Good of a place as any:
Just got word mom is getting married..... AGAIN (6th)o_O so the family (mostly hillbillies) will gather in a few weeks and I will slave in kitchen. I need menu ideas. below is the plan so far for 20-30 heads
brined / Smoked turkey and a couple chickens
baked taters, on grill
corn on cob, on grill
pasta salad (deli meats, cheeses, italian dressing, veggies)
steamed broccoli
ceasar salad
deviled eggs
veggie plate
melons
chips / onion dip
chips, salsa guacamole
garlic bread
some other bread I make with a baguette, garlic butter, prosciutto and mozzarella cheese.
bulk Costco rolls
for desert: 4 dozen cream puffs and a few lemon meringue pies. Both can be seen in CM's "Whats cooking" thread.
possibly a batch of squash soup depending on how many heads and how much help I get.
Pretty please make suggestions on things to add, subtract or substitute. . The meat is set in stone, flexible to all others. Broccoli is only on the list because Costco sells 3lbs ready to eat crowns in bag. Would really like a better offering.
Everything but the bread, Italian dressing, pasta and cheese will be made from scratch, so your ideas should be inline with this. There are some awesome chefs here so I hope to see some good ideas. Price isnt an issue, but being able to pull all this off with limited help is. Most things on list so far can be made or prepped the day before.
