I have no idea how many people were here last night, but we skipped the calamari and went with cooked shrimp that was in the freezer, and I'm glad I wasn't trying to fry with everyone there.
I also did a ham (the precooked kind you just reheat) and served it sliced with bread on the side for sandwiches and had a veggie platter. The brie was mainly gone, the soup about half, and the goat cheese was untouched as were the cheese shortbreads which I found odd. I wound up also making puff pastry sausage rolls which were a big hit. My friends didn't know you could make them yourself.
A great night with friends although it was a lot of different worlds colliding so I spent a fair bit of time just making sure everyone was talking to each other.
