[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd add a salad or some roasted veggies. [/quote]

Thanks, I like both these ideas. If it’s a salad, I’ll do greens with goat cheese, pomegranate seeds and a simple dressing. I kind of like the idea of a side of roasted vegetables, however, because then I don’t need to fuss with salad plates in addition to dinner plates and dessert plates…

I like the goat cheese salad idea and I'd like plain roasted carrots with butter.  No honey.

I like the entire rest of the menu except i'd do a different cheese.  I don't think I'd go for Boursin with honey.  I'd do a basic Brie with water crackers and maybe some other sides.  I have recently enjoyed putting goat cheese on fig & thyme flavored multigrain crackers.  I might do a cheese board with a variety of cheeses and crackers to encourage kids to at least try cheeses they are used to (cheddar cubes, Colby). In my experience, kids don't like rinded cheese and gooey gourmet cheese (but strangely like cheap stuff like cheez 'n' crackers).

Another interesting cheese option is flavored Derby cheese.  Sage Derby and Port Wine Derby are very festive-looking and have complex flavors that are still pretty widely acceptable.[/quote]
