thank you lefty!!

5 people this year. its a lot of dishes in small quanities. except for the dessert - a pie is a pie. all the dishes are homemade so quanity is easy to control. why cut back on what people like, just make less.
and then i don't really have to cook again for 2 -3 days!! LOL

Cooksie · Nov 10, 2009

Very nice menu, lbp! Now I'm inspired to start thinking about what to have.

This is how far I have gotten:

Appetizers

Spicy Bloody Marys (a must to calm down the frazzled cook :biggrin:

)

Meme4251 · Nov 10, 2009

If Peeps or Joec was closer, I'd load my bunch up and head your way! :yum:

You both better get started....Sounds Awesome............ :chef:

joec · Nov 10, 2009

We are having about 11 adults and the rest kids ranging in age from 2 years to 13 years old. We will have other things for appitizers but at this point haven't decided exactly what except a cold cut plate of some kind.

Cooksie · Nov 10, 2009

I would love to see a pic of the orange cups, Joe. Neat idea!

Thanks peeps.
Yep........doesn't that have marshmallows in it? No one likes marshmallows.
I was leaning toward a potica......depending on if I get around to it. I used to make a "green shit" named by DH. It was pistachio pudding, pineapple and some other stuff. I'd have to look up the recipe. lol It was good......

Fisher's Mom · Nov 10, 2009

I forgot the "green shit", Barb! I used to make that all the time when I lived in MA, but I haven't made it in years. I'm going to look it up, too.
