ok, now i'm actually excited
We're having a holiday potluck later this month at our bimonthly staff meeting, and I was dreading both it and the white elephant gift exchange. I really didn't want to spend any more money, but now I think I've got it covered.
For a potluck dish, I'm making cheesy potatoes. For a white elephant gift, cookies from Cookie Day 2007 in a nice tin. My boss said he might bring homemade hot sauce as a white elephant gift, and that's one I would actually fight somebody for... his sauces are legendary.
We've got a list of what folks are bringing to the potluck so far:
cheesy potatoes, baked beans, bbq weenies, a fruit plate, subs, tandoori chicken, and something called the "#4 steak special" which I got a laugh out of.
