[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends.  Cuisine preference? Adventurous eaters or mid-west meat and potatoes kind of guests? Food allergies? Vegetarian or non-veg? Your cooking abilities? Budget? How posh are the people? How many courses do you want to serve?

Slept poorly last night so thanks for the prompts here.

No allergies or strong food aversions. No vegetarians. All "good eaters" and one is quite accomplished in the kitchen. Serving 8 and no budget constraints. I am fairly adept in the kitchen though tend to stick to chicken, fish, and pasta dishes as DH doesn't really like pork or red meat.

Thinking serving soup in small cups along with the apps in our kitchen while I am finishing the dinner, then an entrée, veg, salad, and dessert. Perhaps rice or couscous depending on the entrée.

Supposed to be a little chilly on Saturday so keeping that in mind.

Thanks again for the prompts and looking forward to your suggestions![/quote]
