Enoy your guests--the menu looks fantastic

Looking forward to recipes post-weekend. Especially the smoked oyster roll--intrigued...... Also curious how you set up a sundae bar in summer smileys/smile.gif
How many people?

BTW, if you haven't tried Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit vodka, you're missing out.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE grapefruit cocktails and I could drink (ok, full disclosure-have drunk) this straight, it's that good. Real grapefruit juice, spring water, 10x small batch vodka. So good. The local liquor store was out of Absolut Grapefruit so I tried this one. Don't think I'll go back to Absolut....

Hope you have great weather and a great time!
