Get-Together Menus

Introduction:

I am starting this thread to give menus for get-togethers over breakfast, lunch, tea & dinner.
I will post the links in this thread itself.

I request you to post the feedbacks only in
http://www.indusladies.com/forums/ask-chitvish/776-chitvish-recipes-post-your-comments.html

This is to ensure that this thread has only menus without interruption. I hope you will find this thread useful.

You can also ask me, whatever you want only in the thread
http://www.indusladies.com/forums/ask-chitvish/558-ask-here-recipes-you-want.html

I plan to continue & give more detailed menus, depending on your feedbacks.
I will give the links in this thread as well as the Links thread.
I shall be updating the lists as I post more recipes, including them.

Please share your thoughts for me to go ahead.
Love,
Chithra.

Dear Friends,
I have framed some menus for breakfast, which can be planned, given 2 days' time.
I am giving 2 sweets & 2 savouries. I have planned in such a way that atleast 3 of them can be prepared the previous day & only the main item to be made & served hot. I also made sure the creals etc are not repetitive. This should be sufficient when you host 5, 6 people. I plan to build up gradually, with more dishes, for entertaining upto 10-12 people.
Please let me know if one more hot or chilled dessert is necessary.
Please share your thoughts with me in the thread
