My Italian vegetable dip (with assorted vegetables on a platter) and Boeuf Bourguignon would defiantly not work for Dinner.

Sorry I misunderstood.
No problem - actually, it means I understood the implicit meaning of your suggestion, and I'm quite happy to know I did that correctly - just got the context wrong

But yes, I was thinking "dinner" - just things that doesn't need a lot of last minute work, and preferably could include Puy lentils somewhere in the menu. And since we'll be only five, a buffet style dinner wouldn't feel right. Maybe it's a cultural thing but it would feel odd not to have a shared dinner.
