bottom with a larger one. And we begin to lay out the layers.

2. The first layer we will have grated protein from a boiled egg. We spread it in the form of two circles in the form of a figure eight around the glasses, about three centimeters thick.

3. Drain the oil and juice from the tuna, and disassemble it into fibers using a fork. Or you can use a special tuna for salads. It is already crushed, and you just need to drain the liquid. Put it on top of egg whites. Lubricate with a thin layer of mayonnaise.

4. Put the grated cheese with the next layer.

5. Then a cucumber grated on a coarse grater, followed by grated carrots. In this case, with mayonnaise, you can lubricate either each layer, or so as not to be too high in calories, do it through the layer.

6. With the last layer we spread the yolk grated on a fine grater. And carefully remove the glasses.

7. The crumbs that have scattered around the edges are carefully removed with a napkin or a teaspoon.

8. And the final touch, we decorate the salad with greens, canned corn and cut flowers of protein. But you can just leave the number 8 without colors. Salad will look beautiful anyway.

By the way, here is another version of the same design, but without any glasses. Salad in this case can consist of any combined layers. We spread them simply layer by layer, greasing them with mayonnaise.

Then we cut the number 8 from paper, put it on the salad and sprinkle with finely chopped green onions or other herbs. We remove the paper. And from the edge we make a willow twig. Carefully laid out egg yolks act as kidneys.

What, say too long to mess with such a salad? I agree, although this salad is not at all complicated, but still you have to tinker with it a bit. But with the next, no fuss at all. Cook it in 10 minutes, only buy products in advance so that there is plenty to cook from.

  Caprese Salad

This Italian salad is just as tasty, so beautiful. Moreover, not only its design, but also its name is beautiful. Therefore, you just have to pronounce its name, and any woman will immediately smile, so this word caresses the ear.

• mozzarella cheese - 2 balls (200 - 250 gr)
• olive oil - 2 tbsp. spoons
• dried basil - 0.5 teaspoons

Cooking:

1. Tomatoes cut into slices with a thickness of 3 - 5 mm. In order to do this carefully, you must have a well-sharpened knife.

2. Cut mozzarella cheese as well as tomatoes. And put on a plate, alternating layers. If the mozzarella balls are not very large, and the tomato, on the contrary, is quite large, then you can spread it just by mixing, as in the video, which we will have a little later.

3. Pour dry spices into olive oil, mix, and let stand a little, so that they have time to slightly swell and give their flavor. Then oil the tomatoes and cheese.

That's it, our salad is ready and you can serve it to the table. As you can see, cooking it is simple and fast. And he looks quite worthy! In addition, it is very tasty and healthy. And it will not hurt the female figure.

And here is another design of the same salad.

  Salad "Women's Day"

The next salad is also very simple, and is prepared based on another famous salad, when the ingredients are not mixed, but simply laid out in separate heaps. Moreover, their composition can be completely different. The most important thing is that they all fit together.

Well, let's look at our current option, and find out what will be in the salad this time.

• crackers - 1 sachet
• olives - 0.5 cans
• mayonnaise to taste

Cooking:

1. For the salad you can use any meat, it can be boiled meat, and chicken, and like today we have smoked sausage. You can even use crab sticks instead of meat, which will also go well with all other products.

2. Sausage, cucumber, cheese and bell pepper cut into strips of approximately the same size and thickness. Cut olives in circles. They can be replaced with olives.

3. For the salad, we need a large flat dish. We have 8 ingredients in total, divide the plane of the dish into 7 sectors and lay out each of the ingredients in one of them. Place olives in the center.

4. We use crackers from a bag.

5. From the bag with mayonnaise we squeeze out beautiful lace paths, framing them with each of the sectors. It turns out a very beautiful design. It is in this form that it must be served.

6. Before you start to eat salad, it must be mixed with mayonnaise.

As you probably noticed, all the ingredients here are used fresh. You do not need to cook anything for the salad. I bought it in a store, washed it, cut it, and a delicious salad is ready. Spend only 15 minutes on it.

  Princess Salad

And the next salad is made from chicken breast. It can be pre-boiled, or you can buy ready-made, for example smoked.

We will need:

• chicken fillet - 200 gr
• pitted prunes - 0, 5 cups
• boiled egg - 4 pcs.
• processed cheese - 100 gr

2. Chicken fillet to disassemble into fibers, or you can just cut into small cubes.

3. Grind half the nuts in a blender to the state of a large crumb, roll the second part with a rolling pin to make particles the size of a small pea.

4. Cut eggs and cucumber in the same way as chopped chicken. If cubes, then cubes, and if disassembled into fibers, then you need to cut into small strips.

5. Put the cheese briefly in the freezer, then grate it so that it does not stick together and the salad will look beautiful. Leave it and some large nuts for decoration. Also leave a little prune for decoration.

6. Mix all other ingredients, salt and pepper to taste. And also mix with mayonnaise.

Sometimes salt is not required, because if the chicken is smoked, it is already quite salty, and mayonnaise is also salty. Therefore, do not overdo it with salt. But a little freshly ground pepper does not hurt.

7. Put the mixed ingredients in a flat plate, giving them the shape of a pot. Fold the left chopped prunes, sprinkle with cheese and garnish with large nuts.

The salad is very tender and incredibly tasty. And everyone can cook this! The only thing required is to boil the eggs and cut all the ingredients. Fast, simple and easy!

2. Cut the cucumber and cheese with the same thin strips, but not so long.

3. Wash and dry lettuce leaves. Then break into fairly large fragments.

Salad leaves cannot be cut with a knife. In this case, they will start juice, and become soft, dark and ugly.

8. Lettuce should be refrigerated for 20 minutes so that all layers have time to soak with dressing. Serve chilled.

If you notice, this salad has some similarities with, of course, not in the main components, but in principle. I specifically do not offer Caesar's recipes here, as many people know how to cook it. And if someone does not know how, then the link to it is higher.

  Hot dishes for the festive table on March 8

The menu of hot dishes can be the most varied and includes almost everything that a man can cook. Cook what you get. No need to rediscover America and come up with polysyllabic dishes unusual for themselves. For example, my husband cooks on March 8 from year to year.

He does it very well, the result is always predictable, that is, pilaf invariably turns out delicious. And it’s not difficult to cook it, besides cooking pilaf is in the East the work of purely male hands. Therefore, men are happy to take it.

Our mothers, a daughter and her husband, always gather for a holiday, sometimes a brother and his family drop by. And everyone is always happy to eat a wonderful Uzbek pilaf. And no one in all these years has ever asked: "What, again pilaf?"

Another dish that men enjoy cooking is. Braziers cleaned for the winter are uncovered, and they are happy to fry meat in the fresh air, even in the courtyards of apartment buildings. All neighbors treat this with great understanding, and even a little envy. And they will certainly tick off somewhere in their minds to do the same for the coming year and thereby please their beloved women.

Shish kebab, by the way, can be cooked in the oven, or in the electric skewer (if any), for example chicken. It is being prepared without much hassle, the main thing is how to do this, see in a separate article by clicking on the link.

It is also easy to bake in the oven - carp, mountain trout, or some other, by the way you can bake it with vegetables, or stuff it and bake it too.

And you can marinate and bake the whole chicken in the oven. Making it easier is simple, and everyone probably knows how to do it. You can bake it simply in the oven, or on the grill in the same oven (if there is such a regime), or in the sleeve or in the bag, which will further ease the task, since after that you will not have to wash the oven.

I was surprised to find that on my blog there is no recipe for whole baked chicken. Here it is, but no chicken. Therefore, I hasten to correct this mistake.

  Whole baked chicken

We will need:

• whole chicken - 1 pc.
• any chicken spices
• salt, pepper - to taste

Cooking:

1. Wash the chicken and let it drain in water. Dry with paper towels.

2. To make the chicken tasty, it must be marinated. For the marinade we need spices. You can use a ready-made set of spices for chicken, they are sold in all stores.

I usually cook my own sets of spices, and for chicken, it includes ground coriander, zira, thyme, oregano, thyme, garlic, turmeric, paprika. Such a set gives not only great taste, but also a delicious ruddy and beautiful crust.

3. Pour spices into a separate bowl, add salt and freshly ground pepper there. You can add ordinary pepper, but freshly ground gives just an incredible aroma.

4. Now the resulting mixture must be coated with whole chicken from the outside and inside and leave it to marinate for 30 - 40 minutes.

By the way, it can also be cut along the breast line, then the chicken will turn out to be not voluminous, but flat and baked faster.

5. 15 minutes before the end of this time, light the oven and set it to warm up. We will need a temperature of 180 degrees.

6. Now you need to decide how you will bake the chicken, in a bag, or on a baking sheet. By and large, it will be delicious at least somehow! Therefore, choose any method.

7. After placing the chicken in a hot oven, leave it to bake there for 50 minutes. Of course, the time depends on the size of the chicken, it may take a little longer.

The readiness criterion will be that our chicken will become ruddy, smelling delicious, and it also looks very appetizing. When piercing meat in its thickest part, pink juice should not appear on the surface.

8. When the chicken is completely ready, it must be taken out and cut into portions. It can be served with any side dish and with fresh vegetables. Well, or with any of the above salads that you prepare for this holiday.

Baking chicken in the oven is easy. And if you take into account all the points of the recipe, and follow them, the result will be simply amazing.

By the way, if you have dinner for two, and there will be a whole chicken, then you can bake only legs or thighs in the oven. And here is the recipe.

3. Important   not only count the guests, but also decide on age categories. If children will prevail, then the menu will be appropriate. For adults, there are also nuances: advanced youth who are open to new taste impressions or people of a respectable age with prevailing taste preferences, or maybe contraindications.
4. Solve a holiday format issue: a traditional table or a buffet table, or gatherings on the veranda in the case of a house in the country. The format primarily depends on the area of \u200b\u200bthe house. A typical city apartment and a country cottage dictate different rules.

Do not miss the most popular articles of the heading:

Before this significant date, the heart invariably freezes with joy in anticipation of gifts, fun, friendly meetings. But for some reason, some people do not like their birthdays. Someone because they are at least a year old, but they are getting older. And some, especially economical subjects, are tensely calculating how much it will cost them and the mood spoils from the announcement of the estimate. Life is such that everyone is periodically forced to save. But this is not a reason to deprive yourself of holidays. Therefore, we will try to answer the question: how to inexpensively set a table for a birthday?

Where does tradition come from?

When did people start celebrating birthdays? There are two versions. According to the first, the tradition was based on Roman ceremonies held in honor of the gods. Pagans set up plentiful tables, sounded congratulations, gave various gifts. This hypothesis is more modern. And the second version says that the roots of tradition go back to ancient times, when there were beliefs about the special vulnerability of a person on his birthday. It was believed that any wishes or curses were doubled on such dates. Therefore, the ancient people made offerings to appease the spirits so that they would not harm the newborn.

Name Day Flies-Tsokotuhi

Birthdays gradually turned to personalities, but for a long time no one paid attention to the date of birth of children and women. The first woman whose birthday was celebrated on a grand scale was the beautiful Cleopatra. It was not customary for ordinary people to record and celebrate ladies' birthdays.

Greeks and Egyptians often and pathetically celebrated the birth dates of the gods, as well as the pharaohs and kings. Sometimes, on the occasion of the birth of the pharaoh, prisoners were released from prisons. In ordinary families, it was practiced to celebrate only the birthday of the head of the family.

At first, the position of Christianity in this matter was extremely harsh: life was given to man for the atonement of sins, and therefore he was not happy. Later, the church softened somewhat and allowed christening with name-days. But the Soviet system was against name day and, figuratively speaking, trampled tradition with his iron boot. Even the famous birthday fly was ordered to be removed from the works of old Korney.

By the way, in Russia, name-days were very popular: they baked a loaf, brewed tasty beer, made cakes and sang songs. Of course, peasant holidays were much more modest than the royal ones: sometimes, for the amount spent on the day of the crowned person’s name, several chic palaces could be built.

Surprise cake

It is clear that ordinary people always dreamed of setting a delicious and inexpensive birthday table. But what a celebration without a cake? Few people know where this indispensable attribute of birthdays came to us from. If you dig a little deeper, it is believed that the idea itself came again from pagan times, when sacred altars were lit in pitch darkness in honor of the ancient gods.

But the Germans introduced the tradition. They created a common ritual for celebrating a children's birthday. To do this, they prepared a delicious cake in which various iconic objects were hidden, candles were put upstairs according to the number of years of the hero of the occasion, and, waking the child from dawn, they sang him good songs. It is noteworthy that the pie was not eaten until evening, until the whole family gathered at the table. The child was supposed to make something cherished and blow out the candles at a time. It’s familiar, right?

Jam Day: Their Morals

In different countries, such holidays are treated differently. A reverent attitude among the majority of the inhabitants of the planet to anniversaries. But some nationalities mark just odd or non-circular dates. Traditions are also different: in Italy, an indispensable dish on the birthday party table will be spaghetti (for a long time), and in Latin America they always break a piñata with gifts loaded in it.

The British, who have lived to 80 years or more, personally congratulate her Royal Majesty. But the most unlucky birthday people live in Japan: instead of children, they congratulate their parents, and gifts are generally accepted only after the age of 60.

Household Desk Rules

If the mistress-birthday girl still decided to gather close people under her hospitable roof, but wants to compare needs with opportunities, then there is a way out.

To set a table for a birthday at home is inexpensive, very tasty, and even so that it looks presentable - an absolutely feasible task. To do this, you must follow the simplest rules:

1. The menu must be thought out in advance. It’s nice to dig into cookbooks, look through magazines. You need to pay attention to the ingredients: it is cheaper to buy seasonal products, so the menu is selected accordingly. If the hostess wants to set the table for a birthday at home inexpensively, recipes with photos are especially welcome, because you can immediately see how the dishes on the table will look.
2. Accurately calculate the number of guests (given, of course, and a few uninvited guests). You can cook hot portioned, but in this case the birthday girl will not have rest. It’s better to make a common dish with a margin.
3. First courses on the birthday menu, as a rule, are not included. Exceptions are exotic gourmet soups.
4. If a traditional celebration is planned, then it is quite possible to set a table for a birthday at home inexpensively. Recipes for budget dishes can be found in any source to your taste. But surely cold and hot appetizers, a main course (meat or fish), salads and dessert should be included.

Alcoholic beverages are also an important attribute of the festive table, as they increase the degree of mood, forgive the pun.

Modest slicing and luxury roll

Many families adhere to the classic long-standing traditions and set the table with their favorite dishes, which guests know by heart. But this approach has its own benefits: people will never leave hungry and are guaranteed to be satisfied.

Standard cold dishes include meat, cheese and vegetable slices. This classic approach has never failed anyone. The main thing is the variety of varieties in the composition of the slices. Everyone knows that it is with cold appetizers that any feast should begin. This is the so-called organizational moment: it is useless to hope that no one will be late. And while waiting, the rest of the guests will be able to eat well so as not to drink on an empty stomach.

For those who want to set the table for a birthday at home inexpensively, Korean snacks are perfect: buy a little of everything (after tasting the dishes) and put them on small tables in the table. Homemade pickles and marinades are also in great demand.

There are express recipes for initiates on how to deliciously and inexpensively set a table for a birthday: cold roll and a snack with the romantic name “Raffaello”. The first is prepared as follows:

• a sheet of thin pita bread is greased with a mixture that includes: mayonnaise, garlic, dill and grated cheese;
• finely chopped ham;
• further actions are repeated;
• roll pita bread in the form of a roll;
• wrap the product in cling film and put in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Serving such an inexpensive, but original dish is necessary, cutting it with a very sharp knife into portioned pieces.

Raffaello appetizer will require the following ingredients:

• crab sticks;
• garlic;
• hard cheese;
• mayonnaise;
• cashews (but in order to save money, you can use a walnut).

A kernel of walnut is rolled into a mixture of cheese, fatty mayonnaise and garlic. Then, a frozen crab stick is rubbed on a fine grater. The grated crab meat is falling off with a surprise: the dish is ready. Including with the help of this recipe, you can reveal the secret of how to quickly and inexpensively set the table for a birthday. To make these balls look festive, they are laid out on fresh lettuce leaves.

You can also use seasonal dishes. The budget version of the menu is compiled in the summer. For example, eggplant tongues or fingers. The second option is more expensive, since it contains very little, but meat is included.

Charming hot snacks

The hostess, asking herself the question of how to deliciously and inexpensively set a table for a birthday, should not forget about hot snacks. They follow the cold when everyone gathered at the table and the time has come for the first toasts. They should not be many, and they are prepared shortly before serving. This is a light meal that has a small serving size. An example of such an appetizer can be easy to prepare meat balls:

• traditional, patty meat is made, with the addition of a raw egg;
• the finished layer of dough is rolled out and cut into strips;
• meat balls are wrapped with threads from the dough like a ball;
• the dish is baked in the oven until cooked.

This appetizer looks very presentable.

Now it’s not a problem for a hostess to set a table for her birthday at home inexpensively, recipes simply jump out of magazines, cookbooks, and Internet portals themselves. Here, for example, is a dish similar to julienne, which is cooked ridiculously quickly, but the taste is simply charming. We present the hostesses of champignons in sour cream sauce.

The dish is prepared like this:

• peeled mushrooms are added to carefully sautéed onions and carrots and stewed for about 10 minutes;
• later laid sour cream, seasonings and everything is stewed until cooked.

The simplest dish can be made beautiful by sprinkling it with grated cheese and herbs on top and serving in ceramic pots.

Salads for the date

If you intend to set a table for a birthday at home inexpensively, then you can’t do without salads. For the traditional approach, olivier, herring under a fur coat, Mimosa or Caesar are suitable. You can use the simplest option, which will require products such as:

• green pea;
• ham;
• pickled champignons;
• mayonnaise.

This salad is suitable when guests are literally on the doorstep or come unexpectedly. After all, you do not need to pre-prepare anything, all the components are simply mixed.

Seafood salads may originally look like, especially to the taste of the female half of the guests.

Main serving

A very important moment, when after an artistic exclamation: “Fedya! Game! ”On the table appears, for example, a baked appetizing duck stuffed with dried apricots and apples. But the question was, how inexpensive is it to set the table for a birthday, what does the game have to do with it? So it’s not necessary to bake the duck, the same can be done with chicken. You can not use the whole bird, but its legs or wings. If you pickle them well, and even roll them in honey, you get a great dish with a delicious crispy crust.

In general, before planning the main course, you need to ask yourself what your guests like more: meat or fish? Only then can you prepare the coveted main course. Of course, fish is several times more trouble than meat, but pike will become truly festive and will be remembered by guests for a long time. It’s good to bring chops, cutlets, medallions or steaks to the festive table. One thing is for sure - the meat must be present on the table.

Garnish for main dishes is to choose potatoes in any form: mashed potatoes, fries, fried, boiled with herbs.

What about compote?

To set the table for a cheap birthday, recipes are not all that the hostess needs. Drinks are also important. Of course, you can not do without compotes, juices, carbonated drinks, maybe even pear. What about alcohol? It is important to consider that not everyone drinks strong alcohol, so champagne, as well as other wines, are an obligatory attribute on the festive table.

Desserts require tea or coffee. As a sweet, of course, in the classic version they serve a cake with candles, but how to set a festive birthday table cheap? After all, cakes are quite an expensive pleasure. There is a solution: either bake a cake with your own hands, or purchase cakes, cookies or sweets. By the way, a confectionery product, prepared personally, is better than any purchased product, because the hostess puts her soul into the dish.

Mistresses Secrets

To set a table for a birthday at home is inexpensive, but at the same time make it unforgettable, you need to know the main secret: competent serving and decoration of dishes. You should not spare your time for this.

What is needed for serving and decoration:

1. Tablecloth. In the classic version, white, but other color schemes are allowed.

Little birthday

Many mothers probably think how to set a table for a child’s birthday inexpensively so that he is delighted.

Everything is suitable for canapes: ham, cheese stars, pepper slices, olives, corn, shrimp. A sweet option is done this way: bananas, grapes, kiwi are chopped onto skewers.

From boiled chicken, tomatoes, sweet peppers and cool eggs, you can make a delicious salad by designing it in the form of a hedgehog with fly agaric on its back. The salad is stacked in layers: sliced \u200b\u200bchicken → tomatoes → grated eggs → chopped pepper. Each layer is smeared with sour cream and yogurt dressing. Sprinkle the hedgehog with grated carrots, and mark the muzzle with egg white. Eyes and nose are made from olives and prunes, and fly agaric from eggs and tomatoes.

Alternative ideas

Finally, we can offer several ideas when there is neither time nor the desire to spend time in the kitchen, and the soul requires a holiday. It is possible to set a table for a birthday at home inexpensively and tasty by purchasing ready-made food from cooking or a restaurant. This option is especially suitable for a young, advanced company. You can order pizza, ready-made grilled chicken and salads. Japanese dishes are a little more expensive.

There is also an interesting and modern option - a buffet table. But he obeys certain rules:

• division into disposable servings;
• dishes should be mainly on skewers;
• you can put all kinds of goodies on one large table;
• the main course should be in baskets or make cantaloupes, having previously cut them;
• if chicken legs are served, then the bone is wrapped with a napkin.

Alcoholic beverages must be uncorked, and guests are surely provided with glasses and glasses. But a huge plus will be that the birthday girl does not need to constantly change plates and appliances.

The most interesting option will be a birthday in nature. Happy people born in the summer months know what that means. Picnic, barbecue, barbecue, air and sun - what could be more seductive? But here there are nuances:

• salads with mayonnaise - not recommended dishes on a picnic;
• meat must be marinated in advance;
• should take care of drinking water;
• sandwiches and side dishes can be taken from home.
