_Aside_: Did somebody in a sit-com have a wife or girlfriend nicknamed Peaches…? My first through was Buddy Sorrell, but his wife was Pickles. _Carry on._ ---

I can bring some salmon candy. And maybe a chocolate fountain with long stem strawberries and other fresh fruits for dipping. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Flour!! (I only buy the flour ones) If you have access to a freshly HOMEMADE corn tortilla, don’t pass it up… _heaven_. You can get them in many restaurants in San Antonio now. _Nothing_ like the ones packed in plastic. Just like homemade bread right out of the oven can’t be compared favorably to store-bought, plastic-bagged bread that’s been sitting on a shelf (or your kitchen counter) for a few days. ---

Oh, baby… make sure they’re hot, spread with butter and sprinkle a _tiny_ bit of salt all over. Roll up and devour… _mmmm_… Now I want some. ---

According to family and friends, I am required to bring cookie and bar platters, so: Chocolate chip cookies Gooey butter cookies Fauxreos Millionaire bars Lemon bars Raspberry shortbread bars I do pinwheels two different ways - one with cream cheese, diced chilis or jalapenos, and diced olives on plain flour tortillas or cream cheese, thinly sliced roast beef, thinly sliced swiss, and butter lettuce on something like a sun dried tomato tortilla. ---

Square or rectangular tortillas would be perfect for that! ---

So, cultural appropriation be damned, I made up my own “Mexican Lasagna” with some nice ground meat/cumin/etc, alternating layers of tortillas, cheese, pickled jalapenos, black olives, etc. Will make again. Tonight I’m making stuffed jalapenos and pulled pork wraps. ---

I’ll flash back to the early 80s and bring a Taffy Apple Salad. You couldn’t go to a potluck back then without encountering at least one bowl of the stuff. ---

I spread my Flour tortilla with cream cheese then add pastrami, diced green chilis and black olives before I roll them up. So good. ---
