My sister has asked me to provide dinner for her group after Prom. They're staying in a hotel suite for the weekend, and are trying to keep costs down (it's already a very expensive weekend) so she's turned to her foodie-sister to help out.
Basically, I have to give them a dinner that could feed 10-15 people, for less than $50. They have a full kitchen in the suite, so they can reheat it, but it needs to be able to drive an hour to the hotel the day before they'll be eating it.
Any ideas? I haven't thought too much about it yet, still brainstorming. Prom is this weekend, so I have time to figure it all out, go shopping, etc.

OK.. so I'm making a chocolate cream pie (basically a homemade chocolate pudding/custard poured into a prebaked pie crust and chilled). It's been in the fridge for about an hour now and still hasn't set up. Is there anything I can do? I thought I had cooked it over the stove long enough, it said not to let it boil, and it was plenty hot....
I hope I haven't ruined it!

A local orchard/farm just notified me that their strawberries are ready for picking this year. I'm very excited, but haven't quite figured out what to make with them. Last year I made some good strawberry shortcakes, but would like to try something new this year. Any ideas? I normally come home with so many of them, there's not enough time to just eat them by themselves before they go bad.

About: I'm a soon-to-be college graduate with a degree in nutrition. I'm also a vegetarian. I love learning all about food, cooking, nutrition, and health.
Favorite foods: Definitely Italian food - pasta, pizza, etc. I love a good crusty loaf of bread, portabello mushrooms, sweet clementines, and anything chocolate-peanut-butter :)
Last bite on earth: That's a hard one. It might have to be the pappardelle with truffles I had last summer in Italy - one of the best eats I've ever had.
