    I was thinking the same thing CA - lettuce and all the fixens in baggies. Carrots and celery, olive etc etc is another thought - they can travel well in baggies also. For dessert: cookies, you can even go fancy and do 7-layer bars, they'll still carry well in a baggie. Another thought would be to make arrangements ahead of time with someone else going: see if you can work it that they take the hot foods over for you so you can ride the bike?
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    SadieKate, does that rack come with the FAT TIRE??? (Mmmmmmm)

    Anyway, brownies definitely travel well. Make some bourbon brownies and those folks will love you forever.

    I knew you'd give me lots of good ideas. I was stuck in the fruit platter and cake mode and just couldn't get out of it.

    Keep the ideas coming, though, there are more potlucks coming up.

    And I love the bike rack, esp. the Fat Tire and the really nice bottle opener. I like the way that designer thinks. Sadly, though, it won't fit on our bikes.

    I like the ziploc bag idea for the veggies. I'll have to remember that. I would go with cookies (like chocolate chip - with semisweet and white choc chips - yummm) or brownies. You could transport them in ziploc bags, too.

    I usually bring a tub of hummus, baby carrots, and crackers - has the advantage of pleasing any vegetarians, while being yummy in a "dip" sort of way, but still somewhat healthy (or at least the carrots give that impression!)

    I travel by bike wherever I go whatever the occasion. Don't have panniers, but a good backpack does the trick. When going with BF, he carries the drinks, I take care of the food. His backpack fits a 12pack of beer perfectly (or a couple of bottles of wine depending on the occasion). For food, I usually bake any or all of the following:
    *bread or buns
    *cinnamon rolls/raisin buns - always a popular dessert
    *lefse (Norwegian flat-bread type things filled with cinnamon and sugar)
    *Pound cake baked in a bread pan. Put it back in the bread pan when cooled and pack in a ziplock bag. Bring the glaze separately in a jar and pour over cake when you get there.
    *salad - just get a big plastic tup with a secure lid and it will travel just fine (saves you the trouble of tossing before you go...). Bring the dressing separately and dress on arrival.

    All has been well recieved on many occasions, especially the baked goods. I usually find that people forget about desserts for a potluck. Very disappointing. I'm a dessert person and will quite happily skip the salads and veggies and things that everyone else thinks to bring.

    Mmmm....I'm hungry now....if only there was cake around.....
