Menu input (since I'm in party mode)

6fsn

It's at 1 pm on Sunday for family, but I know ils will be here by noon.  25ish people that will hang around till 6-7.

I'm pretty set of a main of chicken and noodles (it has peas and carrots in it) with mashed potatoes.  I know carb overload, but we like our noodles over potatoes.  I'll add a tossed salad.

Apps- I thought a big tray of veggies, crackers, and bread with a traditional dip and shrimp dip.  I was also thinking deviled eggs.  I know the ILs will eat them. 

Dessert- ice cream cone cupcakes and ice cream.

I have a couple of cheese balls and Chex mix for evening munching.

That sounds good. Give 'em what they want.

So what time is the party on the 11th?

We prefer fruit trays to veggie trays. They just go faster/better.  But yeah, still carbs.

And I would eat deviled eggs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I could. Seriously, it's one of those things where H and I need to make an extra effort to be polite at parties and leave some for other people.  I'd make a lot of them. (protip: ziploc bag as filling dispenser. Before that, I would only eat them if someone else made them & cleaned up.)

<div>Did you see my bacon deviled eggs DG? They were the best and I ate like 10 before the family even got over here for dinner that night.</div>

Cool.  I could do some fruit, I just never think about it because I don't like it. 

I love deviled eggs too so I'll have to do a couple dozen.

Shut up. Sounds awesome.  We usually do sprinkle bacon pieces on top of some of them. (SIL is vegetarian, so we save some plain ones for her.) But I will have to check that one out.

And 6 - 2 dozen for 25-26 people for 6 hours?  Even if you mean 2 dozen eggs = 4 dozen halves, that's only 2 deviled eggs per person. Doesn't 'save too many for you to gorge on later.  :)

I have them up on my blog, they included cheese, I'd go with a little blue cheese if you swing that way, but just straight bacon is a neccesity.
