Re: Critique my menu!

  • Looks tasty! The only thing I'd think of adding (if you feel like it) is some sort of fresh fruit salad as a lighter dessert option. Can I come??
  • That's a good idea.  I didn't like how dessert was.  Maybe with some cool whip...

    And yes, you and your hubby are welcome.  Book your flights/hotel and I'll give you my address ;)

  • Sounds like a good menu.  I like the idea of fresh fruit as well...maybe a nice watermelon...that's a very 4th of July-ish fruit :)

  • Sounds like everything I look for in a barbeque! I second the fresh fruit though - summer fruit is sooo yummy that it can be dessert in itself.
  • Yeah, I'm definitely skipping the cake and going with some fruit.  Noms!  I'll have to see if I can find some good looking watermelon for sure.

    ... if anyone RSVPs to the party!  So far DH hasn't even said yes to the FB invite :(

    Don't worry, Panda, they'll respond eventually. You may have to track them down, though.

    I hosted my first barbecue a week ago. I sent out an evite in advance and the only people who responded were the ones who couldn't come. I had to email or facebook everyone else individually and they all said, "oh yeah, I was meaning to tell you I'm coming".
