Menu

I've been working on a loose menu for Saturday--hard to believe it's almost here--and we're having fish and pork, with a couple of dessert-type things that I'm getting at Marché. I know I've talked to some of you about bringing side dishes, and it would be great, fantastic, really, to get some contributions. We're going with a contemporary American style, so nothing especially fancy. Here's a list that might inspire you:

• Cheese and crackers, dip and crudités, or some other kind of appetizer thing
• Artichokes
• Asparagus
• Pasta for a potential pasta course
• Potatoes or rice
• Salad
• Spinach

These are just a few seasonal ideas I've hard, but I'm in no way committed to them. We're having 22 people, and it's my hope that we'll experience what I'm calling "the pot-luck phenomenon," in which people bring the amount they want to and we end up having more than enough.

 

Just let me know in the comments section here what you'd like to bring (if you're planning to bring something, which don't feel pressured to do so at all), and it'll be like a conversation instead of a blind groping for a plan. Finally, it would not be a tragedy to have more than one of any dish. 

Thank you, our friends.

Addendum: Many of you are already playing another role or bringing something else--please don't think of this plea as yet another thing you feel you should do.
