I am planning a Sunday brunch 10am - 1pm this December the day after my son's Bar Mitzvah, before ppl leave for the airport. All family, about 25 ppl, ages from 8-76, a fairly even distribution. Since it is during Hanukkah I'm doing a NY bagel & lox brunch with Hanukkah items. Here is my menu, can you please check quantities for me? Thanks!!
Latkes (potato pancakes) - from 10 lb potatoes |

What a happy day. This looks like a lot of food for 25 people.
Latkes (potato pancakes) - from 10 lb potatoes
Bagels - 2 1/2 doz- OK
Rye bread - 2 1-lb loaves Fruit - 2 pineapples, 2 lb strawberries, this is only about 40 strawberries, most people take 3-4. Pineapple is OK. Fat green grapes would be very pretty with this.
OJ - 3 qt- OK
Jelly donut holes (traditional Israeli Hanukkah food) - 4-5 doz. plenty of sufganiyot
Rugelach - ? Mazaltov. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime or quarter per guest, to support this site. Thank you. |

Thank you so much. Yes, a lot of options. Too many picky people in my family. (Aren't all families like that?). Anyways, because the Bar Mitzvah is the day before I won't be able to really do any prep that day. Making ahead & freezing - latkes (will double), applesauce, kugel. Buying from Costco on Thursday - hummus, lox, tomatoes, whitefish salad, pineapples, strawberries (will do 3 lb). Ordering from deli with delivery Sunday morning - bagels, egg salad, cream cheese, the three cookies. Can purchase everything else the weekend before. Will make the health salad Friday. Donuts - either delivery or will send a relative to pick up that morning from DD. What do you think I should cut? Having a girlfriend come over and help with plating, refilling & picking up trash, etc. I used to have a part-time business as a personal chef and know I can get all the other prep done that morning . And, I will be delighted to make a donation. Even if I make too much, the leftovers will be delish and still less than having it catered. |

I think it will be fine as is, and you will have some tasty leftovers. The donation button upper left is an easy way to support the site. |
