The Most Urgent Question of the Day

[Bertha Venation]

What dish should I take to a potluck? Ideas? Or -- what's your favorite dish to take to a potluck?

Thanks!

[arcane1]

1. My favorite dish to bring is wine.

[cyberswede]

2. A quick dish

2 bags of frozen corn, 1-2 blocks of cream cheese (depending on how much "sauce" you want - I use 2), one stick of butter, put it all in a crock pot for a few hours, stirring occasionally, till it's hot/melted.

Not healthy, though.

[Bertha Venation]

3. Yeah, slightly unhealthy.

But it sounds good.

[cyberswede]

4. For a healthy option

Apple Walnut Salad

3 Apples chopped (Gala or Red Delicious)
3 teaspoons Lemon Juice
1 cup Chopped Celery
½ cup Chopped Walnuts
¼ cup Raisins
3 teaspoons Honey
1½ cup Plain Yogurt
(or use 1½ c. vanilla yogurt and skip the honey)

Mix it up right before you serve it (or the walnuts might get kinda soft)

[In_The_Wind]

9. That sounds yummy.

I already have everything I need.

[KMOD]

5. eggplant parm

or baked ziti.

[mysuzuki2]

6. Bag of chips and a container of dip.

Bought on the way to the party because I was too lazy to make anything.

[NightWatcher]

7. I usually bring fried chicken. I've a great recipe

I soak the chicken overnight in pittbull milk, then I roll it around in corn flakes as the breading.

[Bertha Venation]

13. I have to ask.

Pittbull milk?

[Chellee]

15. He got that recipe from Olive Garden.

[pinboy3niner]

16. That was back during the moon bombing

And he had to walk through miles of kudzu to get there.

[Dont call me Shirley]

8. Quiche, German Potato Salad, Green Salad dressed, Fruitbowl, Dessert of any type

[sarge43]

10. Mac and cheese. nt

[Major Nikon]

11. Whiskey

[Enrique]

12. mashed potatoes

[DeSwiss]

[TorchTheWitch]

17. Deviled eggs

There's never enough deviled eggs at any chow party.

[Coventina]

20. YES!!!!

It seems as if hardly anyone makes them anymore.

I loves me some deviled eggs!!

[Bertha Venation]

18. You all rock. Any other suggestions? n/t

[seveneyes]

19. Fireworks

Safely homemade and legal. A dish of good company after the last spark has faded and it's safe to go back inside.

[Chan790]

21. I always take polenta or risotto.

Easy to make, people think they're fancy, and there are usually too many desserts/entrees/vegetables while not enough starch side-dishes.

[underahedgerow]

25. Pfffft there are NEVER enough desserts!!!!!

Seriously!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

22. Beer

Nature's perfect food.

[Bertha Venation]

31. Bozo, this reply bums me out.

I have a new diagnosis* that precludes me from drinking beer. For the first time in my adult life, I'll be beerless at a party.

* I put it this way because I am a certified hypochondriac, and I always have a new diagnosis.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

33. When's the potluck?

There may be time for a newer new diagnosis that prescribes beer as the cure.

I am also bummed, that you wrote "beerless" and "party" in the same sentence.

Anyway, bon apetit.

[Bertha Venation]

34. Week from today.

No time.

[hopemountain]

23. a large bowl of rice with sauteed

mushrooms, mixed with a couple of tablespoons of pesto, toasted walnuts, and some feta sprinkled on top

[riderinthestorm]

24. Baked beans, pasta salad or a fruit salad. Stuffed mushrooms if its all adults

I tend to veer vegetarian when I go to a potluck because I never know how many people eat meat.

If you know folks eat meat I love to bring an assortment of "pinwheels" - tortillas stuffed with an assortment of fillings. Roll them up. Slice into 1 in thick appetizers sizes. Yum and very healthy. ( and my family loves them so anything that comes home will be scarfed up the next day. They keep well).

[underahedgerow]

26. Pasta Salad; bow tie pasta with fresh tomatoes, slathered in Newmans italian dressing, topped with

parmesan. You can toss in loads of other stuff into it, salad type things, thinly sliced red onions, croutons for crunch, and loads of fresh rough chopped basil. Always a hit and super easy!

[RebelOne]

28. That was my first thought. Nothing better than a pasia salad.

Whenever we had a pot luck luncheon at the office, I always brought a pasta salad and it was gobbled up.

[underahedgerow]

29. Yeah, especially without mayonnaise, since that gets toxic pretty fast.

Gotta love a good pasta salad!

[mackerel]

27. I always take the kale salad from Costco, the poppy seed dressing is delish!

[olddots]

30. bring a dish of pot

people will then be able to eat anything .

[Bertha Venation]

32. Love it!

Can't do it, but I love it!

[hippywife]

35. If I'm asked to bring an app...

it's usually always this one, because once I've taken it somewhere I'm usually not asked again to bring a dish, but specifically requested to bring this one:

Need a couple of baguette or really nice crackers to go with.
