Potluck Tomorrow

[Alice]

We're having a potluck lunch in honor of our friend Kim that's quitting & moving out of town. 

I need something to feed about 30 people that's easy to transport.  Any ideas?

[ReBurn]

Cheese dip and tortilla chips.

[DownSouth]

Grocery store deli.

[Alice]

I should specify.  Anything that isn't chips and dips or cookies.

[Jessie]

Pasta salad.

Rotini pasta, Buttermilk Ranch (hidden valley dry mix, made as directed), diced tomatoes, onions, and green peppers.

Easy to make the night before.  It might dry a little, so just add a touch more mayo.

It's super easy and yummy and pretty cheap, too.  I think that one pack of dressing goes with one box of pasta.  You can tweak it if it's too dry or anything, though.

[Alice]

Grocery store deli.

That's too expensive for me.

[ReBurn]

I should specify.  Anything that isn't chips and dips or cookies.

Fine, then.

Get some of those pre-cooked meatballs that are like two and half bucks a bag.  Add tasty spaghetti sauce.  Profit.

[DownSouth]

ham
mayo
bread
cut into little triangles

[Beefy]

Buy a couple of large bags of M&Ms and bring in a large bowl.

[Alice]

You are all very helpful.  Thank you.

Jess, I may do what you're suggesting.

Would a veggie tray be considered too chips and dip?  I always liked taking those- make that spinach veggie dip in a breadbowl and put out some crudites...

Yeah - nothing more with dip.  We've got a million dips being brought in.

I second this.  If not that, maybe you can get a big casserole tray of wings.  And then put like celery or something on the side.  CLASSY

I think I'm going to go easy & cheap and make cucumber sandwiches.

90% women.

[DownSouth]

Get the recipe for the beefaroni Jessie makes.  She says it makes a ton and who doesn't like beefaroni?

[Alice]

Yeah, but I don't think cold beefaroni is going to taste good.

That was the plan.

[Jessie]

Cucumber sammiches = YUK.

[Alice]

I like them. 

Do you just not like cucumber?

Let's be honest- if the potluck is for the women in that picture you showed us, I'd say 75% female would be more accurate.

You have a very good point.

[Dry then Catch]

Is there any point to having a sandwich open faced other than to save bread?

[Jessie]

I just don't like them.  I dunno.

[Alice]

I just don't like them.  I dunno.

FINE!!!

[Alice]

Well, I didn't do any of that.  Instead, I bought 2 boxes of Clementines.  I'll pop them in the fridge tonight & put them in a pretty bowl tomorrow.

[Beefy]

That was basically my idea.  All the rest of you people SUCK HARD

Yeah, you got the bowl part dead-on.

I like cucumber sandwiches.  I also like to play tea with my dolls.
