Potlucks Pillows

"I like that you all brought enthusiasm, but did anyone bring food?"

"Where do we put Desserts?"

If you promise the potluck stays low-key, I'll go. Promise? There will be no competitive culinary craziness? Absolutely not! Ok! Great. So what'll we bring? Simple recipes. Grilled garlic-lime tuna with Moroccan chermoula cilantro-cayenne marinade. Let the games begin!

"Oh, no - Karen baked a cake so dense that not even light can escape."

"Had more ghost-hunters 'round my place last night....scared the daylights outta me!"

Church Basement Foodie

Hot pot

Midwest Winter Items.

'Lets all thank Martha for her very innovative 'Hot Dog Crepes'.'

"All good things must come to an end...unless I use both of my giant-size super-pots."

"Welcome to the Bermudez family Christmas party!"

Tribal masks.

"I have to know who brought this disgusting eucalyptus casserole!"

Getting old...

"Let's go bowling and keep on bowling until the people who regulate bowling say it isn't bowling any more!"

Come on, honey. The neighborhood potlucks are fun. Fun?! Everyone brings something simple. Totally stress-free. Ha! Last year you made lemon-stuffed slow roasted sea bass with guacamole cilantro chutney. I won't do that again! Guacamole is over. Avocado grapefruit coulis will work.

"For the next Christmas party pot luck, let's skip the finger foods."

"I've got the wine."

You mean you'd also like to skip the last nine holes and go straight to the pub?

"You know, Mark, your tabouli salad makes us look bad."

"It's not my fault he keeps forgetting to bring food to the potlucks."

We're sunk. Everyone's supposed to bring their Grandma's best dish to the potluck. Don't panic. Helen's Grandma was from Scotland. Yeah. But the Patakis cook Indian feasts. And the Mercantis still make 10 course Italian dinners. What was your Granny's specialty? Jell-o cube salad. Mmm ... sweet or savory?

'Dear, some friends dropped by for potluck.'

Live soccer today.

"Why is it that every time we get invited to a pot luck, they expect us to bring deviled eggs?"

"That reminds me. The church pot luck dinner is Sunday."

"Where would you like to be tonight, on top or bottom?"

"In my experience the Baptist have the best potlucks."

A Consideration Certainly

We're off to the Wells' potluck! All the neighbors will be there. Whoop-dee-do. Hey! We're building community. So you don't mind if we do, too? Of course not! We support your good citizenship. Good! 'Cause all the neighborhood kids are coming over here.

'I know you live a life of quiet desperation -- you never shut up about it!'

Henry is concerned that someone brought deviled eggs to the church potluck.

"They always remember 'bring a dish,' but they always forget 'to pass.'"

"Alright! I'm out on the leash!"

"No matter how much your push the envelope, it's still stationary."
