All of the food. So far I'm doing crudites, spanikopita, a spinach salad, 2 mini quiches.
I feel like I should have something more...meaty or something.
Maybe a chicken salad in mini-pitas.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Anyone buy and love a good frozen spanikopita?
The TJ's ones are pretty good.
How many guests are you expecting?
Not sure yet. She's inviting between 50-60, but 90% of them won't be coming because they're from Michigan and New York and Ohio...She's only having the one shower and doesn't want to leave anyone out.
So the final number won't be more than 20.
You could make up a pan of chicken, ziti and brocolli. Or a lasagna or baked ziti, and a crockpot full of meatballs. You could get cold cuts (pricier), and finger rolls or good bread, and let people make their own sandwiches (rather than making those little sandwiches).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILLYTEA!!
chicken, ziti and brocolli.
Oooh!
And maybe a pesto tortellini.
Happy b-day, billytea! And congrats, too!!
I talked to my niece last night. Her b-day was last Thursday. She said, "Nee Nee! Happy bid-day! Happy bid-day!" I about fell over from the cuteness overload. Damn I love that girl.
Aimee, I have a good, easy recipe for penne pasta with eggplant, that can be made the day before, if you want it.
I'd love it, Sparky. I love eggplant. The shower-ee, NSM, but I'll make it for us.
