Dinnerware
Honey can you set the table?
Um, sure. What are we having for dinner? Do I need to put out anything in particular?
Well, make sure to put out the pepper and salt shakers. I don’t know if your brother is coming tonight so set an extra place mat just in case.
Ok, should I use the fancy silverware?
Yeah go ahead, forks, spoons and knives. I roasted some meat so be sure to put out some steak knives as well.
I’ll also set some cups and saucers for some coffee after dinner.
Honey? Have you seen our soup bowls?
They are in the cupboard where you keep the gravy boat and serving dishes. Just be careful because the wine glasses are also there.
