One day I'd like to make a Beef Wellington or a Standing Rib Roast, but I just don't have parties that large... I take a large pan of ribs to other people's parties on request... If I do have a large group, it is usually over the holidays and with a lot of kids... Traditional turkey and ham go over better with small children than something like Beef Wellington...

But, I have made surf and turf (lobster tails and a small steak filet) for special occasions... I also have a Mediteranean Lamb and Green Bean Dish I'll make that is fairly simple but has very unusual spices in it and tastes wonderful... I'll substitute pork for the lamb depending on who is visiting...

I have friends that are always trying new recipes and I am jealous. I generally stick to tried and true recipes, mostly family favorites and things I've made for years... I'll break out once in a while with a new recipe... I took a corn salad to a picnic recently that I got the idea from on the Food Network... Was a big hit, it was unusual...
