My daughter's gotta have some shrimp or it just ain't a party! Maybe some fingerling smoked potatoes, like baby bakers? or smoked potatoes duchesse - piped out little domes (thickened w/ egg yolk and parm) mashed potatoes given a little shot of smoke? scotch quail or small hb/devilled eggs? skewered chicken tenders - curry or souvlaki? sliders? smoked tomato and mozz bruschetta? These could be done ahead and served a bit warmed up or at room temp. just brainstorming here. There's nothing I love more than a party full of nothing but finger food (and lots of drinks ) Speaking of drinks, my kids love an Italian Soda station at parties - club soda, a bunch of different italian syrups and cream: cans (always fun for everyone), softly whipped, or just heavy cream. more fun than just soda pop. Keep us posted, I gotta have a bunch of parties in june for my graduate - I'll probably need all the help I can get!
