How did your potluck go? & would you do it again?
Re: Tarheels
Oh, hi! I just got back here to read the responses and saw that a couple people were wondering how it went!
Well, let's just say it's a good thing I filled in the food
We would have been eating Ruffles otherwise! Lol
When the guests told me they were thinking chips, I scratched the steak off my menu and replaced it with brats lol That was a good move.
Here's what I ended up serving:
Crackers & dip
Chips & salsa
Grilled chicken - I make this all summer long and people always ask me for the recipe - I love how easy it is
Brats - just cut in half and served like sausage, not served like hot dogs
Salad - same recipe from 2 weeks prior - greens, dried cranberries, honey roasted sliced almonds, gorgonzola, rasp vinaigrette
Vidalia-Corn Casserole - recommended by a nestie - I felt like it needed a goodly amount of pepper and some more salt, but there wasn't any left in the pan and that's always a good sign
Twice baked potatoes - brought by a girl from Idaho - ha!
Fruit salad dressed with sweetened condensed milk and cinnamon (quite tasty, brought by someone)
And then people brought a cake and a cheesecake.
The chip thing was obviously a regional mix-up with students new to the south not knowing how we do things here
Would I do it again? Of course
I love doing this. I do have to say that I'm waiting on quite a few reciprocal invitations now! lol I've hosted 14 couples/people and now it's their turn :P
My Pinterest
The Googlesites Paint Bio
Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
Oh Good! I'm glad it went well. Am just back from the "shore" - otherwise I would have written back earlier.
BTW - I LOVED the basil corn salad you posted for your last get-together and have saved the chicken and corn bake recipe as well.
I agree though - it is def' your turn to be in "guest" mode.
Cheers!
