As is usual in our family for 2-3 weeks before the New Year we
the menu is a festive table and write out a list of products that must be
buy something to buy in advance and not get lost in the sea
pre-New Year sales. Shura ordered gefilte fish, Sergei salad
calamari, Greek salad, I, and by tradition we always baked cake from
semi-finished products, not to bathe with cakes. In the end, everything turned out not
as we expected. It all started with the fact that no one wanted to kill the living
Carp, who did not want to fall asleep himself, despite the 4-hour walk on
frost in a plastic bag. While decided what to do with carp, digested
squid. They turned out rubber. With this bustle forgot to put the champagne
in the refrigerator. It later emerged that in a hurry instead of bunches of celery, parsley
and cilantro was purchased three beams cilantro, black olives, pitted and were
olives with pits. Exactly at 24 00 for a hastily assembled holiday table
all clinked champagne warm (I'm a warm carrot juice) and ran the entire
family into the kitchen to pick out seeds from olives. As a result, at a gala
table, which we podgrebli in the morning, it was: warm champagne, salad
rubber squid, live carp, which we released in the bath (and themselves and not
time to take a shower), a Greek salad without celery, parsley, and smeared with
soft cheese and olives, dig, and not rising cake in the oven and
bananas, which are bought in advance for the day 3 and that had become covered with "corpse"
stains. The holiday was a success!
