My ass.

oh wait, it's not THAT kind of potluck?

I've seen it in the fancy grocery store but it only takes roasting one duck to get a jar full of duck fat. And you will enjoy eating the duck! But you will also have had enough of the scent of duck fat that you'll be happy to leave it in the fridge or freezer for awhile.

Whatever I could find in the nearby grocery/supermarket 🥲 Bad at cooking & generally don't have enough free time...

Ha. Same comment. Your cheese love is strong.

Homemade bread and hummus

A friend of mine hates cheese (I know, none of us understand it), and she got a job in Switzerland. She worked remotely, but every time she had to go there for company gatherings and such she had to endure endless amounts of fondue and raclette 😆

If this gonna be that kinda party I'm gonna stick my dick in the mashed potatoes.

Cheese of the day: CréMonté
Paladin CréMonté is a German blue cheese encased in a white mould. It has a pleasant smooth texture with a special creaminess, even though it contains only 34% fat.

Creamy potato salad!

And celiacs thank you, because that's sometimes the only thing at a potluck that we can eat.

Mannerströms Surströmming. It's fine, the party will leave and I'll eat it by myself again.

Scalloped Potatoes with lots of cream and ham inside.

Muddy Buddies I believe is Chex getting in on the popularity of puppy chow. Puppy chow was really popular when I was in middle school and the official version started appearing when I got to high school I think.

But home made has always been and always will be better!

People like you are the hero of every potluck I go to.

Mmmmmm, bangers and mash

Yep I'm doing the same. Aldi special

I'm doing desserts. Usually macarons, but I do pies for Thanksgiving.

So many salads...

I do not care if it's unappreciated and/or unwanted, but there's no way I am not bringing either my homemade mac n cheese or homemade tuna noodle casserole. Preferably option 2.

Microwave chocolate chips until soft (try stirring them after about a minute in the microwave, they sometimes keep their shape despite being melted.)

Add smooth peanut butter to your taste, microwave again for another 30 to 60 seconds, stir to combine, pour in chex mix, gently stir to coat the cereal

grab a gallon size ziplock, add excessive powdered sugar to ziplock (the extra will fall off the cereal into the bottom of the bowl), add chocolate peanut butter coated cereal to the ziplock, seal ziplock and shake the snot out of it,

Pour into your potluck bowl or take the bag as is.

Probably some kind of beans and rice with onions and herbs and a little bacon thrown in. I'm lazy.

If I wanted to impress, a tray of homemade lasagna that'll make your toes curl.

wine or store bought dessert.

Beer cheese and bratwurst dip.

Might try something like that with the sourdough I usually use. Got a nice big cast iron pan already.

Sourdough that I have been making lately: add flour to bowl and pour in some boiling water. Mix and allow to cool, shouldn't be so much water that it forms a dough yet. Once cool, add sourdough starter and enough water to form dough. Then leave for a few hours or all day to rise and then bake.

The hot water reacts with the starches to gelatinise which cold water doesn't. Results in softer bread, I think it works by holding moisture better.

Smoked haddock kedgeree. Easy to put in the oven quickly if its cooled down a bit and its something likely to be unique.

Roast potatoes, cheap and easy to make large quantities for and they can still be good cool.

Smoked bacon jalapeño poppers. Stuffed with cream cheese cilantro and lime juice

Interesting, will try.

Bro is getting an invite in the mail and a backup invite via text

Depends on the time of year. In summer I might do a watermelon salad with tomatoes, cucumber, feta. In winter more likely a made-from-scratch mac and cheese with chorizo.

Mexican Insanity Chili.

Cilantro tastes like soap

Tortilla chips and guacamole. Guacamole is the thing I'm most confident in making and my mom taught me how. Also margaritas because she taught me that too.

Key lime bars, haven’t quite perfected baklava yet

You are welcome in my house with that kedgeree! One of my fave comfort dishes.

Tortellini chicken spinach soup! This one! https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/slow-cooker-tortellini-spinach-soup/

I would eat soap if it tasted like cilantro

With any luck I will supply the pot.

After all the secret to good food is

I'm looking for side quests to put in the smoker while I'm waiting for the main entree. What temp and how long do you let them smoke for?

Pantene pro v, in the soup isle?

Pickle roll ups - get a full size pickle and wrap it with Buddig corned beef on the outside and cream cheese on the inside. Then slice it and they're cute and tasty 💜

300F for ~1hr. Just whenever they get the color you're looking for.

Right now? I have a bottle of a clarified watermelon tequila cocktail, that's what I am bringing.

With more time to prepare, probably a cornbread.

Thank you!

Bacon jam. There's something magical when onions, maple syrup, and coffee mix up with little bits of bacon. It goes really well on top of a slice of toast and Muenster cheese.

Fuck me, she's going to do one of those"homemade" canned pies again...

Ok a month puts us at peak Thanksgiving with time to spare, I'm going to be bringing Pumpernickel Rye stuffing, one 9x9 for the old fashioned and a basket of stuffins for everyone else. A gallon of burbon mulled cider for the grown ups, and I'll have the spouse whip up her homemade whipped cream.

Cool whip died in the 70's Janet, quit pretending it's edible!

Amazing!

If it's for thanksgiving, I'm bringing butter basted butternut squash, one in garlic sage and the other in maple burbon. If it's particularly cold out, I'll bring a sachette for ponche vino.

If it's any time you're making macarons, I'll be frying up wonton pizza rolls. They're the opposite of fancy but they meet macarons in the whimsical department and I'm all about that whimsy.
