* pork pot stickers
* prawn egg rolls
* bread sticks wrapped in bacon (our own silly NY's tradition)
* a large cheese, fruit & crackers platter
* possibly, something with crab meat
* homemade gravlax with dill and capers
There probably will be more starters, but I haven't given it much thought yet (tomorrow is when I officially am going to think of it).
I was thinking of making a late night sit down dinner of green salad, porterhouse steaks, prawns sauteed in white wine and roasted asparagus, but now that it seems that we may have more people over than I thought AND having been inspired by Jerzee and Perky's descriptions, I'm actually thinking of pork & sauerkraut with mash (plus, I could also use all the luck I can get), and I was thinking of maybe smoking some sausages and throwing them in as well. Speaking of which, @Perky or @Jerzee - do you use pork loin or shoulder for yours? I have both and can't decide which one I'd like to use (although OH is strongly pulling for the shoulder). I can still go with the steak & prawn dinner for the eve, and pork & sauerkraut for the day, we'll see.For dessert, I'm thinking of making my Gran's Zebra cake with chocolate ganache - haven't made this one in a long time.
