My neighbor said I should cut back on the food, but the first thing I suggested cutting was Mac and Cheese ( I really don't think it belongs) and she said "You have to have macaroni and cheese!", so cutting back is not a good option. I did drop the Jello because the only person who ate it sadly had a stroke and won't be joining us.
That's nice of you to do for everyone. It sounds like a lot of work! Do you start a few days before? How many people do you typically have? When you first started doing these dinners, did you just make what you wanted? Or did you ask everyone what they wanted right off the bat?
