He doesn't ask for true kosher meat, or a true kosher kitchen, just doesn't eat the verboten pig/shellfish and doesn't mix milk and meat.

Maybe I was getting mixed up w/r/t the list? Whatever. Fuhgettaboutit. Craxy husband. I'll make sure he brings something for himself if he doesn't like the consensus choices.

We're thinking of having a cash bar out at the pool first, then moving it in and continuing from there, and would that work?

From a purely practical perspective, I'd advocate for having the bar start out open, and then move to cash, rather than the other way around. (Personally, knowing there was going to be an open bar in an hour would make me much less likely to buy a drink out by the pool...)

Oh, honey. You shouldn't admit that you know that.

I didn't know, I just heard it this morning, as "Turn This Mutha Out" came blasting out of my clock radio this morning.

And Deb, OF COURSE you will be feteing. I just figured Juliana for the 4Am late night stumble bit :)

Heh. Sparky, the list includes two vegetarian options: the spanikopita and the cheese board with fruit.

Two vegetarian trays (one hot, one cold), one seafood (coconut whatevers), and two carni-trays.

Yes'm. That will work.

Oh, info for Fay and AmyLiz, my two houseguests: having gathered that my two foldout futon things were not as comfy as they could be, I ordered a pair of 2" thick foam mattress toppers.

Sounds like a plan. Or should we just do cash, the entire way, and have them keep the tally from the first drink out by the pool? Might be more sensible to do it all one way from the start.

Who, me???

I thought the whole idea behind ordering less food was to have more money to spend on an open bar? So nobody has to bring any cash to the party?

Who, me???

Color me shocked.

OK, I think I'm confusing the meanings between open and cash. Brain full.

What works best for what we need?

Color me shocked.

Hush, you.

Open.
