Bill and I have often discussed having semi-formal meals where we teach our girls etiquette. It has always just been talk, but I finally decided to put it on the calendar. So tonight, Miss Manners joined us for dinner. We set the table with various silverware, multiple plates and bowls and cups.
We also all dressed up for the occasion.
First course: Carrot bisque with leeks
Second course: Caesar salad and baguette bread (I had hoped to make home made rolls, but time got away from me.)
Third course: Steak and grilled parmesan potatoes
Fourth course: angel food cake with strawberries
We spent a lot of time talking about proper ways to do things, but in the end just had a great meal and enjoyed spending time as a family.

That is great!! I need to do that with my boys....most men have no clue...well when your dating so is that a man or a boy.lol.....So, I'm going to keep this one on the back burner so when they get a little older. You're so creative!!
After talking to you today, we are also going to start doing this! This would not only teach the boys good mannners but also how to treat a lady when they're out to dinner.
We had a really good time and are glad that we can encourage other to do the same.
