If you look in the top left of the picture you can see Lucia wryly laughing to herself at the prospect of having to eat whats in front of her... :) As it happens it was enjoyable, more so than I made out above.

Don't know a thing... go middle of the road with heat / spice and chunks of vegetables. I've cooked for the wife's bunco group a couple of times (12 people) and have found the "standard traditional stuff done with a bit of flare" work well. For me that means some chicken fajitas with a kick of chipotle seasoning and lime... or a hearty spaghetti sauce light on chunks of vegetables, but heavy on meat. But dessert is what they will remember... especially if you can get the weight watchers of the group going back for seconds... or thirds.

Try to make the dish as nice as possible, and otherwise, forget it. You'll drive yourself crazy, otherwise. In the photo it looks like everyone is happy, I say success!
