Fennel and a dash of Pernod put a sophisticated stamp on the classic chilled potato soup. You can make the roast beef sandwiches up to six hours ahead; just keep them well-wrapped in the refrigerator. The pasta salad gets loads of flavor from feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and fresh marjoram. Chewy tropical-fruit bars taste great with a glass of frosty iced tea.
