Oh my god, we soooooooo need an ILX Potluck Dinner.

I love potlucks! I used to use them as an excuse to go over to my friend's house and watch TV when I didn't have one. Plus, my boyfriend has been vegan for 8 years and so I'm used to crazy veggie/vegan potlucks where people bring the most amazing food.

― Carey (Carey), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 22:24 (twenty-two years ago)

What are Swedish meatballs? Of course I've heard the name, but I've never had them.

Everyone brings lasagnas and bean salads.

don't forget the jello mould with... things in it

I like the prase "bring a dish to pass."

Chili potlucks are the best, where everyone brings their own chili and you dump them all together. Every bite is an adventure.

― kirsten (kirsten), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

bring a dish to pass

dump them all together

this is all getting a bit weird

Destroy: anything with mayonnaise

and anything with a hair in it

― SplendidMullet (iamamonkey), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 23:13 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm just preparing for one for my friend's birthday tonight and it's annoying cause it's a veggie potluck. i'm making -*gulp* - caramelised red onion, baked pumpkin and blue cheese flakey pastry pie. i'll be sticking to the new montheith's beer, however.

Macaroni salad (blah)

Macaroni and cheese (yay)

― jm (jtm), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 02:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, and BEANS

― jm (jtm), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 02:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Some joker always shows up with a bucket of KFC.

― o. nate (onate), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 02:22 (twenty-two years ago)

but they make kick-ass coleslaw, for not being homemade!

― hstencil, Wednesday, 16 April 2003 02:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I've never had the Colonel's slaw, but I don't see how it could compare with the scrumptious sides at Kenny Rogers Roasters.

― o. nate (onate), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 02:31 (twenty-two years ago)

KFColeslaw is the closest thing you can get to good slaw north of the Mason-Dixon.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 16 April 2003 02:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the 2nd Avenue Deli slaw - it's a no-mayo variety - but always very fresh.

― o. nate (onate), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 02:39 (twenty-two years ago)

My tuna noodle casserole rulez u r all gay.

I think all those Grange Hall potluck dinners my mother and grandmother went to got imprinted into my genetic code or something.

― rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 02:43 (twenty-two years ago)

is the tuna real or canned? cause that's a whole different kettle of fish ain't it. i like it real.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 03:57 (twenty-two years ago)

But it's a waste to use real tuna in a casserole! That shit needs to go on the grill (just a couple minutes on each side mind you)!.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 04:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Canned tuna and canned soup, of course!

― rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 05:04 (twenty-two years ago)

if ONLY someone would bring KFC-buckets to my picnics/potlucks. it sure beats watery homemade hummus.

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 05:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I have one word for you: PIE.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 08:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I have one word for you: I love Madchen.

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 08:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh but what kind? There are stranger pies in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Madchen. For instance a terrifying 'porkless' pie that someone brought to a picnic a while ago. It was green.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 08:56 (twenty-two years ago)

That's more than one word you poxy FULE.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 08:56 (twenty-two years ago)

My homemade hummous is grebt, not watery. Fairy cakes are urgent and key for picnicking or potlucking purposes. I've only recently come round to the idea of pasta salad - eurgh, mayonnaise! - but I'll admit it can be nice when super-garlicky and with olives.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 08:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Potlucks suck for vegetarians. You bring a veggie dish, EVERYONE demolishes, and then you realise that everything everyone else has brought has hot dogs or something in it, and you go home hungry. MAJOR DUD!!!

Except for the very rare but supremely yummy VEGGIE POTLUCK. My former bassist used to have one every Xmas, and they ROXORed!!! The idea of a potluck where you could eat everything... what a concept!

― KATE, Wednesday, 16 April 2003 09:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Porkless pork pie would be fine as long as it was filled with jelly instead!

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 09:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Ewwww. Madchen are you some kind of aspicist?

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 09:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, best bit.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 09:20 (twenty-two years ago)

one year passes...

i hate work potlucks more than anything

― kephm, Thursday, 7 October 2004 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

i just dont want to eat it

― kephm, Thursday, 7 October 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

none of you can cook. tommorow all you will be talking baout is carbs and diets.

please go have fun and eat your own hearts out of your chests for all i care, but dont askme 10 times why i dont want your mystery meat in my mouth

― kephm, Thursday, 7 October 2004 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

please

― kephm, Thursday, 7 October 2004 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I am so thankful I don't work in an office like this anymore. "Hey, let's all bring some sad-ass bean salad on Friday. Then we'll sit around and talk about how bad our kids are."

― Gold Teeth II (kenan), Thursday, 7 October 2004 17:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I watched my boss cough into his hand and then reach into a bowl with that same hand to scoop up some food. That was when I had sworn off potlucks. Tell everyone you have a doctor's appointment.

― dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

long fingernails should not serve frosted cake
please clean up the kitchen you bastards, i need some fresh water.
also, egg based dishes shouldnt be left out all day

there is tons of free food around the office this week (1000 plus employees), but i am not happy that potluck season is around the corner.

funyn, you shoudl mention doctors appmnt. this is my main beef with potlucks. the few times i have gone ahead and had some of the food I ALWAYS GET A FUCKING COLD and then get hell for calling out sick. So, leave me alone when i say "oh im just a bit of a germ freak, i get sick easily"

― kephm, Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I just hate the food. And I also hate the eaters. I hate the girls who bring in dried-out grocery store cake and cookies all the time and then hand it out to everyone, and then all the women sit around and gorge themselves and go on and on about how good it is, and then switch immediately to how they're off their diet and Oh Lord this isn't on Atkins! and etc. First of all, the food is not good. It's sugary. There's a big difference. And second of all, either eat or be on a diet. Saying out loud that you know how fattening the food is does not make it less fatteneing.

― Gold Teeth II (kenan), Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

oh i hate the food too. most of it looks like baby food or dead gremlins mush. NO THANKYOU

― kephm, Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

But flappin' yer gums is exercise.

i just left the mens room, where i saw some guy walk out a stall EATING ICE CREAM

― kephm, Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm not cut out for this.

― kephm, Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

How sure are you it was ice cream?

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:29 (twenty-one years ago)

oh man, there is a free ice cream table right outside the bathroom. why they built the bathroom rigght next to the kitchen is another can of idiocy

I guess I'm lucky to work with just the right combination of good cooks and unadventurous eaters, because office potlucks around here always turn out really good. Sure, you've got the crockpot full of squishy flavorless canned green beans and the omnipresent cheesy potato casserole (do you ever wonder how exactly you got to be so round, miss?), but then there always ends up being like a shit ton of tomato moz and cornbread salad and balsamic vinegar beet slaw and whatnot and a long line of office people not willing to put such weird things in their mouth.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

And then me with belly full.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

what is cornbread salad?

― kephm, Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

A salad made from cornbread.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

ha ha i r smar tass

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

But it's true.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

ERM, Um, then why is it such a WEIRD thing ?

― kephm, Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Because it's salad made out of cornbread ha ha.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

esp. in kentucky? doesn't cornbread grow on trees down there?

― kephm, Thursday, 7 October 2004 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

has anyone ever had mock apple pie, made with Ritz crackers? I never got the point of it, but always wanted to try it.
