Here's a challenge for you folks. I've invited two couples over for dinner next week.

Sounds good but I wouldn't be able to garnish with onion, peanuts, mint etc

Also couldn't serve in lettuce cups.

Thanks, Cathy.

 
Rec: Louisiana Deviled Crab Cakes. As Sylvia posted above #20330

I made these for my Dad and I (he was 86 at the time) and he had difficulty swallowing but loved them and managed to eat most of one (fork the crab good).

For a starter, lobster bisque. A side of rice pilaf or mashed taters and creamed corn?

Edited to say maybe a nice creamy tomato soup for a starter in lieu of lobster bisque.

Everyone garnishes their own plate with all those things.....you don't pile on

top of the ground meat in a serving dish. A person takes lettuce if wanted, then stacks everything on. The person who can't have all the rest simply wouldn't stack or use lettuce. Easy.

 
I have to say as someone who has had Cathy's Laarb dinner....

Everyone makes his own dinner. It is a beautiful thing. You eat what is good for you, you leave what isn't. Pretty simple. And very good!

 
Richard, what a treat that must have been! Cyn, I make Cathy's recipe about 3/mo

We love it. Very healthy, and flexible. The flavors are amazing! I think there are posted pics from Cathy's dinner w/ Richard. You can be flexible with the extras. For example, while you can cut veggies in match stick size, you could probably grate some veggies on a special plate for your friend to try. Grated onion, carrot, Grated cucumbers, etc. I think it would work!

You are very kind to put so much thought into a nice evening with your friends. It sure would be easier to make pasta! It is thoughtful of you to make it special for everyone!

Thanks again Cathy for a wonderful recipe!

not fancy, but maybe a baked potato bar with some creamy toppings or taco meat, very fine

hamburger stoganov or something similar. the baked potato should be soft enough for him.
