Hi all - anyone throwing and open house or have great ideas for one? We have 50 people coming in between 4 and midnight, ages 2 weeks to 80 years. I was trying to convince my husband to let me have the thing catered but I've lost that battle. Here are my ideas so far:
- Cold poached salmon
- Brescola, salami, prosciutto
- Assorted cheeses
- Crackers, baguette
- Grapes, berries, dried fruit
- Hummus with mini pita
- Veggie tray and sour cream dip
- Glazed ham
- Roast beef
- Penne in marinara sauce
- Roast potatoes
- Green beans in lemon butter
- Roast butternut squash
- Rolls
- Assorted mustard, horseradish, spreads
- Cookies
- Cheesecake bars
- Fruitcake
- Assorted chocolates
Any ideas? Feedback? I'm not enamored with it but lots of people make menus difficult. I was thinking of adding crackpot mushrooms :-)
Anyone else hosting a open house or other party? What sort of parties is everyone holding this year?
