Suggestions for food at a large picnic for about 75 people.?
600.00 is going to be tough. Consider a finger food bar, like a buffet. Furnish the fixins and folks serve up what they want. I would say, several spreads, 2 different breads, crackers (captains) for sides, a nice selection of chips, nature trail mixtures like checks and you know the mixtures in one bag. And whatever else would be a decent side like potatoe salad and cole slaw. Go with pudding, finger jello and cookies. Then the drinks, have a few punch bowls and fill with several different punches. This would make a superb finger food bar, and this is most commonly used for entertaining at museums and gatherings such as speaches and such. Lay the food out on one or several long tables, use plastic, or paper food plates, and cups. Napkins and so forth. Make sure you have a variety of dips. 600.00 can go a long way by doing this. Buy your food at a wholesaler and get someone to lay it out elegantly, you should have enough to buy a nice salad mixture and the dressing. If you have a business license or know someone with one a, wholesale food place would be more than happy to help you. You may have some left over. You would be surprised at the amount of folks that prefer this, they can choose and pick. I have done several of these type of events, I have never spent more than 300.00 with 150+ folks attending. I got many compliments on it. These are ideas, but like I say don't try to serve meals, I am afraid 600.00 will not go very far.

Leopard Gecko feeding?
I want a leopard gecko and in order to get one I have to give basically a presentation on exactly how I would be taking care of it. I've been reading alot of information on proper care and have only one problem so far. Originally I was going to feed the gecko mealworms mostly BUT I've been seeing that they have a bad phosphorus to calcium ratio, even with gut-loading. I do NOT want to feed my gecko crickets. Is there another good, healthy option?
What goes with corn bread?
I'm really surprised that people are just offering suggestions and not getting into fistfights LOL. Let me start by saying that there is a huge debate, North vs South, on whether corn bread should be sweet or not, as in regular bread made with corn. If you are talking about the sweetened corn bread, it goes great with ANYTHING. Eggs, ham, brisket, stews, soup, fruit salad, beef, pork, sometimes I serve it to folks hot out of the oven with a little butter and honey drizzled on it for coffee. For a recipe? Since you are new to cooking go to the store and get a few boxes ( because you will love it) of Jiffy cornbread mix for muffins. It is so easy and fast and cheap it's unbelievable. Corn bread recipes call for heating a cast iron greased pan in the oven until smoking hot and putting the mix in then returning to the oven etc. etc. Make a couple batches of the Jiffy ( 15 minutes) first so you can get your " sealegs" and then go for the complicated method if you want ( I'm betting you'll think this is so good that you won't) Welcome to the world of cooking!!! ** I had to chuckle at your post GP. I'm from Canada and have always made scratch cornbread. We spend the winters in Vegas and I discovered Jiffy three years ago. I looked at these plastic wrapped bundles of 6 boxes of mix with a price of .99 I thought well, I didn't really need six boxes but what the hell, it doesn't go bad so I went up to the cashier expecting to pay 6 bucks and found out it was .99 for the six!!!!!!!!!!! I just about fell over. Needless to say, those first ones didn't go bad because they lasted two days LOL I bring two cases back with us every spring and people are always pumping me for my ' recipe' hee hee. Can't buy it here... ( any Canadian grocers listening????????) ** O.M.G. how could I have forgotten fish, as in fried catfish with hushpuppies? ( deepfried corn bread) ** p.p.p.p s. LOL. For everyone that is giving Justin the thumbs down, cornbread batter is how they make corndogs and I do think they are one of my favorite things. ( I have to only eat them at fairs and not make them at home or I'd be 500 pounds)
Can I make a meatloaf with just egg whites?
you can make a turkey meatloaf with only the whites. two whites will have about the same amount of egg as one whole egg. abetter solution is to use a product like egg-beaters.
