The meal today is basically whatever is left over from Christmas.
We do a big Antipasto layout on Christmas Day, and I think just on leftovers we have:
4 different kinds of olives
5 different kinds of cold items (e.g. roasted peppers)
6 different kinds of cheese
6 different kinds of meats (all pork! Perfect for this jew- my wifes family is itailian).
After we finished on XMAS I put everything in those food saver vacuum bags, so I hope it is still fresh. we also bough a new fresh mozzarella as everyone loves it and it all went on christmas day.
We will just lay this out for everyone to help themselves when they come over today.
For the main course, we have a full pasta course from XMAS eve that my MIL made, but we begged off, as we were too full from all the seafood. I think MIl is bringing trays of Manicotti, Stuffed Shells and Eggplant Parm, which I don't think were ever cooked. I think she also made a meat sauce with sausages yesterday to add to the course.
Probably the best use of leftovers in a long time.
