<div class="m_1476945869081951081moz-cite-prefix">Hello, all,<br>
Adeline here, trying to wrap my head around the plans for menu and
set-up, so bear with me while I write it out.<b><i><u> </u></i></b>If
you've already planned something different for any of this, that's
great! I'm just trying to think it through for myself.<br>
<b><i><u><br>
</u></i></b><u><i><b>Wine<br>
</b></i></u><b>Rebecca</b> volunteered six bottle of "green"
wine. Approx 6 servings per bottle, so 36 servings. <b>Do we need
more?</b><u><i><b><br>
<br>
Appetizers<br>
</b></i></u>No volunteers for this category. <b>Do we need
appetizers?</b> It would be nice to have something to go with
wine while people are arriving and prior to sitting down for the
meal. Finger food style. Crackers, cheese, veggie sticks and dip??<br>
<u><i><b><br>
Entrees<br>
</b></i></u><b>Dawn</b> (Wow, Dawn, that's a lot of
preparation!) plans to prepare:
<span class=""><div id="m_1476945869081951081AppleMailSignature">2 vegetarian lasagnas, totaling about
35 servings (local pasta)</div>
<div id="m_1476945869081951081AppleMailSignature">A vat of pasta with pesto and shrimp,
probably serving 20-ish (local pasta and home-grown basil)</div>
<div id="m_1476945869081951081AppleMailSignature">A vegetarian stir fry/sauté with
local vegetables, probably serving 20-ish</div>
</span><div id="m_1476945869081951081AppleMailSignature">A huge pan of brown rice and/or
quinoa for under the veggies <b>(Does this count as a side
dish?)</b><br>
</div>
<div id="m_1476945869081951081AppleMailSignature"><span class="">A chicken dish, maybe divan, with two
local chickens, serving about 20-ish<br>
<br>
</span><b>George</b> plans to bring a vegetarian entree, but I don't
recall that he mentioned number of servings.<br>
<br>
<b>Adeline</b> can bring a couple of quiches (our eggs), one
vegetarian, one omnivore. Depending on how it's cut, 6-8
servings per quiche.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div id="m_1476945869081951081AppleMailSignature"><u><i><b>Sides</b></i></u><br>
</div>
<div id="m_1476945869081951081AppleMailSignature"><b>Adeline</b> will bring two big
dishes of some vegetable (at the moment, thinking peas or local
green beans); one dish serves 6-8, so 12-16 servings. And also a
large, roasted, root vegetable (local as much as possible)
melange - serves maybe 8-10.<br>
<br>
<b>Cindy</b> was also on the list for a side dish.<br>
<br>
<b>Do we need something more?</b> Dawn's vegetarian stir-fry
might also count in this category.<br>
<br>
<u><i><b>Salad</b></i></u><br>
No volunteers in this category. Anyone still have garden
tomatoes or peppers? Cabbage for slaw?<br>
If no one else volunteers, <b>Adeline</b> will get some organic
greens and salad dressing at the grocery store, and make do with
that.<br>
<br>
<u><i><b>Bread</b></i></u><br>
<b>Andrew</b> was volunteered because we liked the big,
beautiful rolls he made at an earlier dinner. But 60 is a lot of
rolls for one person to bring, especially if they are big. <b>Do
we need more volunteers for bread? </b><br>
<b>Adeline</b> can bring some butter and home-made jam (our
grapes) and preserves(our peaches) to spread on the rolls.<br>
<br>
<u><i><b>Desserts</b></i></u><br>
<b>Shari</b> mentioned blueberry cobbler. How many servings?<br>
<b>Cindy</b> volunteered ginger snaps. <br>
<b>Adeline</b> can bring peach cobbler or peach pies (our
peaches). Two pies - 12 servings; one cobbler - 10-12 servings.
Also--feeling the need for a chocolate option-- a large tray of
brownies made from the fair-trade baking cocoa from Equal
Exchange.<br>
<b>Mike</b> will bring some ice cream (Broughton's is local) to
go with the other desserts.<br>
<b>Maybe we need a fruit-only option?</b><br>
<br>
<u><i><b>Beverages</b></i></u><br>
<b>Mike</b> will bring six gallons of organic tea with lemonade.<br>
We can make coffee from the church supply. <b>Get cream and
sugar?</b><br>
Cold water is always OK.<br>
<b>Do we need ice?<br>
<br>
<u><i>Setup</i></u><br>
</b><b>Ralph</b> has volunteered to help with setup. Who else?<br>
Since we have a mini-concert between main meal and dessert (by
the way, was Randy counted in the attendance total?), and maybe
too many people for the octagonal table arrangement, what do you
think about separate tables?<br>
I like that better than the long table arrangement: people could
simply turn their chairs around if their backs were toward the
piano. Just a suggestion. <br>
Are we doing buffet style serving in the kitchen? Beverages,
wine and appetizers (and later, desserts) where we serve snacks
for social hour? Set up the tables and put plates and napkins
out?<br>
<b>Dawn</b> will bring her 30-some cloth napkins; <b>Adeline</b>
will bring some, too.<br>
Do you want the table tents about ethical eating? Maybe we could
slide them over bud vases and have some flowers at each table?
If you like the idea, Adeline will start working on making that
happen.<br>
Do you want to have a display somewhere about the solar panels,
etc? Do you want to put some brochures on each table?<br>
<br>
<u><i><b>Cleanup</b></i></u><br>
<b>Ralph</b> has volunteered to help with cleanup. Who else?<br>
