[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 687146, member: 18516"] I'm wishing the weather here would warm up a little bit more. Don't get me wrong, 50 degrees is much better than sub zero! They say Friday it will get up to 75! I do love spring and hearing the birds singing their morning songs in perfect harmony. Yes Pasa, you should go and have some of that wonderful cake! While you are at it, have a piece for me too ;) I hosted an 80th birthday party for my mother-in-law and we had about 200 people. I did all the cooking. I own several crockpots and 2 large roasters. They were invaluable for this shin-dig. If you do not own these things find out where you can borrow some or buy some (they are not terribly expensive) If you are not inclined to cook everything there are ways to achieve a nice buffet. I make wonderful homemade meatballs and made them a few weeks in advance and froze them. You can also buy pre-made meatballs and make your own sauce or buy ready made sauce. If you have access to a Costco or Sam's club I would go there. You could have one roaster for the meatballs and another roaster for pasta. Penne pasta is a good one. You might need 3 to 4 pounds for that many people. Cook the pasta to al-dente then mix well with sauce. You can make it really easy on yourself and buy a bunch of fried chicken and then make some homemade potato salad. Many grocery stores have fried chicken but you would need to get your order in soon. A lot depends on your budget. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
