Jackie – thanks for the great ideas! I just got back from my camping trip and am just reading your comment now. So I guess I will have to try some of these the NEXT time the whole family comes up! :)
Since I panicked wondering what to make my guests, I made EVERYTHING. No theme, no thought as to which dishes would complement each other.
I made:
Black Cherry Ice Cream
Strawberry Ice Cream
Raspberry Sauce for ice cream
Nectarine & Raspberry Galette
Pork and Chive potstickers
Olive Cheese Bread
Stuffed Mushrooms
Pajun (korean seafood pancake)

I might’ve went overboard. But I’ll hafta explain why in a post soon!
