I'd say lots of finger type foods. Most people will be standing up and
eating, talking and it would be hard to eat something that requires a knife
and fork. I'd say meatballs with toothpicks; cold cuts, rolls and cheese;
fruit plate; peel and eat shrimp; little quiches. If someone wants to be
adventurous, spanikopita is good! Spinach dip in the bread bowl, salmon dip
& crackers..........women love appetizers!

Toss your claim in for deviled eggs early, or forever hold your peace.

Well.. personally...chocolate is *always*
appropriate for the goils
I know you said desserts were covered but.. but...
GOOD chocolate is a thing of beauty and much loved

Chocolate covered bananas ;-) Sorry - couldn't resist. I guess
foot-longs would also be appropriate. *GRIN*

Yeah, if I'm dressed up, I wouldn't want wings either. That's why I was
suggesting dips and other finger foods.

Usually somebody is in charge, there is a list so you don't get
duplication of foods or a food group doesn't get left out.

Think cheese tray, cold cut tray, breads, crackers, chips, pretzels,
nuts,general munchies, food that can be grazed, foods that can be dipped,
dips, hummus,small pizza slices, chicken wings, shrimp ring, sausage
rolls, phylo wrapped stuff, salads, coffee, tea, soft drinks, wine etc..
Nothing too messy or gooey. Vast quantities of paper plates, plastic
knives, forks and spoons and plenty of napkins, serving spoons, seving
platters and bowls. A means to keep various warm food warm.



Plus of course a gift.

Brie and Pesto Puffs

2 sheets puff pastry
4 lbs. Brie
1 lb. Pesto Sauce
1 egg
1 Tbsp. water

Roll the puff pastry sheets until they measure 14 inches wide and 16

Pick up all four corners over the filling and pinch closed. Repeat the

Snack stuff, definitely. Nothing that gets in the way of the games
and/or drinking (if past bachelorette parties are any indication).
Stuff that's easy to eat with one hand, like devilled eggs, veggies
or chips with dip, or the ubiquitous chicken wings. I posted a recipe
for teriyaki wings the other day that I really like. And here's a
couple of tried and true snack recipes:

Cream Cheese Pinwheels

1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 T. grated onion
1 tsp. prepared horseradish
Dash Worcestershire sauce
1 4 oz. package ham lunch meat (8 slices)
Dill and/or sweet pickles, cut lengthwise into quarters

Blend first four ingredients until smooth. Spread evenly over
ham slices. Lay pickle spears across one end of ham, roll from
that end to form a log shape. Chill for at least one hour (can
be left overnight), slice into pinwheels just before serving.

***

Greek Meatballs

1# ground lamb or beef (or ˝ # each)
1 egg, beaten
1/3 C. dry bread crumbs
1/3 C. soy sauce
Ľ tsp. powdered ginger
Ľ tsp. garlic salt
Ľ tsp. cumin
˝ C. chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 275°-300° F.; mix all ingredients thoroughly. Shape
into 1 inch balls, place in single layer in 9 X 13 inch baking dish.
Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes. Makes 32-34.

***

Jalapenő Dip

16 oz. mayonnaise
16 oz. sour cream
Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Salsa (fresh or jarred)
Chopped jalapenő peppers (roasted or canned)

Mix all ingredients, chill at least one hour. Serve with
tortilla type chips.

Oh, ick! Then again, I've only had the frozen version, so maybe
I'm missing something...

Bacon wrapped water chestnuts.

I read about those in a romance novel the other day. ;-)

Seriously tho', consider devilled quail eggs!

I've been buying water packed canned quail eggs lately from the Thai
store in Austin and they are delicious!!! The whites are a little firm,
but the yolks are creamy. I've seriously considered trying to devil
some, or even just cut them in half and top them with some paprika or
some sort of sauce. Add a frilly toothpick and you are done.

Seems pretty easy, and would be exotic to most people.

I've just been adding them whole to stir fry's and salads.

Michael, West Bend makes a great electric fondue pot; I used to have one and

Finger food made out of fingers? Seriously, though:

* sandwiches cut into triangles
* Little red smokies (basically viena sausage types high on
barbeque sauce)
* Gourmet cheese and crackers
* sweet gherkin pickles
* raw veggies with a dip: radishes, carrots, celery, pickles
* Sushi (if they don't eat it, I will)
* grapes

Here's a good recipe that is yummy (which you'd never know from the
recipe), simple, makes plenty and can be multiplied any old number of
times:

Michael,
Why not a savory little cheesecake(I'm thinking reuben or ham and
swiss flavor) in single serving bites. Elegant, non-messy, great with
drinks and people wioll think you slaved over a hot stove all day.!

Sorry! I'm not "up" on that recipe. But I do see it frequently at buffet type
gatherings. I thought that it was required.
