Wow, Lee, that's quite a meal!
As for appetizers, I would keep it simple, given what's to come. Maybe some crudités and a simple dip (I recently had a hummus flavored with harissa). Also, I think chicken liver paté is reasonably kosher, and very good with cornichons.
While whole-wheat rolls sound good, I always like popovers with beef.

Please snap some shots of your dinner, if you can, Lee!

Hi Lee. Don't know to what degree your guests are keeping kosher, but if they really are, you can't serve any cream, whipped or not, for dessert.
Also, there's no kosher reason you can't serve fish, as long as it's a kosher fish, which actually most fishes are.
And as for the meat, if your kosher guests are going to eat it, it has to be kosher.
And if they are, no dairy products in any of the other dishes they are supposed to eat!
If your guests are very kosher, they won't eat the food, even if kosher, that's been cooked in your pots and pans. In that case, you can use disposable aluminium tins to cook in the oven.
Any more questions, you're welcome to ask.
Best wishes

Thanks for all your thoughts, friends! It has been great cooking today...I have kept my computer on the kitchen counter, just out of reach of flying food, lol (it is a white Mac after all). Great suggestion on the crudities Paul, that's exactly what I'll do. I have never had the courage to do popovers at this altitude, and my oven is a little temperamental, so it's somehting I'll have to try for a family dinner first.
Sason, my guests are just kosher in certain areas. They won't eat any pork or shellfish, but they love all dairy foods. My daughter explained to me that the prohibition against eating dairy foods with meat was a historical thing brought on by economics...it was not a good idea to eat the young animals but instead they should be raised to maturity first. (It sounded to me like a bit of rationalization, but I'm not complaining!)
Another thing is that, although fish are kosher, I can't serve it since one of my other guests hates fish of any kind; in fact she has to leave the house if she smells fish. It takes all kinds I guess.

Oy! If I had guests like that, the only thing I'd make for dinner would be ... reservations.
At a kosher restaurant, of course. ... ;)
