Today, let’s try using the formal place setting. 

Set up a formal place setting using the plates, cups, glasses, and silverware you already have in your kitchen.  Do you already have all of the pieces available?  I must admit that we don’t have any fish forks, so we just used another salad fork in its place.

Once you have the place setting, design a menu that would use everything in the place setting.  How many courses would you have?  What would you serve?

If you want to take it one step further, pick an evening and have a formal dinner at your home.  How formal would you make it?
