Entertaining

I'm frying up the shrimp in butter,olive oil and garlic in my giant cast iron skillet, and I have the cobs of corn simmering in the stock pot, I made hush puppies earlier (with diced onion and diced jalapenos), the buttery mashed potatoes with a little of the potato skin in the mix are warming on the stove, the white country gravy with fresh peppercorns is hot and steaming. I started the spinach greens about eight hours ago, using bacon and onion with some paprika in there as well, and the whole neighbourhood knows I'm cooking. The apple cobbler with crumb topping is just about ready to come out of the oven. I think everything is all set. But, here's the question. What should we have to drink?

I am going on a camp with scouts and so we arent going to have and oven, and we will have limited equiptment, but i cant think of anything.
the rules are that you must make a two course meal - either entree and main, or main and desert. Both of these dishes must include tomato in them, and you get extra points for origionality and inginuity.Also, the courses must stick to a theme. For example, italian or mexican.
I was thinking that I shouldnt do italian or mexican, because everyone would do that, but maybe if i do a fruit salad and serve it in a scooped out tomato skin, the leaders might give me extra points. but then what should i do for the main? and what could i class fruit salad under?
If you have ideas or tips, that would be greatly appreachiated!!!!

I've called it dinner my whole life and personally think the word supper is overdoing it and very corny/annoying.

I sat down at a restaurant the other evening, and as I was enjoying my grits and hog jowls, out of nowhere, someone walked up to my table, grabbed one of my jowls, and started rubbing it in my hair, then put it back on my plate, and said...."That's what I think of your friggin jowl"
You know, that really upset me, I should have reported it, but I didn't. I can't get it off my mind!
I have really bad dandruff you know, and I was forced to waste my perfectly good jowl, darn that guy! I don't like wasting such good chow!
what should I do? If I just didn't have this darn dandruff!!!

I have recently opened a bar in the town I live in... I am looking for ways to bring customers into the establishment. Something fun and entertaining. I will be bringing in bands, but I am looking for other ways to get them in there. The previous owner had a brash personality and ran quite a few customers away... I am looking to bring them back with more than just a "Under New Management" sign. Any ideas?
