Gracious - i have scheduled myself for a double-whammy! This weekend i'm hosting two dinner parties; my brain is swirling with all of the menu planning. Things are especially interesting - Sunday's dinner party will be significantly less formal, and less vegan, than Saturday's party, so i have to keep my styles seperate. Saturday we'll have 8 or 10 people, Sunday there will be 8.

I'm trying to decide on desserts for each.... Saturday night i'm looking for fruit/nut based ideas, advance prep is a necessity, and easy on a lactose-intolerant tummy are my requirements. Sunday it should be easy, made in advance, and yummy. Any thoughts?
