Lou,I'll put you in charge of the pizzas and meatball sanwiches.8/15/09 3:00pm,Jackson,MS.See you then.LOL

Shelley

Congratulations to your son! You must be so proud.

As someone who would almost always be looking for a savory munchie rather than a sweet, I know I would appreciate the cheese straws and the nuts. If you choose to provide another savory option, I'd go with something made in a large pan that you cut into small squares - like chile/cheese bites or spinach squares, or maybe a spicy chex mix. Something easy to make and cart along.

I'll have to ask a friend tomorrow what her plans are for her Eagle Scout party. I helped her find a bakery for a special cake 2 weeks ago. She's going to have it done in layers, but 'carved' to look like a mountain and a hiker (him) climbing up each level of Scouts with an eagle at the top. I can't wait to see pictures of it when it's done being created.

If it were me..I'd order pizza..LOL and grill hot dogs and sausages.

The last Eagle Scout reception I went to had a taco bar set up and a dessert table with a couple of decorated sheet cakes.

This is to be immediately after the ceremony,it will not be a dinner,as each family/friends will do their own thing for dinner.We have Logans grandfather and uncle coming in from calif and Logan requested to have dinner at a nice restaurant on the resevoir.If it isnt to hot we can sit on the deck.Thanks for all the suggestions.

Shelley

All of the ones I've been to have been dessert-type receptions. They did have plates and forks because there was always some type of a special cake served with coffee and cold drinks. Most included additional desserts like brownies, cookies, tassies, etc.

Congratulations to your son!

Congratulations to Logan, Shelley, I know he worked hard to get that rank.

I think the menu sounds perfect for a bunch of boys, I never met one that didn't love cookies and brownies. If I added anything, it would be something savory, like those "pinwheels", those tortillas filled with cream cheese and salsa or whatever, and then sliced.

I was leaning toward meatballs or small cream puffs filled with ham or chicken salad, but if you're having a meal afterward, I think you won't need more.

Annie

WOW the boy I know is named Logan too....

I think if I was doing it and everyone was going to have a meal afterward with their families I would just do desserts that you could pick up and eat and maybe a fruit tray. You could do that with napkins and toothpicks for the fruit. It doesn't sound like anyone is expecting a meal.
Is anyone bringing something to drink?

yes there will be drinks,I dont know what,as of yet.Since everyone will go there separate ways thats why I wanted easy pick up food,and not everyone will want something sweet,thats why I wanted a few savory items.I am not a big sweet eater myself.Thanks for all the sugggestions.

Shelley

Our Eagle ceremonies were always evening events on a school night. Afterwards we just had cake with the Eagle emblem and the Scouts' names on it along with punch. Sometimes someone would bring nuts. We stepped the punch up a notch, not just some inexpensive punch. Some recipes use fruit juice, sherbet, etc.

Congratulations to your son (and you too!!--I know how it is). It's a fine achievement, and I know how proud you are.

Susan

Thank you all for the kind words.We are really proud of him,he is a pretty great kid,about,93% of the time.He put alot of thought and time into his ES project.He is almost 16 yrs old.

Shelley

Shelly: What about the other 7 % Is he a lot better ???

Well,Lou,the other 7% he can be a typical almost 16 yr old know it all.He gets that from his DAD.

Shelley

Shelley, congratulations on your son's accomplishments. At our son's eagle ceremony, we had 6 boys getting their eagle also so it was a long ceremony so I think the people attending were hungry afterwards. We had sandwiches cut in fourths, nuts, pop, and sheet cakes. We did not have coffee because it was in the evening.

LOL Shelly and congrats to Logan!

Another who is not a big sweets person so I would add a savory snack to the mix. I like Woodies suggestion of a savory square. If you were interested in making something like that I am sure that there are lots of recipes we could offer up. I also have a great recipe for a chex mix if you would like it.

You could always add a variety of chips and crackers for savory items. Easy. No prep!
