I want to know who prepped the dish and under what circumstance before it comes anywhere near my mouth. Maybe it comes from being a product of an excellent cook who was also a little on the ocd when it comes to kitchen cleanliness....<BR/><BR/>Good news, I am a lot more adventurous on things I will try in a dish - and, so far, my kids have followed suit.

Except probably when I was a kid in elementary school and wanted to stay to hang out with my friends. But my parents hated them, so we never stayed.<BR/><BR/>Now MY KIDS want to stay, and we do about 1/3 - 1/2 of the time. But I still hate it. I don't care what people bring, I don't have to eat it. But it would be nice if everyone staying would BRING ENOUGH TO FEED AT LEAST THEIR OWN FAMILY, never mind a guest or two. I hate potlucks with not enough food, and that seems to be the way most of them that I attend are. Our family hauls in 3 or 4 giant things, and since we don't rush to the food, we often get NOTHING. (Or are grateful for the beans that no one else would eat.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, when I first found your blog, I didn't "get" the potluck thing at first. And I had a little hang-up probably because I hate potlucks. But now they're funny. I LOVE them! I wish the ones at church were this fun!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984115229811752666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454170281597278721.post-14744267762473456832008-07-04T15:41:00.000-05:002008-07-04T15:41:00.000-05:00Meat.Meat.Life in the Crazy Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16230345258874253131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454170281597278721.post-46371461959998287742008-07-01T21:04:00.000-05:002008-07-01T21:04:00.000-05:00I'm not picky, but I REFUSE to eat stuffing/dressi...I'm not picky, but I REFUSE to eat stuffing/dressing/whatever you want to call that nasty stuff that makes the entire house smell like vomit while it's in the oven.
