Wedding Reception Menu Ideas for the Richards!

[BibleThumpinBlonde]

It has come to my attention that both Brother Don and Sister Victory are feeling a little overwhelmed at planning the menu for the reception. I would like your suggestions here. Then we will present them in a few days to the happy bride and groom.

I'm thinking quantity is important to them. Perhaps an entire roasted pig would be in order. I know all the Ladies of Landover are bringing a homemade dessert. We need to concentrate on side dishes. I think I can make an entire bathtub of my famous potato salad (the one that I include cucumber and bacon in).

What side dish can any of you bring? Please make your mind up quickly as the wedding is almost here!

I think several folks should bring green bean casserole.

What a nice suggestion. I think 10-12 lbs of it will do (10 of it just for the wedding party). Are you volunteering?

Well being that I'm St. Louis right now, I think we could pick up about 30-40 lbs or so of world-famous St. Louis BBQ pork ribs! The freezer on the RV is more than spacious enough to accomodate all this food! Why just tonight I had the most delicious, sweetest, tender, mouth-watering, succulent ribs at my life here at Roper's Ribs!

They are owned by a delightful and pleasant Negro couple, Carl and Denise Roper (seen below) and I will be sure to order enough for Officer Don and Sister Victory (as well as for any guests).



"Our great hickory smoked barbeque taste draws customers from California, Texas, and New York – literally throughout the United States and beyond its borders. We invest a great deal of time and effort in preparing our barbeque. Our meats are hand rubbed with our own special blend of spices and slowly smoked for 12 hours with hickory wood to create an exquisite flavor. We are known for our Baby Back Ribs, ST Louis Ribs, Pulled Pork, Rib Tips, Beef Brisket and Chicken. We are committed to serving the “Best BBQ in the Universe!”

Mmmm mmm good! Everyone at the wedding reception is going to love these ribs, if they can get to what is left after Brother Don and Sister Vic are done with them!

PS - Should I order 50 lbs to be on the safe side? I want to make sure the entire guest list is able to have some of these ribs.

Awwwww! That is soooo sweet and thoughtful of you! Do you think you could fit 80 lbs in your RV? I think we need at least 30-40 lbs for the happy couple and the wedding party and the rest for the guests. (I've seen them chow down in person. I took them to a congradulatory lunch at the Golden Corral - All You Can Eat Buffet and was shocked at awed at the amount they could put away. They cleared all the meat stations of meat in one sitting. You shoulda seen the look on the manager's face when they went back for more).

Please make sure when the invitations are printed that you spell the lucky couple's name right. The last name is Richards, not Richard. Some people are very particular about that.

Thank you for pointing that out. I think I will make you in charge of the printed menu, seating assignments and guest list.

I'll need to get a complete list of the guests and also the family members who are attending.

This is so exciting!

I've talked to the ladies who will be staying here at the Monthly Visitor that week, and each and every one (except one stuck-up, uppity so-and-so not to be named, who sits in the Turret Room all by herself the whole time she's here every month, because she's too GOOD for the rest of us) is willing to pitch in and bake a total of twenty Monthly Visitor Cherry Pies!!

Note: Since the ladies will be unclean, they always wear gloves when working in the kitchen. This way, they do not come into contact with any of the ingredients or the final product.

Uh...I'm uh....allergic, yea, I'm allergic to Cherries! I am so sorry, Sister Jenny, I'm just dying to try some of the cherry pies that you and your friends from the Monthly Visitor are making, but I can't afford to have the upset stomach, vomiting, and explosive diarrhea.

I've been permanently banned from gas station restrooms after indulging myself in cherries. Sorry.
