[quote=Anonymous]I do enjoy hosting, but there are times that I just get overwhelmed and don't really have time.  When that happens, I do order food for everyone.  It's the consequence of rotating the hosting.  If they don't want to eat catered food, then they can skip our house for hosting duties.

Besides pizza, some other options:
- The family platters at Famous Daves always serve about 25-50% more people than they say and work great
- Roast chickens from Sam's Club with prepackaged trays and frozen foods that just need to be heated in the oven
- Ordering Chinese.  We often do this, order more than we need and we have leftovers for lunch in the next day or two.
- If you know ahead of time, Sam's Club, Subway all do the long 3 ft (or so) subs that feed an army.  Then just get sides to go with it.  I once got one of these big subs and a can of "just add water"  soup mix and made a huge pot of soup from Sam's by adding water and boiling.  A big tub of cole slaw, a tub of macaroni salad and a tub of potato salad and everyone seemed happy.
- 3 Brothers catering isn't that expensive and they'll even come and set up the steam table trays for keeping the meal warm.

Your husband should be able to handle any of these.[/quote]
