Oh, it went VERY well; thank you for asking!

Took everyone's suggestions here to heart and added some stratas to our menu, using a recipe called 'strata' that was technically more of a traditional bread pudding in construciton. We served: a baked 18 pound whole ham, scored and basted with orange marmalade, rosemary/mushroom/chive and potato frittatas (ended up having to toss about 35% of the potatoes, so supplemented the good ones with frozen), artichoke/sausage and cheddar bread puddings, blueberry and cornmeal muffins, espresso-cinnamon coffee cake (loved loved LOVED this) and two huge turkey platters of cut canteloupe, watermelon, red grapes and kiwi fruit. On each table received a pitcher of apple-cherry cider (about 65/35 apple, so the juice was a pretty pale coral color with sliced fresh jazz apples and cinnamon sticks, and we served GOOD fresh ground coffee, swiss process decaf and had real half and half for those who like theirs that way (as compared to the Folgers and Coffee Mate the Clubhouse is supplied with, which wouldn't have cost us a thing). Including the cost of thick paper plates and clear plastic juice cups which we didn't have an adequate reserve of, we served 75 people for $366.

And Lou thought it couldn't be done. :)

Sounds wonderful. Glad it went well and that the potato snafu was not worse.
