:
: We would love your input on our menu. We
: can figure out the amounts from the
: wonderful charts on this site. We would
: just like to know if this sounds like a
: balanced, fun and unique meal for our
: friends.
:

: tables end to end will hold)

: cabbage cups. We will purchase the veggies
: already cut in bulk from Sams.
:
:
: Marinated Jumbo Shrimp with Lemon Slices (We
: are using a large cut glass punch bowl
: filled with ice then mounds of Shrimp on the

:
: Platters of Popcorn Chicken with Barbeque
: Sauce (bought hot that day from Publix Deli)
:
: Feijoida, rice, mandarin oranges. This is a
: last minute addition after the other food
: was planned. The bride is Brazilian and
: wanted something from her culture. Feijoida
: is the Brazilian National Dish. She is
: making it ahead and freezing it. It is
: quite expensive to prepare as it includes 3
: or 4 types of meat so she is just making
: enough for everyone to have a taste. We
: will include the very small 1/2 cup bowls by
: the Feijoida as it is juicy and would run
: into the other food on the plates ...plus
: that will help control the serving amount.

: Assorted candies including gumballs, purple
: Jordan almonds, purple dark chocolate kisses
: and passion fruit swizzle sticks, wedding
: mints and mixed nuts.
:
: Also on the dessert table will be special
: Brownies baked by the bride decorated with
: their initials, and passion fruit truffles
: made by the bride. She is making these
: ahead and freezing them.
:
: We are purchasing Cheesecake Squares and
: Italian Butter Cookies from a local bakery
: to complete the dessert choices.
:
: The wedding cake is a white cake with
: strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream
: icing.
:
: We will serve our cold beverages in the
: trendy Beverage Dispensers. One will be
: Iced Tea with Lemon and Lime slices, the
: other will be Lemonade with Blueberries and
: Strawberries. We will serve hazelnut
: (groom's favorite) and dark roast coffee
: with assorted creamers, sugar and splenda.
:
: I am concerned with how the Feijoida fits in
: with the other foods but it is the Bride's
: day. Should we try to change some of the
: other dishes to better fit? If so, what
: would you substitute?
:
: Would love another's fresh look/opinion.
: The wedding is 1 month away so we still have
: time to make changes if needed.
:
: Thanks so much!
