"A special dish, eaten in your family on a special day"

Every family is special. This applies not only to traditions and practices within the family, but also in the dishes that are cooked in it in any occasion or just a special day.

In my family just a few holidays that we celebrate. But when there are some good events, holidays, or even a bad day, we get together: I, my mother, my younger sister and even my little brother who is 1,5 years old, and we are cooking something really special and delicious. All holidays that we celebrate, can be divided for a few points.

1. National holidays.

In Russia, people love national holidays, and they prepare for it very seriously. On the eye of the New Year, we cook several kinds of salads: Russian salad and crab salad, mom cooks a very tasty roast with vegetables and herbs, I cut meat and vegetables, my sister cleans the fruits and my brother is trying to help us and eat something at the same time. Also in Russia people honor this religious holiday as Easter. A few days before Eater we cook and decorate Easter cake, and paint eggs. One day before the holiday we sanctify it in the Church, and the next day we celebrate the holiday.

2. Birthday.

Each member of our family is always have a special birthday. In my mother's birthday we cook a seafood salad, on my birthday we always eat spaghetti Bolognese, the birthday of my sister we always celebrate with grilled chicken and rice, and my brother eats a plate of buckwheat with meat.

Special days are very important in every family, they pull together and lift the mood, so it is important to remember that family and friends make the holiday special.
