Casual Fall dinner party ideas

Restrictions: budget and 'fussiness'.

I'm having about 8-12 people over for poker and general cavorting this coming weekend. I live in South Western Ontario, so the weather will be brisk (7 degrees C or 45 degrees Farenheit or so) and clear. This means while bbq is a possibility, it won't exactly be comfortable.

I'm serving dinner, but would not like to be overly stuck in the kitchen. I was thinking of roasting a bird, but we had Cdn Thanksgiving yesterday-so that might be a bit much. Chili was the next bet, but it seems...boring somehow. I was hoping for another idea that is not overly expensive. Good down home yumminess is fine, I've known these kids for 15-20 years (I'm only 30), so I don't need to impress with something extremely complicated.

The only other sticking point is a single vegetarian, but I can whip up something special for her.
