By way of explanation before anyone thinks I am cuckoo - !!!!
It's for the yr 6 parents of my daughter's school. The yr 6 is very special as the school is new and it is the first yr 6 to graduate - many of the parents helped build the school - physically - and lots of fathers were still decorating the classrooms days before the children started reception!!! When they began school - 4 yrs old and in bunches and big smiles weilding paintbrushes us mums were at the door sobbing and feeling so proud simulateneously. Most of the mums were pregannt with these graduates together and remember when eachother's chldrne first walk/spoke/vomited on them. So it is hugely emotional.
The ofifical graduation is next tuesday but as some childrne are going on to different high schools dh and I thought it would be lovely to do a farewell dinner party for all at which the headmistrees is guest of honour ( as a surprise to her).
But....... i need a menu! No pork, bacon or shellfish please as we are jewish and the parents attending largely are too. Also no dishes that combine milk and meat for hte same reason ( althhough I can do a pretty good job of converting them to milk free) . Any recipes where I can do a lot of prep the night before ( or nights before and freeze in advance ) would be especially good please.
Oh and I plan on 3 courses and will probaly have lots of people offering to bring things too.
Thanks!
