OK well, not exactly a soup kitchen but its for dinner at the
psychosocial rehabilitation center where I work. We feed +/- 20 people
every night 6 days a week. . . . it's free. Once a month it's a "pay
meal" and folks pay $2.00 (if they can afford it.)

Next week I am making a French dinner. something simple for a starter,
a main course, a side dish (rice? potatoes? pasta or noodles?) a
vegetable, and dessert.

I plan to have Coq au Vin for the main course,
Sauteed green beans and almonds in brown butter
and Pate Choux aux Fruits (sp?) (cream puffs)for dessert.

I need suggestions for the side dish (rice? potatoes? pasta or
noodles?) and the starter.

All help appreciated.
