It is our family
custom to eat every
meal together. The
bigger children help
set the table.

At mealtime, the family and
other members of the
household get together to
eat, relax and share experiences.
No matter how busy each one in
the family is, everyone
looks forward to
sharing a pleasant
meal with each other.

Meal time can be
attractive and enjoyable if
food had been properly
prepared,
cooked,
served
and set.
