Hello my dear friends, sorry for the last week I was so busy . Today I will show way to set up a beautiful dinner table.
How to use your silverware and dinnerware:
Use the silverware farthest from your plate first.
Here's the Silverware and dinnerware
rule: Eat to your
left, drink to your right. Any food dish to the left is yours, and any glass to
the right is yours.
Starting with the knife, fork, or spoon that is farthest from your plate, work your way in, using one utensil for each course. The salad fork is on your outermost left, followed by your dinner fork. Your soup spoon is on your outermost right, followed by your beverage spoon, salad knife and dinner knife. Your dessert spoon and fork are above your plate or brought out with dessert. If you remember the rule to work from the outside in, you'll be fine.

If you remember the rule to work from the outside in, you'll be fine.
Use one of two methods when using the fork and
knife:
American Style: Knife in right hand, fork in left hand holding food. After a few bite-sized pieces of food are cut, place knife on edge of plate with blades facing in. Eat food by switching fork to right hand (unless you are left handed). A left hand, arm or elbow on the table is bad manners.
Continental/European Style: Knife in right hand, fork in left hand. Eat food with fork still in left hand. The difference is that you don't switch hands-you eat with your fork in your left hand, with the prongs curving downward. Both utensils are kept in your hands with the tines pointed down throughout the entire eating process. If you take a drink, you do not just put your knife down, you put both utensils down into the resting position: cross the fork over the knife.
Once used, your utensils (including the
handles), must not touch the table again.
Always rest forks, knives, and spoons on the side of your plate.
For more formal dinners, from course to
course, your tableware will be taken away and replaced as needed. To signal that your are done with the
course, rest your fork, tines up, and knife blade in, with the handles resting
at five o'clock an tips pointing to ten o'clock on your
plate.
Any unused silverware is simply left on the table.
