After
a few days break, lets get back to the business of planning our
Holiday BDSM Master's Banquet. As we have stated, this is going to be
a fun, fetish, fancy meal full of protocol and symbolism. A chance to
get together and enjoy what it is that we do!. Masters savoring the
rewards of their class and slaves enjoying the role they were born
for.
There
will be none of the stresses of preforming sexual tasks or giving
orders. This is just lucky kinky friends enjoying life. They will
be served a fantastic meal. They will be fulfilling social
responsibilities of the holidays. Above all they will be pampered in
a relaxed environment. They will have the chance to be themselves!
So
now we have laid the ground rules. Lets look at what you are going to
need to have ready.
A
dinning table that seats 6 (You
will only be using 3 chairs but you need the size.)
China:
Yes this should be the
really nice stuff that you have been “saving away” get it out and
check, wash, then cover until they are needed. slave
is not suggesting you go out and buy a full set of fine china. It can
be very expensive:
You
will need a set that matches and includes:
6
full sized Dinner plates (12 inch size)
6
salad plates (7 inch size)
6
soup bowls (they don't have to be big, just matching)
6
Bread & Butter plates (4
inch)
A
real fabric table cloth (it
can go over plastic if you wish as long as it doesn't show
through)with matching 6 napkins (YES!)
This
should go nicely with your china, plain always looks far more elegant
that a floral and allows the food (and the china to a lesser
extent)to be the star!
This
MUST BE IRONED – NO FOLDS allowed! Note:
if the cloth has a finished side, lay this “face down” on the
empty table then roll it up until you need to set the table. If there
is any “curl” it will be “under”.
For
the dessert course: You will need a fresh fabric table cloth and 6
napkins.
China
can be a different pattern for this course but much match.
6
dessert
dishes (for this desert you
can use salad sized plates)
6
cups & saucers
2
sets of “Cream & Sugars” one to match the china for the table
and another for sugar and powdered creamer for under the table.
Flatware:
While using sterling silver
would naturally be preferred, alas it is not often found in today’s
households like it used to be. So the next best thing is
silver-plated. Sets can be rented so please strive for this small
luxury. It shows honor for your guests and reflects well on your
Master.
There
are some gold-washed sets out there, but tend to be ostentatious,
don't you think?
You
will need:
First
course:
6
salad forks
6
soup spoons (these are larger than the everyday spoons)
Main
course:
6
table knives
6
table forks
6
spoons
Dessert
course:
6
desert forks
6
spoons
Glassware:
Dinner has been designed
for serving larger glasses for water and slightly smaller glasses for
wine. The food has been chosen to go with either a good white or red
wine. Please unless insisted by ALL, limit what you serve to water,
wine, and or ice tea. This is just not the type of dinner for sitting
beer cans around!
You
will need “water” glasses and “wine” glasses for the table. A
different set without stems CAN be used for the floor, but please
remember even though they are slaves: they are Your Master's guests
and should be served the best way you can! The only excuse for not
using stemware is that it might be as stable on carpeting. But plan
ahead with three rolls of paper towels under the table!
You
will need:
6
water glasses
6
wine glasses
Note:
for the 3 water glasses and 3 wineglasses on the table,
you will need small clear plastic saucers – a total of 6
Chargers:
These
are large decorative plates that sit beneath the first course dishes.
They
create a pretty background.
No
food is eaten off of them.
These
can be metal or even plastic.
They
should be larger than the 12 inch dinner plates.
A
bright solid color to match or contrast the table cloth.
They
are simply a touch of
elegance!
They
are removed
when the main course arrives.
Please
consider buying them if you
find something suitable when
you go to the dollar store for the saucers.!
I
recently found
16 bronze colored chargers at Michaels for 80-cents each. ($1 on-sale
plus a 20% off coupon.)
Now
for the table piece: it is suggested something that reflects the BDSM
style. For example: a black riding crop, a length of shiny chain, a
pair or two of polished handcuffs. I'm sure you have them laying
around, just make sure they are clean and polished brightly. If you
want to add the ambiance of candlelight. Use enough. Or just two
large plain white ones that are supplemented by dimming the electric
lights. Make sure they are UN-SCENTED!
Nothing can ruin the taste of a well balanced dish than a candle that
smells like a garden of lavender! Place
them on something to catch the melted wax!
These
table pieces will only be on view during the First and the Main
courses of the dinner. The table will be completely re-set for the
dessert course. No formal table piece is needed for that.
If
you wish music, please keep it low, discreet, and nothing that could
interfere with the conversations and jokes that will flow around and
under the table. Many prefer to use classical pieces for the reason
it does not have words that could catch the attention of your guests.
Music should not distract but rather add a soft cushion to receive
any breaks in the conversation.
Does
this sound complicated? Each part of this evening is filled with
symbolism and ceremony. Remember this is all to set the stage. Think
of it as putting out the props for a play. Everything adds to the
total of the evening. It is all for the comfort and enjoyment of
Your Master's guests.
May
slave offer a suggestion. When all is set, dinner is at the proper
stages of being prepared. Before Your Master's guests arrive. Take a
moment of silence, on your knees before Your Master. This will center
yourself and calm your nerves. Take that time to honor Him. Tell Him
Thank You for this chance to reflect well on Him and to make Him look
good. Thank Him for the chance to serve, not only His Master friends
but also to serve their slaves. A true slave remembers, it must serve
both!
This
will be a great chance to serve! A fun fancy fetish feast!
Enjoy
every minute of it! Once you have prepared with lists, and time
tables, focus on cooking and serving. Relax doing what you love the
most for the person that has
your unwavering
devotion. As slave has to its Master Indy
