I hate potlucks. I don't cook, so I'm the one that always brings chips or sodas or packaged cookies.
If there's a sign up sheet, that's what I sign up for, or paper plates and forks or something.
We just had a potluck at work today, and occasionally I'll get my husband to make something. He made nasi goreng for this one. I can usually get him to make something indonesian that's spicy and some people are afraid to try, because it's different.
We don't get too many really fancy things brought in. Yesterday's potluck had chips and chocolate cheesecake, dips, vegetable tray from a supermarket, my DH's nasi goreng, pasta and meatballs from an italian restaurant, potato salad from the grocery store, and a salad. Soda and a sweet mix made with kix cereal, and a cheeseball and sliced summer sausage.
we're eating the leftovers today.
