Hi all,

I will be in charge of some items for a Oktoberfest menu for 25 and hoping someone can look over what I've calculate for guantities to make sure I have enough for everyone. I've never cooked for this big of a crowd before.
Their will be 16 adults (6 big eaters), 7 teenagers, & 2 tots.

1 12 1/2 pound bone-in boston butt braised in riesling with apples, prunes & curants
4 1/2 quarts of potato salad=about 7 lbs potatos?
4 1/2 quarts of red cabbage=about 4 2lb. heads cabbage?
6 quarts of a carmilzied vegtable soup? This will be severed as app. in small paper coffee cups.
3 Apple Stack cakes (store bought)

Other folks will be making a macaroni gratin & some sort of green, and the appitizers.

Do my quantities sound correct? Please help! The cooking starts tomorrow for this weekend.:crazy:

Butt not enough figure 8 raw ounces pp
Cabbage add 2 or 3 more lbs as it cooks down a lot.
figure a little more pot salad, its cheap and will fill them up
