Rep Power: 10 | Holiday Entertaining
I'm having a holiday luncheon next month for my friends. I thought of doing it all 70's retro food.
The 70's was big on quiche, fondue and jello molds.
Does anyone have any ideas they would like to share?

Rep Power: 10 | Ok, the party is now getting out of hand. I had given out invites, but people are talking among themselves and others want to be invited. They are even asking me for an invitation. What started out as only 10 or so, has now grown to at least 25.
Think my game plan for food is changing quickly. Baked ham, some casserole type dishes, things that I can make in large baking dishes are starting to sound real appealing!
Any suggestions???

Rep Power: 10 | Are you still going for things from the 70's?
Swedish meatballs were big. Alton even did them on one of his shows for a 70's party. | |

Rep Power: 10 | At this point, the theme will be used somewhat, but not entirely. I want to make things that don't require a lot of watching over. The meatballs I could make ahead of time. That is another thing I am looking at...what can be made ahead of time.
I am going to have the jumbo prawns and my cocktail sauce for dipping. Those are always a big hit and you don't do anything other than defrost. I do squeeze fresh lemons and limes over them and add pieces of rind throughout. They are delicious!
May even do those cocktail weiners in my chili sauce. Those, too, are quite easy.
I'm sure I'll change my mind a hundred times (already have!) before I decide on a menu.
