Fruits would be nice, and the pigs in a blanket idea sounds good too. I don't know your guests, but i usually try to prepare parties as if people will expect food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-menu-sound-okay#post-1055125 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:11:49 +0000 chopsuey 1055125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do something savory.

I have no idea what to do for him, but if you're missing something, maybe you can use his character. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-menu-sound-okay#post-1055113 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:08:31 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1055113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Killer Croc who? But, Batman enthusiasts know would know it. Good name.</p> <p>So popcorn is out? Poison Ivy Pigs in a Blanket instead of potato salad to keep it more finger food-like. Could make green mustard for dipping to play up poison ivy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-menu-sound-okay#post-1055111 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:08:24 +0000 runsyellowlites 1055111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: You ladies are the only people I know that eat hummus... definitely not widespread around here. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-menu-sound-okay#post-1055108 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:07:20 +0000 mrsmate 1055108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Maybe instead of poison ivy potato chips, poison ivy hummus &amp; pita?

I think the sandwiches are fine as long as they're cute and small. That makes them more like an appetizer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-menu-sound-okay#post-1055099 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:04:37 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1055099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: the sandwiches make it sound like a meal to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-menu-sound-okay#post-1055096 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:04:22 +0000 runsyellowlites 1055096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe one of these?<br /> <b>Poison Ivy Pigs in a Blanket<br /> Poison Ivy Potato Salad<br /> Killer Croc Kebobs (fruit kebobs)</b></p> <p>Coming up with these names is harder than thinking of food! lol</p> <p>ETA: Sandwiches are staying.... the bat shaped item is important to G. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-menu-sound-okay#post-1055095 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:04:00 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1055095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: just snacks...the sandwiches are throwing off the snack vibe. Take those out and add sliced fruit or fruit salad or fruit kebobs. Fruit will be nice and freshing on a hot day. Batman Berry Bobs? As long as strawberry was provided the Berry Iis factual even if you mix in pineapple or watermelon etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-menu-sound-okay#post-1055087 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:02:33 +0000 kjpugs 1055087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think something non-dessert would be great! Maybe instead of Bane Brownies, Banes in a Blanket? LOL. You could tie in scarecrow too... I think some sort of pasta salad or pigs in a blanket would be great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-menu-sound-okay#post-1055077 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 09:58:45 +0000 swedishfish 1055077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mini hot dogs!

Something kids seem to all like is pasta salad or maybe some fruit kebabs.</p> <p>eta: if you don't want it to be a meal, then maybe cut out the sandwiches, and do another appetizer? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-menu-sound-okay#post-1055066 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 09:53:15 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1055066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Penguin Pops- I'd go with popsicle because it's hot where you live.</p> <p>I think what you're missing is a sandwich side dish.

I think the kids will love the menu, but the adults might like something else. Maybe potato salad or something along those lines? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-menu-sound-okay#post-1055048 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 09:43:55 +0000 runsyellowlites 1055048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have G's party this weekend (a combo of lego/dark knight batman) &amp; I'm not 100% sold on my chosen menu. The party is most kids age ranges from 2-10 &amp; the adults that are coming are family so they'll eat anything &amp; enjoy. The party is from 2-4:30 so I am <i>not</i> serving a full/real meal, but I still feel like I'm just serving snacks?....</p> <p>1. <b>Batarang Bites</b> (bat shaped sandwiches)<br /> 2. <del><b>Poison Ivy Popcorn</b></del><br /> 3. <b>Cat Woman Celery &amp; Carrots</b> (cups w/ ranch)<br /> 4. <b>Two Face Cookies</b> (duo oreos)<br /> 5. <b>Penguin Pops</b> (I was thinking those cheapie popsicles... don't kids love those? or just blow pops?)<br /> 6. <b>Mr. Freeze Ice Cream</b> (either mini blue bell cups or mini ice cream sandwiches)<br /> It should be noted that it's a billion degrees here right now so ice cream/popsicle options keep the kids cool while also keeping them out of our tiny house. lol<br /> 7. <b>Joker Juice</b> (purple lemonade)<br /> and maybe...<br /> 8. <b>Bane Brownies</b> (I'll make mini brownies in some of the baby food jars I still have left &amp; maybe paint the tops like Banes mask w/ green pipe cleaners around the jar to be his venom tubes)</p> <p>thoughts?<br /> (any suggestions have to come with a batman character/villain name to go with it)</p> <p>[attach=1400/13/mscmq5.600x448.image.jpg] </p>
