Create a New Year's mood together

Be sure to prepare for the holiday together! The New Year's mood appears in the process of decorating and creating a festive atmosphere. If you do everything yourself (decorate the Christmas tree, the apartment, prepare everything without your partner), then your significant other may not have a feeling of involvement in this joyful action. In any case, plan everything so that at this moment you are alone.

Start preparing a week, or maybe a month in advance. Take a stroll through the Christmas markets and choose some friends. Pack it nicely. Let them play their favorite New Year's songs at home. The main thing is that you do everything together!

Exchange gifts

Gifts are a mandatory attribute of the New Year. We need to figure out how to present it.

• You can hide the item in the clothes you are wearing and play “hot and cold”. This will add some spice :)
• You can hide a gift within the apartment and give your loved one a drawn map or message where the location of the “treasure” is encrypted.
• Hide the gift, but do not give a clear code of where it is. Provide your loved one with tips. You can post them throughout the apartment or indicate in each of them how to find the next one. The goal of the latter will be the gift itself!

Holiday scenario

Have a pajama party

Down with formal suits and tables. Climb into bed with some pre-purchased treats and watch Christmas movies and lights all night!

Romantic setting

Just imagine: the smell of cinnamon, tangerines, muted and flickering candlelight, a bubble bath... You can organize such a festive evening. The intimate atmosphere of the celebration will emerge in the imagination of your loved one for a long time with a desire to repeat it.

Party by nationality

Select the appropriate country. This could be a place where you two would like to go. Decorate the apartment and prepare dishes based on its traditions, find appropriate costumes. This is a great alternative to the usual standard holiday!

You will find more ideas in our article about how you can celebrate New in an interesting way.

Apartment decoration

Fairy lights

They are the ones who create the atmosphere of fabulousness and celebration! Let the garland hang under the ceiling, on the walls, on the windows. The New Year's mood should creep into every corner of your home!

Don't forget about the Christmas tree

Let her stand in the center of the room. Place pine branches in a vase to fill the room with the aroma of the forest. Decorate with toys, rain - let everything sparkle and shine! Try to bypass the banal ways of decorating the New Year tree. Better choose one.

Snowflakes on the windows

You can also hang them on the windows! Or paint a New Year's composition on glass with special paints. Rejoice yourself and give a festive mood to people passing by your house. You will find interesting ideas if you follow the link.

Make a miracle orange

Stick dried clove buds into an orange, which will create a pleasant aroma throughout the house.

Don't forget socks for gifts

Hang them around the apartment, arrange New Year's figures, hang rain, decorate the apartment with bright balls.

Play Christmas songs in the background. They will give you the appropriate mood.

Create an original menu

On New Year's Eve, it is enough for two to prepare several “signature” dishes.

An approximate menu that will be enough for two people, while it will look solemn.

1. The famous Olivier salad. On our website you will find 1001.
2. If you want something exotic, try making sushi. Instructions are also on the website.
3. Men are usually “meat” gourmets. You can make sliced ​​meat.
4. Some light salad. For example, chicken with pineapples and sire.
5. Canapkas with red caviar are suitable for appetizers.
6. Don't forget about sweets on the table, where would you be without them in romantic affairs? Make a fruit platter or fruit salad. You can prepare a cottage cheese dessert or make it.
7. For alcoholic drinks, give preference to a bottle of red wine or traditional champagne. You definitely won’t want to sleep from it, but it will create a romantic mood 100%.

And the most important thing. Try to prepare enough food to last only on New Year's Eve. Don’t finish eating last year’s dishes in the New Year :)

Prepare an unusual surprise for your other half

Add passion and fire to the celebration - dance for your man. Prepare for a belly dance or striptease - these very beautiful and sensual dances will remain vivid moments in your memory.

You can also organize a Christmas photo shoot the day before together. Do not open or look at photos until the holiday. On New Year's Eve you can look at them for the first time. Believe me, it will be full of pleasant emotions, there will be something to laugh at and something to remember.

Competitions for two

Think in advance about what you will do after the president’s speech and the chimes so that you don’t get confused or bored during the celebration.

1. Play something. These could be board games, cards (add some intimacy for added interest) and “original” prizes or the fulfillment of any wish.
2. Write on pieces of paper what you expect from the coming year. Let everyone draw down their dreams and hopes. Hide the notes until next New Year. Then you can check if everything came true.
3. Have a dance marathon! Turn on the music and dance. There are no restrictions on genre or style - it’s just your evening. For fun, you can write the names of the dances on pieces of paper, pull them out one by one and perform the chosen dance.
4. If there is karaoke, start singing. The main thing is not musical talent, but having fun as a duet.

What's the best way to end the New Year?

• Record your wishes and congratulations for the coming year on video. On the next holiday, you can be nostalgic and reconsider how you celebrated together!
• Congratulate your family. You can call them over the phone, or you can take a bag of gifts prepared in advance and rush to give them.
• Set off the fireworks! This will be a bright final note to your celebration.

Having had fun, danced, and exchanged gifts with each other, all that remains is to fall asleep together in an embrace in the morning and wake up in the New Year. Have a nice New Year!

Where to go on vacation during the New Year holidays

Setting the festive New Year's table, of course, begins with choosing the color scheme in which the table will be decorated. Multicolor is not welcome in this matter; two, or maximum three colors, more is already a sign of unrefined taste.

The mistress of the coming year is Pig. The colors she loves are yellow, red and light green.

If you plan to set the table in red, then you need to remember that this color generally prefers the proximity of only one color, and preferably it should be white; the combination of white and red gives rise to strict harmony and solemnity.

Let's say the tablecloth is red, and the napkins, dishes and candles on the table are white. You can add a gold figurine of the hostess and yellow cutlery.

Or you can set the table in yellow-brown-gold tones, but you need to be very careful with gold so that the table does not look too pretentious and pompous. Rustic-style earthenware and ceramic serving utensils would be very appropriate on such textiles.

On a white tablecloth, green decorations will look very appropriate - napkins, a decorative Christmas tree or a spruce bouquet, green glasses, gold and silver dishes.

Well, now a few secrets:

• The textiles on the festive table should look perfect - carefully ironed, the tablecloth should hang over the edges of the table by at least a quarter of a meter.
• Napkins are always chosen either in a contrasting color or the same color, but a couple of shades darker.
• Covers on the backs of chairs to match the tablecloth will greatly decorate and add festiveness, sophistication and chic to the setting.
• A wide runner that matches the rest of the decor looks very nice on the tablecloth.
• Since the hostess of the coming year loves to eat, there should be a real abundance on the table; to save space, you can use large dishes on which several different types of cuts or snacks should be placed.
• Cutlery can be packed in openwork rustic napkins, tied with ordinary shaggy packing cord; of course, this is only possible when decorating the table in a rustic style.
• Decorate the stems of the wine glasses with rain, satin ribbons or glitter.
• When setting the New Year's table, small details that support the holiday atmosphere are of particular importance - beads and paper napkins with New Year's decor, Christmas tree decorations and even small pots with fresh flowers.
• A special place on the festive table should be occupied by the symbol of the coming year - a cute pig, and pair it with a dog - a symbol of the outgoing year.
• The surface of the salads can be decorated in the form of convex Christmas tree balls, using finely grated cheese, egg white or yolk for sprinkling and drawing patterns with mayonnaise.

The New Year holiday should be celebrated and celebrated brightly, in a circle of pleasant people and in a friendly atmosphere, then the year will be successful!

In the meantime, take my interesting and new menu for the New Year 2019 of the Pig!

How to create a menu for the New Year 2019

In this section we offer you new and proven recipes for the New Year of the Pig.

Meat dishes

In order not to offend the future patron, 2019 should not contain recipes containing pork. Everything else is allowed, and in large quantities, since the Pig loves abundance and prosperity.

What delicious thing to cook for New Year 2019 - chicken according to a special recipe. The combination of herbs and spices, along with the aromatic and juicy taste of meat, flavored with a delicate creamy filling, is perfect for the New Year's table.

You will need:

• chicken breasts - 3 pcs.;
• ham (beef, chicken) - 50 g;
• vegetable oil - 2 tables. l.;
• salt, pepper mixture - a pinch;
• dry white (good) wine - 50 ml.

For filling

• cottage cheese - 1 table. l.;
• basmati rice - 50 g;
• butter - 0.5 table. l.;
• vegetable oil - 0.5 tsp;

Advice
Before beating, the meat can be placed between two pieces of cling film. Then it will maintain its integrity, and small pieces will not fly apart during beating.
If you place the ham under the chicken breast before stuffing, then the rolls will get a crispy crust while frying.

If you want to create a simpler menu, you can stuff the chicken meat differently: put a thin piece of ham or sausage (boiled, smoked) as a filling, and a piece of cheese on top. Form rolls, roll them in breadcrumbs, then in beaten eggs, and again in breadcrumbs. Fry for 10 minutes over medium heat on each side. This dish is known as cordon bleu.

Hot dishes for the New Year 2019 will be incomplete without a suitable side dish. Therefore, we offer you several recipes that go well with both meat and fish.

Even such a familiar thing as potatoes can become a decoration for the holiday table if you know a few secrets of its preparation.

You need to mash the potatoes hot and only then pour in the milk (necessarily boiled). After this, beat the mass well and add butter.

If desired, hot potatoes can be sprinkled with chopped dill and/or garlic.

To do this, you need to wash the potato tubers well (do not peel them) and make transverse cuts on them slightly deeper than the middle. Next, place the vegetable in a greased baking sheet, add salt, pepper and cover with melted butter using a silicone brush. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees until cooked, periodically pouring oil from the baking sheet over the potatoes.

An ideal dish for the New Year's holiday, which goes well with fish and meat.

• water - 200 ml+100 ml;
• olive oil - 4 tbsp. l.;
• garlic - 1 clove;

Adviсe
To make the rice fragrant and crumbly, choose the highest grade cereal. Steamed rice, basmati, wild and steamed rice, and jasmine are well suited for this purpose.

If you want to add some “zest” to the rice side dish, you can add a risotto mixture or individual vegetables to it during cooking: carrots, corn, bell peppers, peas. For those who like a richer dish, we recommend pre-frying the vegetables. And for those who prefer dietary recipes, the vegetable mixture can be placed in boiling rice without additional processing.

For dessert, we suggest you prepare a delicate triangular cake with chocolate flavor.

The alternation of white and brown stripes along with the unconventional shape gives the classic sponge cake originality and festiveness.

You will need:

• eggs - 3 pcs. x 2 cakes;
• sugar - 100 g x 2;
• flour - 55 g x 2;
• starch - 30 g x 2;
• vanilla sugar - 1 tsp. x 2;
• salt - a pinch;
• dark chocolate - 50 g+360 g;
• cocoa - 20 g;
• cream 33% - 280 ml;
• cream liqueur - 100 ml.

The components are indicated for one cake. The multiplication sign means that exactly the same amount will be needed for the other cake.

Preparation

First we prepare the light cake. For this:

1. Beat the whites with salt.
2. Separately, beat the yolks with sugar and vanilla.
3. Very carefully mix the whites with the yolks, sifted flour and starch.
4. Line a baking sheet (approximately 19x29 cm) with low sides with parchment and grease with vegetable oil.
5. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees.
6. Pour the dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 10–15 minutes.

Let's start preparing the dark crust

1. Beat the eggs in the same sequence as when preparing the white cake. But add 50 g of chocolate melted in a water bath to the beaten yolks (before mixing with all the ingredients).
2. Then mix everything and bake in the same way as baking the first cake layer.

Adviсe
When baking a sponge cake, the oven must not be opened, otherwise the dough will “fall”.

Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then run a knife along the sides of the pan to release any “sticky” dough and invert the pan onto a clean towel or plastic wrap to remove the crust. Peel off the parchment immediately. Refrigerate.

Preparing ganache (ganage)

1. In a thick-bottomed saucepan, heat the cream and liqueur until bubbles appear.
2. Separately, break the chocolate into small pieces and mix with hot cream.
3. Beat the chocolate-cream mixture with a mixer until a smooth structure without lumps is obtained.
4. Place in the refrigerator until the ganache thickens a little.

Let's start shaping the cake

1. Divide each cake lengthwise into even pieces and cut. It turns out 4 cakes of 2 pieces of the same color.
2. Cover a cutting board with cling film or parchment and place a dark biscuit on it.
3. Beat the ganache again with a mixer. And grease the first layer of the future cake with it.
4. So it is necessary to coat all the cakes, alternating layers and lightly pressing them. We do not lubricate the top layer with cream.
5. Cover the cake with cling film and place in the freezer for 1 hour.
6. Next, the cakes need to be cut. To do this, we focus on the view of the cake from the side of a shorter length. Place a knife on the top corner and make a diagonal cut, moving towards the opposite bottom edge of the cake. In this case, it is important to grab all the cakes at once so that you get two equal parts of the cake with a triangular cut.
7. We connect both halves of the cake by smearing the side with cream and “gluing” them to each other. The cut should form a large triangle from two small ones.
8. Cover the top of the cake with the remaining cream. Flatten with a knife and decorate to your liking. You can sprinkle grated cocoa, powdered sugar, nuts on top, or create a decor with butter cream.

Advice
