Let's take into account that we are celebrating the New Year of the Yellow and Earthy Dog, so we will lay the table in accordance with her preferences.

Actual colors

All natural:

• green;
• sand;
• brown;
• yellow;
• golden;
• white;
• beige.

From fabrics it is better to choose cotton and linen.

You can decorate the New Year's table 2018 with wicker baskets, dried flowers, earthenware. As for candles, it is better to light them only if you really want to, and scented candles are generally better left for another occasion. The dog is wary of open fire and does not like strong odors.

Well, in addition to a delicious menu and beautiful serving, let's not forget about a sincere smile and the joy of celebrating the New Year. Let's make the most cherished wishes on such a special night and meet the upcoming holiday with a special mood. And let the New Year 2018 become for us happy, successful and rich in amazing events and meetings!

Last year, it was not recommended to serve poultry dishes on the New Year's table. I wonder what you can’t cook for the New Year 2018 (Year of the Dog)? This and many other questions are of interest to housewives on the eve of the winter holidays. Therefore, let's find out what the yellow earth Dog does not like.

The next year's hostess is not so picky about food, but there are still points that should be taken into account when preparing for the New Year's holiday. After all, everyone wants to be happy in 2018, and therefore you need to please the dog as much as possible.

What should be on the holiday table

According to connoisseurs of oriental culture, the Yellow Earth Dog is a kind and completely non-greedy animal. At the same time, she does not like squandering and showing off. On the festive table should be exactly as much as you can eat in one evening. Do not stand at the stove for a long time and cook a lot of dishes to amaze guests. It is better if the meal is without fuss. For example, baked chicken, turkey or duck, or one large piece of meat, no matter pork or beef. Meat must contain bones. Perfect baked pork ribs.

As a side dish, there can be not only potatoes. Duck can be stuffed with buckwheat, and chicken with rice. Vegetables are also suitable: cabbage of all kinds, stewed eggplants, bright bell peppers. Salads are best served in the shape of dog faces, sprinkled with yolk or canned corn to best match the totem animal.

As you understand, the dog loves meat in any form, so the table must have:

• cold cuts of smoked meat;
• various types of sausages; all types of meat, preferably processed over an open fire;
• game cooked in any way;
• jelly, aspic; pate; meat salads of all kinds.

A variety of breads should be present, preferably homemade or wood-fired. After all, a dog is a pet and loves everything natural.

Fresh vegetables and fruits should also be served on the table, preferably yellow: bell peppers, oranges, tangerines, pears, apples, bananas.

You can add fresh berries, dried fruits, bright candied fruits to the dessert. As for sweets, it should be limited, because such products are contraindicated for the hostess of the year. It is better if cottage cheese casserole or other milk products with the addition of nuts, dried apricots, etc. appear on the festive table.

In general, in order to please the dog, there should be plenty of everything on the festive table, but without any special culinary frills. She will not understand the vegetarian meeting of the New Year either.

What not to cook for the meeting of the year of the Dog

The mistress of the year does not like fish. It is contraindicated for varieties where there are a lot of small bones, so it is necessary to exclude any river fish from the New Year's menu: carp, pike, etc. She will not like the tastes familiar to us, "herring under a fur coat." Salads with caviar, salmon and other red fish should be postponed until better times. It is necessary to abandon the now fashionable sushi and rolls.

When preparing cold cuts, you need to make sure that there is no horse meat or horse sausage. As you know, dogs do not like this breed of animals.

We hope that you are not an avid fan of Korean cuisine and you will not have exotic dog meat dishes. Just as Feng Shui experts say, broken noodles should be excluded from the menu. It turns out that longevity depends on the length of the noodles. Avoid teasing your dog with foods like hot dogs and other fast foods.

As for drinks, it is undesirable to serve on the table: kvass, beer, lemonade. Cook a regular compote or make a fruit drink and juice. Will not welcome the hostess of the year and strong drinks. You have probably seen in your life how a dog reacts to drunk people.

It is better to complete the preparation of dishes by lunchtime, so that by the New Year you have time to relax and look fresh and cheerful. The hostess of the year will not like it if you are broken and cannot celebrate the holiday cheerfully and carefree.

As a rule, dogs do not like cats, so try not to let them hang around the festive table.

In general, the dog belongs to active animals, so she will not like it very much if you do not constantly sit at the festive table. Come up with fun activities, games, contests to please her to the maximum.

What else will the symbol of 2018 like?

The heroine of the year can rightfully be called a village animal. She will surely like simple and uncomplicated things in everything:

Tableware

It must be natural. Focus on country style. Put earthenware jugs with drinks on the table. Place wooden spoons on salads. Only ceramic dishes can stand on the table. When eating dessert, put a samovar with a bunch of bagels on the table.

Decor

Decorate the octa with natural linen curtains. This material is the best suited for napkins, tablecloths and chair covers. When choosing decor, pay attention to the favorite colors of the totem animal: yellow, orange, beige, brown, gold, etc. In choosing decorations for the Christmas tree, you should also follow the same trend. Among the toys there can be wooden, clay figurines of dogs, stars from twigs, garlands of dried citrus circles.

clothing

New Year's outfit should be chosen based on the Dog's favorite colors (see above). As for the style, you should prefer loose styles so that nothing prevents you from having fun. The dog will like it, because it is a mobile animal. Among the jewelry, you can choose yellow and orange jewelry. The best option would be beads or a necklace made of natural stones with wooden elements. Without a doubt, the Dog will also like amber jewelry.

• New Year's cleaning should be completed before sunset, so as not to accidentally sweep family happiness out of the house.
• On the eve of the holiday, do not lend money and return the borrowed money yourself.
• Choose an outfit and jewelry that the totem will like. They should not be pretentious and match the color of the year.
• If you want to have a strong family, then do not be lazy and tie the table legs with a thick rope.
• When entertaining, refrain from playing cards. This will protect you from unnecessary excitement for the whole next year.
• Choose simple and inexpensive gifts made of natural stone or wood. This will drive away mercantile people from you.
• During the chimes, throw a coin into the glass and make a wish, after which you always carry it with you in your wallet. The wish will surely come true.

• If you want to get rid of something (applies to women), throw a light shawl over your shoulders. At the last chime, throw it away, and you will forever forget about what prevented you from living.
• To live carefree all year, try to peel a tangerine during the chiming clock and put it under the tree, and then drink champagne, making a wish;
• If you have a fireplace, you should keep the fire in it until the morning. Also, no one should occupy objects related to fire: candles, matches or firewood.
• On New Year's Eve, do not be afraid of the awkward moment when you have a sneeze. This is a testament to a happy year for all present.
• If three balls fell from the Christmas tree during New Year's Eve and crashed, then soon expect replenishment in the family.
• In order for love to reign in the family, you need to kiss first after waking up on the first of January.
• Hard work should not be done on the first day of the New Year, otherwise the whole year will be hard.
• Unmarried girls, upon meeting with an unfamiliar man on the first of January, can determine from which side their betrothed will come.
• Earlier on the first day, girls who wanted to know their future went for milk. If it is not sour for seven days, then this year there will be a wedding.
• By meeting with the animal on the morning of January 1, they also judged what would happen. So the cat foreshadowed a romantic meeting, the bird - a long journey, and the dog said that there would be a meeting with an old friend or a new acquaintance.
• It was bad luck to receive a watch, a towel or a mirror as a gift. If, nevertheless, you were presented with such gifts, then give the giver a symbolic coin. This will save you from negative consequences.

Using a trickle of mayonnaise from a tube, draw a garland, and pomegranate and corn seeds will serve as “Christmas toys”.

IMPORTANT: You can cut the star at the top of the Christmas tree from carrots, peppers or tomatoes.



almond nuts can serve as a wonderful decorative element that will turn the salad on the dish into cones! To do this, lay out the salad in the form of two ovals and stick a large number of nuts with the rounded side into the dish.



Boiled chicken and quail eggs, by stringing them on toothpicks and skewers, can turn into New Year's snowmen. Details (eyes, mouth, nose, and so on) are easy to make from other products.

A salad that has a top layer of cheese chips can easily be "turned into Santa Claus." To do this, you should have grated egg white, red chopped tomato pulp and black olives.
