| Veggie trays usually offer something we can eat. We also make pinwheels---roll ups. Using cream cheese, and various chiles, cheese, deli meats, etc. spread onto a very thin flour tortilla, rolled up and sliced. I can eat them, without problem...it is when I add liquid type things to the flour tortillas I have problems!!! Crackers & cheese are easy for bandsters to eat usually. In the frozen foods section you can find frozen rolled tacos, mini tacos, mini burritos, etc. All quick & easy to heat, we cut the rolled tacos into 2-3 pieces, so they are easy to dip, and eat. We make a queso dip for them. Not finger food, but easy for serving, without fuss---pulled pork BBQ for sandwiches. It is easy for others to eat, grab a bun, make a sandwich---for us skip the bun. We do all of these for our Superbowl parties! Cold --- you could have a variety of salads, like a bowl of chicken salad, egg salad, tuna salad, and have them all on ice, offer, a variety of crackers, add ons (olives, pickles), lettuce leaves, so they could roll it up. Melon is ok, if I eat is slow, and only a little bit of it. It is like eating and drinking together, and sometimes makes me feel like I am going to PB---but it never happens!!! It just causes a similar feeling. As for the shrimp being small, get some decorative long toothpicks, like they use to spear a burger....you can get them at a restaurant supply store, and make mini kabobs---spear a few together on the pick...would look nice and festive too! Play some happy music, have everything ready in advance... recruit some help if possible, and enjoy yourself!!! Take lots of pictures!! Kat
