Party Time

Looking for an easy menu for a summer party? Here's what I served this past weekend to a group of 12:

Kalua Pork

Tomato Phyllo Pie

Thai Style Peanut and Cabbage Salad

 

Corn Muffins (OK, I cheated here and bought these ready-made from a local restaurant/catering business.)

Poached Pineapple Sundaes with Cinnamon Wontons

 

The best part about this menu was that everything could be made ahead, so I had plenty of visiting time with our friends. I started with poaching the pineapple at about 10:00, moved on to preparing the pork (which roasts for 3 hours), whipped together the Tomato Phyllo Pie, and finished with the salad. By the time the guests arrived, everything was ready. I even managed to get dinner served by 8:30--and that's early for me.
