What should I make for dinner? (read details inside)?

Question

Every Wednesday a bunch of people come over from church and one of my roommates cooks for them. I offered to give her a break this week by doing the cooking. What should I make? It shouldn't be too fancy because I don't want to show up my roommate. She never fixes anything fancy. There are usually about 8 people.

Answer 1

Maybe some Chinese food like some fried rice mixed with peas and small chopped pieces of carrot.

Kung Pao Chicken and steamed rice... easy to feed the crowd.

all you do is make the macaroni... make a white sauce by throwing  some butter in a pot  and adding flour slowly  stir stir stir!

then milk when it is off the heat then stir like mad.  Add the cheese into the white sauce and finally the tuna (tin) pour over the macaroni and mix well then bake for about 30 Min's. Its always delicious and good comfort food.

Then a nice crispy salad with rocket and cucumbers and tomato's etc., :) enjoy!

Answer 24

Nice of you to consider her cooking talents.

How about a lasagna, with great garlic bread, a unique salad, and simple desert?

Try dill on your garlic bread - wonderful!

Add mandarin oranges, walnuts, craisins to your salad of fresh greens.

All very simple, yet a bit different.

For desert, offer ice cream with assorted cookies, brownies, small chocolates.

Good luck.
