I'm making my way over...it sounds delicious. I always tend to over cook or prep because I hate hungry guests so I like your menu. Do you have enough time to get everything organized? If you don't get to an item then it will be okay too.

I should be good. The party is Saturday and I have Thrus/Friday off. So other than taking the doggies to the vet and taking them to the kennel everything is about the party... the house is pretty much clean so not that much to do.

Should I add another desert? Or main dish?

Sounds yummy! We had a housewarming party when we first moved into my mom's new house. It was so much fun and people brought us some cool gifts. even though we said no gifts.

I think having a meat and a chicken choice is good and three desserts should be plenty.
