Answer 5

Think about a fancy restaurant in your town - a seafood place, Italian, French, steakhouse - whatever you really like. Take a look at their menus, or look online, if available to see what sounds good.

You will want to start with an appetizer or salad of some kind, or possibly even a soup. Follow it with your entree, then your cake for dessert.

Appetizer/Salad examples:

- Tossed Green Salad (add cranberries, bleu or feta cheese, pecans, etc...) with a nice vinaigrette dressing

- Caesar salad (with or without shrimp)

- Shrimp Cocktail (can be very fancy)

Soup Examples:

- Lobster Bisque

- Clam Chowder

- French Onion

Entrees

- Pheasant, Duck or Lamb would be very nice, but might not be to your taste

- Filet Mignon or Surf and Turf (Steak with lobster, scallops or shrimp)

- Grilled or Roasted Salmon or Sea Bass

- Serve with roasted potatoes and vegetables

Most of these restaurants will offer take out service, so you can probably even just order ahead for your 5 meals and the food will already be prepared - you will only have to replate it and serve. Make sure to call a couple days in advance, though, if you are going to have the menus printed up. That way you can make sure that you get all the seasonal vegetables.

When printing the menus, take a look at some fancy restaurant menus and try to duplicate the look and print on a nice fancy stock - linen cardstock or a glossy cardstock - if your printer can handle that - would be best.

Hope this gives you some good ideas. Sounds like a great evening - have fun and happy birthday.
