fruit kabobs!!
whats your budget??
Kabobs with chicken (marinate within teriyaki sauce) and on the same skewer put chunks of fresh pineapple, cherry tomatoes, green pepper and vidalia onion. If you use rattan skewers make sure to soak them within water for twenty-four hours so they do not burn up on the grill when you grill the skewers. This will smell great when it cooks and look pretty. Serve near simple rice pilaf or boiled and buttered potatoes.
Games= limbo, hola hoop, dancing near a bowl fruit on your head,
