Help cooking for 200 people

03/14/06 		I am catering an event in 3 weeks for 200 guests. The menu is BBQ pork or chicken, baked beans, potato salad and a fruit bowl with cantelope, honeydew, strawberries, and grapes for dessert. Can you please let me know how much meat, beans, potato salad and fruit I will need to pull this off without too much left over?

A really good "sauce" for the fruit salad:
1 gallon plain yogurt
1 cup honey
1 1/2 tablespoons mace
2 tablespoons real vanilla extract.
Stir and let stand overnight in fridge.
