  Ha ha.  It's over (thank GOD).  It was last night.  I swear i don't know what in the HELL I was thinking trying to make that much food and being due to have a baby in 2 weeks.
  

  It was fun though...it was an all-ladies night  dinner so I had LOTS of help when it came to setting up and clean up.  I tried very much to keep it simple but even simple can be hard when it's 100+ people!
  

  Let's just say I woke up this morning EXHAUSTED. Not sure this menu qualifies as a dinner party since it's a lighter fare, but we were all full, that's for sure!
  

  The menu - ALL COLD (except dessert):

  *Greek Salad

  *Tri-colored Mediterranean Pasta salad w/ feta/marinated artichokes/kalmata olives/etc.

  *Meat platters w/ 4 types of meat

  *Cheese platters w/ Swiss, Muenster, Pepper Jack, Provolone, Cheddar, Havarti
  

  *Marinated Grilled Veggies - Eggplant, carrots, zuccini, roasted red pepers, yellow peppers, portobellas, asparagus, onions

  *Insalata Caprese - Mozarella, Basil, Tomatoes and EVOO
  

  *Antipasto platter - Chevre w/ peach & apricot preserves, Brie, Tapenade (I ended up making it myself and it was WAY cheaper), hummus, Taziki sauce, capers, marinated artichokes, grapes, pears
  

  *Breads/Crackers - Pita, Ciabatta, Baguette, Rosemary bread, assorted crackers

  *Sparkling lemonade punch
  

  * 2 Chocolate FOUNTAINS (White and dark) Oh yeah baby!!!! - Marshmallows, pretzels, strawberries and caramels for dipping

  The meat and cheese platters were ordered and i put two other people in charge of Greek and Pasta Salads. Everything else I made.  Oh and someone else set up and did all the chocolate fountains cuz I wouldn't have known what in the HECK I was doing!

  Whew.
