Answer 11

If you don't cook much....I would not stress myself on food preparation for a nice luncheon.  You need to look forward to the get together....not what you are going to take.  In that case, I would, depending on what is available to you in your town.....go to the market and check your possibilities.  How about an already prepared fruit plate, shrimp plate, or frozen ice cream cake?  You can take it home and put it on a nice serving plate if you wish....(Put your name on the bottom)......  All done.  Now you can get ready for your socializing with your friends.  Don't worry....it is easy........take care.
