i'm throwing my best friend a dinner party for his 18th birthday this weekend, and i need help menu planning.
it's only something like 9 people, but two are vegetarians and one's a vegan, and i tend to overcook like crazy, so suggest everything!
the birthday boy does not like anything containing beef, a cream sauce, mushrooms, peppers or olives. i need probably 3 different main course dishes (since i usually just make a bunch and let people choose what they want), one being vegan (but it doesn't have to be like soy lentil tofu salad or anything), and containing none of the above ingredients. things that can be made into tapas-sized foods get a gold star!
he doesn't like chocolate, caramel or coffee in his desserts. what are your favorite desserts excluding those flavors?
18 here means he's legal to drink, but all our friends are either only 17 or driving home, so no alcoholic suggestions. mocktails are definitely okay though! what are your favorites?
also, what are your favorite cheesy r&b/rap/hip hop songs? i'm making a playlist! they don't need to be joke songs or anything -- just songs that make you go "why was this popular? this is awful!"
