Do you guys actually make something or do you just sign up for something that you can run to the store and pick up right before the pot luck? I do the latter and it has saved me on multiple occasions when I totally forgot about it. Drinks or chips are the ticket.

deemarie makes meatloaf to take to them

i haven't had to do it, but i'd sign up to bring plates or drinks or something

If I actually like my coworkers, I'll cook them something. If I don't give a shit about them, they get a bag of Tostidos and a jar of salsa.

I make them All Edge Brownies using my fancy pan

6/23/2009 10:18:11 AM

i prefer if people didnt make the food, i just dont trust my coworker's cooking
even the women

If everyone brought store bought cookies or chips, potlucks would suck. That said, my wife usually cooks something awesome if we go to one.

I have noticed that the married guys tend to bring good food in fancy insulated dishes that one could expect to receive as a wedding present. That said, if I had a wife I'd totally make her cook something good too.

We had one once where everyone brought a different Mexican ingredient, like one person brought meat, one cheese, lettuce, tortillas, etc. And then we all made what we wanted. That was kinda neat. Usually I cook something though if it's a normal one.

Now if they could come up with no-edge brownies, it would be awesome.

6/23/2009 10:28:14 AM

Yeah, that would be something I'd frivolously spend money on

6/23/2009 10:30:52 AM

all edge brownies are stupid

the edge is my least favorite part

6/23/2009 10:31:54 AM

FUCK YOUR OPINION

I always make something: damn near everyone is going to buy something.

6/23/2009 10:37:54 AM

if i ever go to a potluck in general, i try to buy something.
the last time i went to one, it was the day after i moved, so no cooking time for me.

I usually do some sort of appetizer for a dish- like deviled eggs, or my sausage cheese balls... something that takes a little bit of time and effort, but not much, and is always a hit

6/23/2009 10:42:50 AM

mmm sausage balls :drool:

6/23/2009 10:43:21 AM

AlliePaige always makes me bring them whenever there is some sort of get together... they are delicious and easy to make (i got worried because when I was in alabama I found a frozen premaid version, but that hasn't hit the stores up here yet- plus I have a secret ingredient now as well)

6/23/2009 10:45:32 AM

dude, frozen premade will never beat the homemade stuff, period. and yummmm sausage balls.

6/23/2009 11:10:32 AM

that really depends on whose home it was made in

6/23/2009 11:11:29 AM

and whose "sausage" you're using

6/23/2009 11:14:45 AM
