- pounds of pasta
- quarts of tomato sauce
- heads of lettuce
- handsful of pecans to toast
- heads of broccoli and cauliflower
- pounds of apples
Extra credit question: what is the area required in the refrigerator for the leftovers, even after you have packed up all of the remainder of one kind of baked pasta for the kids as they leave, if you overestimate each and every item on the menu? By a factor of two?
I will say, in my defense, that (1) there will be no need to cook tomorrow, since there is plenty of food, including dessert, and (b) we had a swell time and everything tasted splendid. Check with anyone.
Um. 20? I am a vast overcooker myself. Perhaps 1 pound of pasta per person is extreme.
