Feeding 20+ people

in Babies on the Brain

For the long weekend my whole family is going to my sister's IL's cottage and the next door cottage belongs to my aunt. There will be about 20-22 people.

Everyone is in charge of 1 meal, we have a schedule. You are in charge of planning, cooking and cleaning that one meal and then you are done for the weekend.

We got saturday night dinner.

I am making a turkey before hand, will have it all carved and it will be served cold with a greek pasta salad, a macaroni salad, coleslaw and buns. Buffet style.

We are trying to keep it relatively simple.

What do you think? Should I add anything else? Would you make gravy in case anyone wants it?

    Sounds perfect.

    I say no to gravy, but that's mostly because I don't like it.

    Sounds yummy. I would make gravy or cranberry sauce, something to add moisture.

    I wouldn't mess with gravy, especially if you're serving the turkey cold. 

    Also this post made me realize I haven't fed myself today, and now I'm starving.

    This.  Turkey can be pretty dry, more so if you refrigerate it before serving. 

    Batman likes to watch cartoons on the weekends. Whatever.

    Good points and I make a mean gravy, it would be nothing to do and just heat it up and serve.

    That sounds great. If it were me, I'd switch out one of those sides for mixed fruit or veggies. Or I'd just add that on. Just in case someone likes more plain, undressed food. But I'd definitely eat all of what you wrote!

    I'd definitely do the gravy. Other than that, it all sounds delicious!

    It all sounds yummy, but I don't know about having Greek pasta salad, macaroni salad, and coleslaw all at the same time. Two pasta salads and 2 mayo-y things seems pretty heavy to me. How about replacing one of those with a lettuce/spinach salad instead?
