As everyone already knows, the upcoming 2019 Year will be held under the sign of the Yellow Earth Pig. And therefore, according to the already established tradition, we began to take this fact into account when preparing for the solemn day.

We are trying to find out better what to expect from the coming period. We read horoscopes, trying to find out how the Symbol of the next 365 days can affect our lives. And of course, first of all, we are preparing for the celebration, considering what the Master of the Year loves! To placate him, and to help make the next segment of our life successful in all respects for us!

And for this we select the appropriate holiday outfit for ourselves. For friends and relatives, we acquire the necessary and beautiful gifts, and, of course, we set a beautiful festive table.

And there is not a single hostess or owner who would not ask himself the question "What to cook for the festive table?" After all, this question is by no means a rhetorical one. All of us on December 30, 31 will put on aprons and settle down in our kitchen for a long time. After all, you need to have time to prepare appetizers, salads, main courses, and desserts.

And in order not to forget anything, and not to cook anything superfluous, it is necessary to draw up a menu in advance. It will help you plan what you need to buy. What can be stored for a long time, purchase in advance, and perishable food buy the day before.

When drawing up a menu for the Year of the Yellow Pig, it is necessary to take into account some peculiarities. Let's consider the wishes for the holiday menu.

• Firstly, the Pig is omnivorous, which means we will cook completely different and delicious dishes.
• secondly, the Pig does not mind different types meat, and he will be happy with beef, lamb, chicken, fish and seafood. Do not forget that we are not serving pork in any form this evening.
• thirdly, the image of the Master of the Year in the design of dishes will be very useful.
• fourthly, the bright, colorful design of the dishes will delight Piggy. Who will refuse when such a holiday is arranged in his honor?
• fifth, the dishes should be homemade, tasty and cooked with love. It is always more pleasant to deal with a calm domestic Pig than with a hungry angry boar.
• sixth, do not abuse strong drinks. And then by chance you can fall asleep at the table, burying your face in the salad. And then everyone will not compare you with the Pig in the best way !!!

However, the outgoing year can also be spent with dignity. To say thank you to the owner of the passed segment of life - to thank the Yellow Dog for all the good that she has done for us. Therefore, it can be carried out by making a small salad with her image.

Here are the basic wishes for the menu. If you manage to comply with them, then it will be just great! The Boar and the Pig will not disregard this. They will understand that we show this respect and respect to them.

Well, that's good for us too. We also want our festive table to be beautiful and tasty "home-style" set. Therefore, in this our desires coincide with him!
