I think there's too much salad and not enough bacon
What kind of half-arsed day is that?
Baked beans come out of a can
With Heinz on the label
*fact*
This is why there's no such thing as British food tourism. Well, part of why.

Pre-log. Eat some of everything in reasonable portions.
Don't make enough food for 100 people if there are only 10 people at your house.
Re-think the menu a bit. Maybe do some grilled vegetables/fruits instead of salads.
Potato salad is somewhat sacred in my family so it would be a must have item. Baked beans are pretty standard. What is in a pea salad besides peas? I would jettison peas from the menu. Fruit salad could go too.
Skip all other food and just eat peach cobbler and vanilla ice cream.0 -

The pea salad is peas, boiled eggs, finely grated cheddar, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and some mayo to moisten it.
In an emergency, I could just eat a mound of brisket and then the cobbler and ice cream.0 -

You haven't figured out Memorial Day 2016 yet??? Pshaw...that's so fall 2014.
It's Independence Day 2017 that's going to be the REAL problem. I'm already clutching my pearls fretting over it.0 -

In for more bacon.
Smoked jalepeno poppers? They'd always make it onto any menu I'd be planning.
They could be the whole menu as far as I'm concerned.
Well, followed up with peach cobbler, of course.

I can get reasonable portions -- maybe unreasonable portions of the brisket and cobbler -- but then the stuff sits there taunting me for the rest of the day. Maybe prelogging will work, but it's harder than usual to stick to it.
The trick to staying slim while being a grazing animal is having at least one predator. Hire a contingent of angry, carnivorous wildcats to stalk you throughout the day. It will keep you moving. A fat zebra is a dinner zebra.
*nods* My predatory instinct is strong.
Back off the red, Tex. I'll let you become a fat dinner zebra.
I've read all of The Hunger Games. I feel prepared for this challenge.
