Breaking the Fast Soiree

So the orientation for school is this saturday, but the numb nuts over at the culinary school picked out the most holy day (for jews, that is) of the year to have their oreintation. And this isn't something one can just skip because we get our tools, uniform, schedule and not to mention, i hope a map because i got lost there just on the tour! Anyhow, i go to make-up orientation next week, but on Saturday is yom kippur and at night, my dad is hosting a "breaking the fast" party type thing. My dad's live in girlfriend is probably going to be more in charge of what's being served than i am, but i asked my dad if i could be in charge of a few dishes for the sake of our guests paltettes (shes a terrible cook!). So i need to think of big crowd type dishes to serve. Not sure yet what to do, but ive been surfing the net of my favorite cooking and food sites to be inspired. I am not fasting, i have a hard time not eating or drinking cause your actually not suppose to drink as well, but i dont want the first meal after the fast to be to heavy on the stomach. So i am thinking about light but yummy things. Watching top chef, i was inspired to maybe consider the smoked salmon mousse (its buffet style so appetizer-like things are better)which is really easy and quick to make. simply blending smoked salmon, cream and cream cheese until evenly smooth in a blender and serving it on cucumber slices and maybe a nice roasted vegetable terrine. I am not sure yet, havent done the shopping for it yet soanybody has any suggestions feel free to throw em at me. I promise to post the party pics and of the final spread i end up making. BTW: that picture is the dinner buffet spread of my cousin's house. they live in a rural town in Israel and my dad is usually so fasinated the rustic-ness of it all that he took pictures of the most simple things, like this dinner. It was very delicious and healthy i might add.
