Re: Potluck

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered misc.writing all
weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of Sylvia
<sylvia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>'s forgotten lore:


So, I'm attendin' a humongous potluck dinner party thingy Friday
night. You peeps have to come up with sumpthin' good I can bring.

1. I can cook, but I don't like to. Don't make it anything fancy.

2. There are gonna be about 90 peeps, though I gather I ain't
expected to bring enough for everyone.

3. I have to drive about 40 minutes, so I've got the keepin' cold
things cold. hot things hot thingy to consider.

4. I'm allergic to fresh onions and garlic, so don't even think
about it.

<considering>

That is all. Hurry up.



Get a buncha packages of those little shortcakes.
Get a buncha strawberries.
Get a buncha blueberries.
Get some white chocolate dipping stuff that hardens around fruit.
Get some kabob sticks

Cut the shortcakes up into little bite-size wedges or cubes.
Wash 'n trim the strawberries
Dip the strawberries partially into the white chocolate stuff.
String the shortcakes, blueberries and dipped straweberries on the
sticks in a pleasing fashion.

The red-white-blue theme works for, well, you could say it's
a post Veteran's Day thing, or maybe a celebration of our nation's
freedom as evidenced by the recent elections, or just don't mention
it at all.

Optionally, use brown chocolate dipping stuff.

You could drizzle with choc. syrup, but that gets sticky.

Cut the sticks in half with your table saw if you wish to make lots
of 'em and make 'em small for peeps.

You could use some other fruit entirely.

You could sprinkle with powdered sugar.

I mean, the possibilities are endless.
