50 invited. I expect 30-40. The one request I'm making is if people want to bring anything, that they bring fruit, which is a last minute PITA to cut up.
Brunch isn't until 10 and I have two ovens.
Muffins: done in advance.
Grapefruit quickbread (Smitten Kitchen, loooove that recipe): done in advance.
Bacon, maybe sausages: done in advance.
Sourdough bread: done (by Perry) that morning, he'll sign up for oven time. Bread will proof in the fridge overnight.
Cheese platter: done in advance.
Fake food but everyone loooove them caramel delights: prep overnight, oven time in morning.
Scones: mix and bake in the morning. Flour/levening will be premixed, so no thought necessary.
Starbucks Travelers for the coffee, I can handle the tea.
The big last minute is scrambled eggs, but I have two pans, and Perry will help.
I'm still figuring out paper/plastic vs renting plates and silverware, and I'll "hire" Anne-Chloe and the teenager next door as unskilled labour (note that Perry is skilled labour on this one!).
One important thing: AC's espresso machine will be PUT AWAY. I do not want to get into the espresso drinks for everyone mode, THAT would be a pain!
I just hope my deck is done by then. :)
