cook ahead dinner
Donna
03/25/09 		My neighborhood has a traveling dinner party, we all meet for cocktails then hosts (cooks) are given 6-8 people to come home with you and you serve them dinner. You only have 1 & 1/2 hours to eat, then met for dessert. What can I serve when I do not know what people eat and have a time limit. Dinner needs to be cooked ahead of time.

All done ahead, all nice for company.
