Menu for evening baby shower?

[Anonymous]

This OP again: thanks for suggestions. Mom to be dislikes seafood of any kind but like the idea of trending more toward Mediterranean - will think about a protein and a grain side of some kind. As far as a meal I though a puff pastry tart (cheese and vegetables) with salad was kind of elevated pizza and a salad which to me is a nice summer meal. Our group is mostly long time (since middle school) friends - and our mothers who are also very close too & trending towards casual as we’ll be catching up too as many are out of town now.

You need a cold sliced filet or something.

How about a lentil salad like this: https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/lentil-salad/

Np planning a very similar event right now: where do you recommend Mediterranean catering these days in DMV?

Yeah I think this is a know your audience kind of situation. To me, elevated pizza and salad sounds like a nice menu for a light luncheon, but I would be looking for more substantial fare at a dinner time party that includes cocktails.

To me, it’s not enough for dinner. Lunch, okay, sure. But for dinner you need something more.

I’d get chicken kabobs and rice.

Any favorite Mediterranean restaurants for catering in MD or DC?

These people don’t want no food. They wipe shit asses all day. They wanna get fuuuked up. Get some good beer, liquor, wine, Jell-O shots, maybe some bagel bites and you good.

Indeed...you can have whenever you want. Free country for now.

I think the menu sounds lovely and 75% of the way there. I’d add:

apps- watermelon and feta cubes on mini skewers; pita chips and hummus, tzaziki

dinner - chicken (and possibly salmon) skewers; maybe also a rice or orzo salad

dessert - fruit

Fyi you can buy the dips, pitas, skewers and rice at a place like Big Greek Cafe, or they are easy to pre-make.
