NBR: Recipe for disaster

myonetruelove

My friends and I get together every year for the holidays. We do dinner and a gift exchange. Typically we do it at our house, because we have the biggest one. One of my friend's wants it at her house and she wants everyone to cook there. We are 13 adults and five kids. Her Condo is about 200 - 250 sq feet area with furniture. This is the LR, Kitchen, and dinning room. Here is the menu (items that will be cooked/made):

MENU
APPETIZERS:
Bruschetta (Eva)
Meatballs (Patricia)

MAIN DISHES:
Breaded or Grilled Chicken Breast (Karla)
Basil & Prosciutto Halibut (Eva)

Does anyone else think this is going to be a disaster? I want to believe everything is going to be fine. I just imagine a mad house.

She seriously doesn't get it? Wow. Uhh with 18 people in a 250 sq ft area with furniture and there is supposed to be room for everyone plus cooking? I'd talk to your friend and explain the logistics to her. Maybe have a wine and cheese thing at her place later on but not a full on meal that everyone is supposed to cook.
