When we have guests we prepare lunch of three courses. The first course is soup. We usually have beef bouillon with vermicelli. Main dish is roasted sirloin beef and Czech dumplings and as a dessert pancakes with fruit and cream. We don´t have any special table manners and we don´t celebrate holidays. But birthdays we do. We usually go to the restaurant and order some delicious meal. We pay and add a tip for a good service.
My favourite meals are spaghetti with cheese and tuna or pizza.
Pizza is easy to prepare. In a shop I buy frozen pizza and at home I bake it in an oven or a microwave oven for 15 minutes. Then it is ready to eat.
It is easy to prepare spaghetti, too. First I must boil spaghetti. I fill a pot with water and add a few salt. Water must come to the boil. When water is on the boil I add to the pot spaghetti and two or three spoons of oil. I boil spaghetti for 8 minutes. Then I must strain it. I grate cheese, open a tin of tuna, cut up an onion and mix egg with milk. I prepare a dish. To the dish I put onion, spaghetti, tuna, spaghetti again, mix of egg and milk and then cheese. I put this dish into the warm oven. In the oven it should stay for 20 minutes. I start my day with breakfast at 6.30. I have a cup of tea with lemon for a drink and to eat I have porridge or milk rice.
At school at 9.30 it is time for my snack. I usually have an yoghurt and some drink.
At 1.30 I have lunch in a school canteen. It consists of soup, main dish, drink ( cup of tea ), and sometimes some fruit ( apple or banana ). I don´t like soup in the school canteen. The main dish is usually pork or beef meat and potatoes or rice. Once a week we have sweet meal at school.
Sometimes I have snack at 4.00, too. It consists of a glass of milk and some fruit ( banana, apple, orange, tangerine ).
At 6.30 it is time for dinner. I have a slice of bread and butter, cheese or salami and for a drink a cup of tea or a glass of milk.
When we want to go to and eat in a restaurant, it is useful to order a table. In the restaurant a waiter welcomes us and leads us to our booked table, which should be already prepared. At the place we are to sit down, we usually find a plate. On its right side there are knife and spoon. On the left side there is a fork. The silverware includes a teaspoon as well, which is placed above our plate. In the upper left corner should be a glass of water.
