06/10/14 		thanks Ellen. I found it. I did mention in the header that this was an open house for 4 hours for 60-75 people.....any changes I should make?

I looked over my notes, and they look about right- suggesting you up the potato salad, tenderloin and shrimp, cut the green salad; sesame noodles, fruit OK. Occurred to me you could turn the shrimp into a shrimp dip and not have to increase the amounts so much.

Thanks for the donation.

06/11/14 		thanks so much Ellen. this is a big help. I agree about cutting some of the salads out. But this client is insistent on a lot of variety. she won't budge.....I will definitely use your site again.
