Welcome to the SDMB Potluck! Unfortunately, with distance and Covid, this will be a virtual affair. You can bring whatever dish, ideally different from everyone else’s. A thread from 8 years ago suggests some “go to” dishes - maybe we will see some Mexican lasagna again. Another thread discusses terrible things seen at potlucks by people who did not want to spend time - cold McDonald’s cheeseburgers, bag o’ buns; or did not want to spend money - bag o’ ice cubes, package of forks.
I will bring soft rolls, packs of single sliced yellow cheese, eggs, and ( Taylor Ham/Porkroll ).
I’d ask to be able to fry a plate of fried eggs… a plate of fried ( Taylor Ham/Porkroll ) in the kitchen of the house. I’d place two eggs and four ham pieces and two slices of yellow cheese in the middle of each soft roll.
I’m hoping the SMDB appreciates my first attempt at smoking a brisket - nice rub with a bit of heat, low and slow in the pellet smoker.
I’d share it with my family, but they are a bit (i.e extremely) fussy about fat and connective tissue, no matter how cooked down it is. So rather than have them complain about the soft, gooey line of fat in the flat, we can all share. I’m getting to the stage of needing the freezer space, anyhow.
My “small part of Southern California, a couple of blocks, really” renowned deviled eggs (the secret is BBQ potato chips) and maybe my equally well-known and loved Deep Dish Southern Comfort peach pie.
Hmm, do you want more entrees, or a dessert? I could bring:
Madhur Jaffrey’s chickpeas, cooked with onion, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a bit of tomato paste and some other spices. Last time my husband made it he added a hint of cocoa powder, too, which nicely perked it up.
Or, i like baking pies. I do a nice fruit pie with lots of fruit and almost no “goo”. Wild blueberry or mixed berry are both easy and reliable, being made with bags of frozen fruit.
I guess I’d probably bring a pot of chili. It’s something I’ve brought to put lucks in the past and got a positive reception, so I suppose it’s my go-to, now.
I know, you’re all picturing Kevin from The Office now, aren’t you?
