"Hello, I'm Jennifer Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to set your table for Thanksgiving Day dinner. You finally finished Thanksgiving dinner everyone is seated and full of food, now you have to clear the table. Well there are some special things that you want to consider if you're using china when clearing a table. Also things to consider if you're having guest help you, now first of all you might want to reconsider who is helping you clear off the plates. There have been many instances where guest have been piling them up and "oops" one of them breaks or they get chipped. So really consider that before you're having just everyone pilling things up to take out to the kitchen. Another thing that you want to consider is when people are carrying off the plates, scrapping food into the trash make sure that you get all of your silverware back. There has been numerous times when at parties where afterwards if you count everything out you're missing a few forks or spoons. So that is something else to take into consideration before you throw out your garbage make sure that you accounted for all of your serving pieces and your flatware pieces. Lastly, I don't know about you but I'm particular about how I want things done in my kitchen. So you just might want to consider whether or not to take people up on their help or whether it is going to create more work for you later."
