Big dinner notes

[msmemory_archive]

Notes for next time:
Drinks in pitchers. Surely we can whittle down our offerings to two or three cocktails in addition to wine so jducoeur is not bartending individual drinks but can premake a pitcher of 8 poma-tinis. Also if making individual drinks, a second or third shaker would be handy.
More meat. Also perhaps a volunteer to carve who's better at it than I and would get more yield. I feel bad that we seem to have run out of meat, especially since the joints still had more that could've been cut.
Bake the potatoes longer/hotter. Overcooking is not as big a crime as under, with taters.
Salt & pepper shakers. D'oh. Just because *I* eat low-sodium....
Salad dressing in a gravy boat or a glass bottle.
Find the dadgum cheese spreaders, too. Though butter knives sufficed.

Carving is certainly a task easily handed off. You had at least one knife expert and two surgical practitioners on hand. Plus a spate of gentlemen who are all likely happy to express prowess at the time honored art of taking sharp things to dead animals. *grin*
