The Potluck

The idea of a potluck usually stirs up the image of a random church function with a hodgepodge of hot & cold cold dishes that don't necessarily go together...but doesn't have to be that way! A potluck is a great way to get a lot of people together without a lot of work on your part. As the host of the potluck it is a good idea to provide the main dish and all of the dishes, utensils, etc. By providing the main dish you set the tone for the meal. Invite your guests to report what they would like to bring when they RSVP. That way you can manage the meal and make sure it is well-rounded. You may discover that potlucks are a fun and no hassle way to have people over. Everyone bringing a separate dish is a conversation starter and there is less to clean up after the event!
