05/09/13 		Meats look good, maybe some left, could probably cut 10% unless they are football players.

Cut all the cooked pastas to about 7 pounds, pasta salad to 5-or at most 6. Increase rolls to 1.5 each, 4 pounds butter.

Tossed salad, use 1 1/4 times the amounts on plan for 100 for both salad and dressings.
Chips, for this age I do 1 pound per 12 and 1 cup (8 ounces) salsa per 5,

One sheet cake only serves 50 to at very most 60.

Check the soda count against the beverage page, or add 8 gallons of lemonade or iced tea.

Have a good time. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per person, to support the site.
