What would you bring to a Fluther potluck?

A green bean fluther casrole..?

I will pretend @chewhorse brought a meat or poultry dish and I will go to #3.

I will bring a selection of Australian beers and wines.

#4, since I am coming from Australia too, I will bring TimTams of every variety!

I am coming to meet you HC, I wanna see if you look like the sort of person who would ask the questions you ask!!!

#5 Moonshine.

Moonshine is made from corn, which is a grain, I guess, so that counts, and everyone loves good moonshine.

@rooeytoo Do I have to Google TimTams? Are they baked?? :-)

We would have a blast on the Cable cars and trollies. Har har.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Whit Lighting, I should have known. You will have to bring it in a supped up Ford Duce Coup though.

@Hypocrisy_Central – Tim Tams are cookies or biscuits as they call them here, a cakey stuff covered with white or milk chocolate, some with caramel, etc. They are quite tasty!

@rooeytoo STOP! STOP! My mouth is watering already!!! :-)

Tim Tams are yummy!

#6: Fifty cases of fresh-picked blueberries from the farm I work at.

I really hope someone’s bringing chocolate chip cookies.

#7 I’d bring pétanque balls

Doh, @whitenoise and I must have hit submit at the same time, so I guess I’ll be #8 and the cycle will start to repeat?

#8: Lasagna. :)

#0 (do we get to circle back around with the #‘s ? I don’t see hors d’oeuvres on the list…) I’m bringing my famous guacamole and some chips for the pre-party.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Moonshine! Get the party started.

sorry @Seaofclouds :-)

@whitenoise, No problem. I’ll just have to be faster next time. :)

@Seaofclouds I like lasagna, though!!!

@whitenoise So do I, so it all works out.

@dabbler Yes! Adding the #0 – hors d’oeuvres is lovely.

#1 A pasta salad with fresh garden vegetables, feta cheese and an Italian dressing

#2 Herbed Roast Chicken with roasted Rosemary potatoes.

#3. Drinks.

#4 I’ve decided that my dessert dish is strawberry shortcake (homemade, and it took me a while, so you’d better like it). I’m coming not only because I’ve never been to San Fran, but also because I’m a sucker for potlucks.

#6 I always bring the healthy, tasty stuff and I guarantee you it’ll be all eaten up in less than an hour :)

I’ll also bring a friendly attitude!

#7 – I’d bring cornhole.

Well, now I’m just confused so I’ll bring a bunch of fresh stuff that we can make salads and desserts and snacks out of and a bunch of wine so no one will care that I didn’t actually cook, got lost on my way there, and let the dippers for the veg and fruits go bad in the heat.

I can’t be bothered to figure out the order of things. It’s too complicated for my puny brain. What happened to the days when people weren’t so anal retentive about potlucks? You’re taking all the luck out of the pot.

I’ll bring my cold sesame noodles, which tend to be a big hit wherever I go. If I’m not allowed to stay, I’ll take my noodles and go throw them off the Golden Gate Bridge. Then I’ll go have dinner with my cousins and maybe take a sunset tour on the Bay.

Yeah, I’m a little unclear on the order concept. So I would bring my cheese tortellini pesto pasta salad with fresh mozarella, grape tomatoes, brocolli florets and pine nuts and hope for the best. I’d probably take the train home.

I’m actually bringing this to a potluck next week!

@Kardamom that sounds amazing.

I have heard of this thing you call potluck. For my very first potluck party I will bring my husbands amazing onion tart. I will be coming for the whole potluck experience as well as meeting my fellow jellies, not to mention I have wanted to visit sf for ages. The potluck virgin is here;-)

Yum, onion tart…

Order, shmorder. It all comes out okay at the end. Especially when everyone has had a bit of moonshine. I’m bringing spinach salad with apricots, pecans, feta cheese and croutons. Oil and vinegar dressing at the last minute. What time do we eat? And thanks HC, for throwing the party!

@ANef_is_Enuf It’s super easy. Get some of that fresh (not frozen or dried) cheese tortellini from Costco or Sam’s Club (I usually use both of the packs in a 2 pack, which makes a boatload of pasta salad) cook it according to package directions, then rinse with ice water to stop the cooking. Then take a container ( use all or some, depending upon how much tortellini you cooked) of prepared, jarred pesto. I used Kirkland’s which I also got at costco, and gently mix that into the cooled pasta. Then add about a cup or 2 (depending upon how much tortellini you cooked) of diced regular mozzarella cheese (like the kind you use for pizza) or the same amount of fresh mozzarella balls, sometimes called ovolini. I use ones that are about 1 inch balls and you can cut them in half if you like, but you don’t need to. Then I add about a cup of quickly blanched broccoli florets, a pint of grape tomatoes and about ¾ of a cup of pine nuts (either toasted or not). Mix gently.

If you are feeling especially bold and festive, you can also add about a half a cup of pitted Kalamata olives. If you want a really grand presentation, put a few sprigs of fresh basil on top of the bowl of pasta salad.

@Kardamom thank you for sharing that recipe, I will definitely be making that. I can’t wait to try it!

I’m not a big fan of order and I know at potlucks, you need more of some things than others. I’m going to bring good old fashioned baked beans!

I’ll just bring my ukulele and some beer.

If I were person #5 I would bring my absolute famous zucchini bread.
If I were person #7 I would bring the most best games in the world…Monopoly and Apples to Apples.

So if I were to choose, maybe #5, I love zucchinis.

@Seaofclouds Doh, @whitenoise and I must have hit submit at the same time, so I guess I’ll be #8 and the cycle will start to repeat?
#8: Lasagna. :) Yes, it repeats, you would be #1, but you will get a ticket home because you brought lasangna……ohhhhhh…….I love lasagna.

@JilltheTooth Well, now I’m just confused You would have been pasta but lasagna is taken….too bad, lasagna is great!

@wundayatta I can’t be bothered to figure out the order of things. It’s too complicated for my puny brain. What happened to the days when people weren’t so anal retentive about potlucks? Oh no you don’t! You are not pulling that “puny brain” thing on me, I didn’t just fall off the watermelon truck yesterday. I follow your Q&A and you are smarter than that. If it was a potluck free for all, you end up with 7 dishes of macaroni salad, and no desert.

@Symbeline What?! No zombie slaying tools?

@Hypocrisy_Central I participate in a pot luck for about 80 people 3 times a year. You just have people sign up with what they want to bring. The organizer contacts people who haven’t signed up yet with suggestions if there are, for example, too many desserts. I understand your need to have it your way, but you might loosen up a little bit. I’m hurt that you don’t value my excellent spinach salad.

Someone needs to bring a good broccoli salad too!

@Sunny2 I’m hurt that you don’t value my excellent spinach salad. It is not that you made it, anything leafy and green is a toilet flusher to me. My mother had a vegetable garden every year until I got into Jr. high, and at dinner there was HUGE dose of it on the plate. To me, all I seen was plants that came up from a barren plot of dirt. It looked like a plant, smelled like a plant, and tasted like a plant. Greens and spinach being the worse, looked like the clippings I emptied from the lawn mower. Blech!!!

@Hypocrisy_Central But you’ll never grow up to be Popeye! How about I bring a chocolate ice box cake? Creamy, cool and delicious. Can I come to the party then?

@Schroedes13 I found a yummy broccoli salad recipe just for you! Hope you like it.

If you end up briniging baked beans, you’ll have a challenge on your hands. That’s @DutchessIII’s specialty! Ah, but I always love a good baked bean challenge!

Or maybe Apples to Apples. I’ll kick all your guys’s ass in that game.

@Sunny2 I always like Whimpy better than all of them. Bring on the burgers. The chocolate ice box cake will get you back in, so long as you bring chocolate milk with it, I have to keep my color up, you know.

What number dish are we up to?

Last I counted that we were back at pasta, but somehow the order got derailed with veggies.

@Kardamom I’ve never tried a spicy broccoli salad! But I’m excited for it!

This potluck is chaos now, I am expecting an Animal House like food fight to break out at any moment.

Throws someone’s lemon meringue pie @Hypocrisy_Central :D

Ducks and pie splats @Symbeline square in the back Missed me!!! Ha ha! Hurls @JilltheTooth salad at @Bellatrix Take that! Ha!

’‘huge Scooby Doo tongue slurps off mess’’

Shakes up the soft drink someone provided and sprays @Symbeline and @Hypocrisy_Central. Got you that time!!

Great, now I’m all soaked and omg THE BUBBLES ARE GOING UP MY NOSE.

’‘hucks humus at j00’’

*sits under the able with his spicy broccoli salad!

#3 a blender full of “newtons”:
– 3 parts tequilla
– 2 prts mezcal
– 1 part triple sec
– 6 parts apple juice
lots of ice

@dabbler that is quite the drink!

Thanks @dabbler for showing up, then drops a big wad of vegemit down the front of @Bellatrix top Wait right there I will add @chewhorse casserole to it! LOL LOL

Eww… vegemite and casserole down your tits… not good. Pours @Schroedes13‘s baked beans over @Hypocrisy_Central‘s head while he is filling his glass with some of @Dabbler’s amazing drink.

Then runs and leave to make lunch at home.

I worked my ass off on those beans!!!! Luckily, I brought Canadian beer to make it all better!

Wait, no fruit punch?

Did I hear anyone say “jello bath?”

There is no punch because @Schroedes13 knocked it off the table trying to hide from @Bellatrix food missile. The next person that throws any food has to go home. drops Boston Cream Pie in @Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard lap Oops, too much moonshine I guess LOL

That wasn’t a throw, so I don’t have to go home. :-P
