WuMo by Wulff & Morgenthaler for March 06, 2021

And then there’s that guy that brings one 2 liter bottle of the cheapest soda pop on Earth.

I never went so far as to roast an entire pig, but my homemade mac and cheese, scalloped potatoes, pecan bars were favorites. I love to cook but live alone, so potlucks were my only chance to make big batches of things I couldn’t eat all of by myself.

My wife will usually make something. I will usually bring a 16 oz. bag of Ruffles potato chips.

Three hot pockets, eh? Hope you didn’t strain yourself! ( usually it people like this who eat more than their share)!

Mmmm…Roast pig….

you don’t get credit for how many hours a dish is in the oven

Not typical, too many people brought bowls.

2 bags of chips and a large pre-made french onion dip

I’ve seen box of 10 Mcnuggets laid out among the feast.

The company I once worked for had a potluck, one guy brought fried squirrel.

I brought napkins. Hey, they’re edible.

My favorite is the relative who brings food then waits till everyone has eaten already to bring it out and ask if anyone wants some then takes it back home and we have one that just brings a bag of chips

My butt is still cold from standing in waders and fighting off bears to catch this fresh salmon.

Who has money for the pizza guy?

Baked beans and KFC were the “easy” way out dishes for our potlucks. But – I never minded the KFC!

Potluck aside, LOVE the guy wearing the mask over his mouth. So appropriate these days. As to the potluck I use to bring my Corn Casserole. Always a fav and easy to make in a crock pot.

When I was a young pastor of a new congregation, we decided one way to expand membership and deepen fellowship was a monthly pot-luck. It worked quite well for about 6 months, until the evening when EVERYONE brought spaghetti. The practice died out soon thereafter. Thank God [literally] the congregation continued to thrive, even today.

I used to be just a bring-a-bottle-of-wine or large bag of good chocolate candies sort… but at the most recent pot luck I took one of those big salad kits you can get at Costco. That made a hit, but since then there haven’t been any potlucks…. now that I know what to bring!

I hate cooking so I was always the chips, soda, napkins, plates person. Hey, without someone like me, all that wonderful homemade food would have to be eaten off your hand or pieces of copy paper, so you’re welcome. Ha ha!

I had a coworker who thought it would be a great idea to make wings as spicy (hot) as she could (supposedly to satisfy the spicy lovers of the office). She did and very few people were even able to eat it. The ones who did only had a couple of wings and couldn’t handle more even though she made a huge pot of them. It was a waste of time and food.

I like to put a lot of effort into my contributions, but I understand that each person has varying levels of talent, time, and means. So when we arrange a potluck, everyone is welcome regardless of what they bring. Once I spent hours meticulously assembling a variety of homemade sushi rolls that everyone adored. And yet the friendship present that night made everything enjoyable, including the microwaved taco bites, convenience store pizza, 99-cent chips and knockoff-brand soda.

I like baking, so if I ever get invited to a pot-luck, I think I will bake a cake for it.
