Bring on the potluck

I always thought of potlucks as kind of an Old Ladies from Church kind of thing, but then I was invited to one last summer, when I was nineteen, and I had the best time! The variety of food was spectacular, and it was so much fun to have so many options! I loved taking home a little of everything for the next day, too! Now, I've tried to convince other friends that they're the way to go for an inexpensive but very enjoyable dinner!

I absolutely love potlucks. We did one a few years ago for Thanksgiving. We had loads of food and everyone had a great time...probably because he bought three handles of Maker's Mark whisky.

Potlucks are the most manegable way to have a great dinner party. It takes all the responsibility off of the host to prepare the food. When I host I tell all the guests that I will prepare the main dish then ask them to bring compliments to the meal. And wine of course.
