If I hosted a DU Potluck Dinner, what dish would you bring for us to enjoy

[LynneSin]

Me, I make some great crab cakes so I would bring those and a case of Dogfish Pale Ale!

[no name no slogan]

1. cracker crumbs. And gum for dessert.

[LynneSin]

2. Ok, I'm bringing crabcakes & beer and this is the best you can do

:cry:

[no name no slogan]

6. Maybe a bag o' chips then

I'm sorry, I don't cook. I've lived in my new apt since August and I have yet to use the stove.

Yeah, I'm pathetic.

[LynneSin]

12. I have one of those countertop grills - I love it!!

:D

But we'll accept you with a bag of chips - but make it a really big bag of chips and not those cheap greasy kinds like Lays

[no name no slogan]

28. I've got a Foreman, too, but I've never used it

Of course it helps when you live in a neighborhood that has a lot of very good, affordable restaurants and a kickass deli at the co-op.

And I'll bring tons of chips. I'll even rent a U-Haul.

[Shell Beau]

3. I'd bring

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory so we would have something to watch!! :P Only kidding!! :silly:

I'd bring some good southern sausage balls!! :9

[LynneSin]

4. Sorry, DVD player will be doing a Roadhouse/Showgirls marathon

:D

[Shell Beau]

15. Roadhouse sounds good to me!

;)

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. A big pot of Jambalaya and some Fried Green Tomatoes...

MrG says that's my best offering.

[KamaAina]

78. Chocolate mac nuts, Kona blend coffee, good pineapple, poi of course

I imagine Opihi has some 'ono smoked fish or wild meat or something he'd like to bring, too...

Note that pineapple grwon elsewhere is generally stringy and flavorless. For some reason it just has to be grown in the red dirt.

Edit: That'd be smoked fish. We're not "soaked" until about 4 on DUau day :-)

[southlandshari]

7. Stuffed grape leaves, hoummos and the best tabouli ever tasted

When and where is the feast?

:hi:

[merh]

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. Yellow rice with peas

and a bottle of Fantome Saison.

[kick-ass-bob]

9. A mexican style dip/filling

with ingredients you would never think goes well together.

Seriously:

Hamburger, rotel tomatoes, enchilada sauce, black beans, some sort of mexican seasoning, spanish (or whatever) rice, cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups.

Served over chips w/ cheese or as a casserole layered with soft tortillas.

:9

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Dammit...I knew that pixie stick I had for lunch wasn't going to be

36. My famous/notorious chicken wings

Marinated, then baked, not deep fried, and wok-tossed with butter and my super-secret blend of five hot sauces including habanero sauce. Guaranteed to blow the top of your head off.

Beer and blue cheese dip to tamp down the flames.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

38. Food.

Specifically cannoli.

guarrunteed to clog your arteries and put 10lbs on your hips, but they're so good you have to have seconds.

[taterguy]

something I could transport on a bicycle

56. Receipe (sp) ??

[jane_pippin]

75. Sure thing:

And sorry to leave you hanging. I saw your post just as I was leaving for work and when I got home I had some unexpected family drama to deal with.

I'll just post it here because it's no secret or anything. (My gramma's shortbread recipe though, I go to my grave with) ;)

Ingredients:

1 lb cottage cheese
1 zucchini
2 (7 oz) cans chopped button mushrooms
1 (14 oz) can whole leaf spinach drained
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup dried parsley flakes
1½ Tbl garlic powder
1½ cups minced onion
1 Tbl minced garlic
2 (10 oz) jars marinara sauce
1 (8 oz) package oven ready (no boil) lasagna noodles
½ cup pepper-jack cheese

Directions:

1. In large bowl, mix first 9 ingredients together and set aside.

2. Layer bottom of 12 x 9-inch pan with 1 cup marinara sauce. Place 3 uncooked lasagna noodles on top of sauce. Top with layer of 1/3 cheese mixture. Layer another 3 noodles on top of mixture. Pour 2 cups marinara sauce over noodles (this allows noodles not to burn while cooking). Layer another 1/3 of cheese mixture on sauce-covered noodles. Repeat. Layer 3 remaining noodles on top of cheese mixture. Top with 1 cup marinara sauce and pepper-jack cheese. Cover baking dish with foil. Bake at 375 degrees for 70 minutes.

[patricia92243]

60. Taco Dip and Chips

Not the ordinary kinds you can get from the gas station, nooo.

I make my own taco dip with cream cheese, chili, *real* cheddar cheese, fresh onions, etc.

63. Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Mmmmmmm.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

64. Creme De Menthe Chocolate Cheescake.

66. A creamy crab meat dip to be served on crackers.

Or I can use the dip to stuff some mushroom caps and then sprinkle them with finely grated cheese and broil them and then substitute the cold crab and shrimp dip tha tI make.

Oh, and I bring some sauted mushrooms.

[Kali]

67. Well since the retailers have informed me we are well into the holidaze

I will probably bring some homemade tamales. Red chile or green corn? I know, I know...BOTH.

[William Bloode]

68. So many tasty dishes!

Sounds like a hell of a feast for sure.

I would bring my Mystic Pizza(includes psylocibin mushies)with 2 gallons of marijuana kief infused homade apple brandy, and pro'lly about a lb of fine Super Silver Haze so we could all get a case of extreme munchies without getting sleepy.

[bigwillq]

69. I'll have my b/f make

his world class rice and beans! They're so yummy! :bounce:

[lizziegrace]

70. Dolmadas and Chicken Pilaf

Any excuse to make them!

[malta blue]

72. A tortilla espanola and some chorizo

Plus lots of yummy wines

[MissMillie]

73. depends on whether you want an entree or a dessert

for an entree, I'd made scalloped potatoes w/ ham.

for dessert, I'd make my famous peanut butter fudge.

[Callalily]

74. Oh yummy,

I wish we truly could have a pot luck. Anyway, I'd bring caponata and pita chips.

[philosophie_en_rose]

77. Lumpia and Pancit with Rice.

and homemade sweet and sour sauce. (with pineapple, hot sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic.) lemon on the side of the pancit.

By the way, I would have to have my jaw wired before going to a DU pot luck. Too much good food. Too little stomach space. :)

[TallahasseeGrannie]

79. I make this spread called Chesapeake Clam and Cheese

It is a mixture of claims, minced green peppers, onions, parsley and bread crumbs, covered with mazzarella cheese, bacon, green olives. You spread it on Triscuits. It has to be HOT.

[havocmom]

80. Two kinds of manicotti, one filled with ricotta and one filled with

finely shredded zuchini, spinach, seasoned with garlic & parmesean.

OR... some Mexican Oxtail Soup which is more like a real spicy stew.

OR... a rice and shrimp salad

[Hardrada]

81. Ludefisk

and lefse!


Tak skal du ha!
Luther College, Rah rah rah!

[yellowdogintexas]

82. The Most Excellent Fresh Broccoli Salad, since we have a

shortage of vegetable side dishes.

I could also bring the Stroke Inducing Squash Casserole, or the
Heart Attack Inducing Asparagus Casserole

or Cheese Grits Souffle.


I got into this too late to bid on dessert, as it looks like we have plenty.

[Kire]

83. Chips & Salsa

the most fantabuLous meaL i ever came up with on the spur of the moment.. and whiLe mostLy sober.

[Chan790]

85. Vegetarian Mexican of some sort.

with cheese on the side for the vegan crowd....and NO LARD. That's my peeve, the Mexican places near me keep using lard ingredients in the *labelled* veggie food.

[NYdemocrat089]

86. Ziti

Easy to make and most people like it at group events.

[Merrick]

87. I'd bring crab cakes and Dogfish Pale Ale

then get really upset and embarassed and accuse you of knowing what I was bringing and making/bringing the same just to make me look like a jerk and cause a big scene before storming out.

[LynneSin]

88. I figured you were just gonna try and distract me...

...and steal the stuff I was bringing

BUt I like your idea much better!

[salin]

Norwegian meatballs

much more tasty than regular cocktail meatballs, or swedish meatballs (at least per the recipe passed down in my family) - have to prepare them more than a day in advance so that the onions, gravy, and other goodies blend the flavors to become fully savory.

Have to admit that my mother was never much of a cook - except for a couple of family dishes passed down by the generations, and nothing is like the norwegian meatballs.
