dont think i am doing a salad.

rolls- i am up in the air.

my dinner is sort of based around a "hawaiian" theme. (see my post in the general forum for the menu)

what kind of rolls would you do? would you those hawaiian sweet rolls in the orange packaging? (i forget the brand)

Not much meat per person unless all young kids or older people , after allowing for bones and skin, and cooking shrinkage. If boned out thighs OK.(bone in 3/4 lb.pp ave.)

PS Those Kings Brand Hawian Sweet Rolls are Good but expensive. At $3.00p total food cost allowance you cant afford .25 for a roll.Then add the butter.:D
