Re: christening food

We had ours catered. The catering place provided a cheese platter for before the hot food. I also went out and bought a bunch of hot appetizers that the waitresses cooked for us before the party started. They waitresses walked around and and served them before the hot food was served. I had the party catered at my mom's house so we had access to a stove.

We had the following hot food catered for dinner:

fire roasted steak
linguini and clam sauce
Salmon with fresh tomatoes
chicken w/ peppers, artichoke hearts, mushrooms & capers in a wine sauce
penne ala vodka

I forgot to add bread, salad, and a tray of rice.


We had a cake for desert that the caterer supplied and I also went out and bought a bunch of cookies from an Italian bakery.
