Of course if I can pull it all off … it would have to be attributed to divine intervention.

You do know it's not really about the food, right? Since you don't cook, let HoneyBaked Ham (or whatever restaurant or grocery fits the bill) cook the ham or turkey. Grab sides from the deli (or the grocery deli) or from local restaurants. You don't have to microwave to reheat, you can put things in your own pots/pans/baking dishes and heat on the stove or in the oven.  Side dishes, rolls, desserts, whatever. Grab some olives and pickles and plop 'em on a pretty dish or in bowls. Above all, make it easy for you . . . and your guests  . . . to relax, visit, and have a good time.  You can do it! (Because Jesus will do it -- He's a perfect host and a perfect guest!!) How thrilling, Randy! You do know it’s not really about the food, right?
