Take advantage of the summer bounty of eggplants, peppers, tomatoes...it's good warm, room temp or even chilled. Serve with wedges of pita and optional shredded parm. Good veggie entree, as salad, or as a side. Tue Sep 13 11:54:34 -0700 2005 1484124 0 berkleybabe 1 1484233 Salads are always stables at office parties I've been to. Potato salad, pasta salad, chicken salad, green salad, etc. Something a little different, try roasted vegetable couscous. I just dice up some vegetables (combination of carrot, zucchini, squash, onion, etc.), roasted in the oven with salt, pepper and some olive oil, then mix the veges with prepared couscous (equal about of chicken stock and dry couscous - microwave stock till hot, add couscous, cover with plastic wrap, leave alone for 5 minutes then fluff with fork). I also like cheese/olive/fruit platter with some crusty bread. Tue Sep 13 16:54:51 -0700 2005 1484124 0 anna 1 1484254 Thanks to all for your help. Tue Sep 13 19:27:04 -0700 2005 1484124 0 annie
