Perhaps some nice dinner rolls or sliced artisan breads (accompanied
with real butter)? Or maybe a variety of crackers and cheeses?

They'll likely also get plenty of desserts. Will there be electricity
to keep things warm? Coolers to keep things cold?

Major garden salad, with ten different veggies, canned beans, pasta,
olives, cheese/sausage cubes, homemade dressing

Pasta salad. Large pasta shapes. Large shell is perfect if you can find it.
All sorts of raw veggies cut to the size of the pasta. Black olives and
green stuffed olives. Freshly parsley snipped. Green or other onions. Can
add kidney beans, cubes of Swiss cheese, hard/dry salami cut in slices then
strips. Italian dressing, salt, pepper. Cook, drain and cool the pasta then
mix it all together.

Always appreciated, little labor, and easily transported... just bring

Good it's your fetish as you'll be eating most yourself, a lot of
people don't care for yogurt.

Ratatouille.

it can be served cold so if the host is hassled there's no need to
fuss about in the kitchen reheating.

it's a safe choice for any vegetarians, but meat eaters love it too and
it goes with grilled chicken.

if there's any left over it'll be even better the next day

if you have a glut of tomatoes and zucchini it'll be really cheap to
make.

Tabouli or some other vegetable-heavy dish. I don't ever seem to be
able to get enough vegetables at potlucks; it's always meats and
carbs as far as the eye can see.

Maybe that's because I'm in the Midwest...

Excellent idea!
I use a bit laurel and oregano, too. No lemon, but some pure apple juice
when it's cooked down quite far.
Easily done in a rice cooker ...

Another way to get rid of zucchini in a pleasant way:

Zucchini, Korean style

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds zucchini (any size as long as the skin isn't really hard)
3 Tbs neutral cooking oil (I prefer sunflower seed)
3 garlic cloves (or as many as you prefer)
3 longish red peppers (hot or mild; depends on your taste) "
1 dash roasted Sesame seed oil
3 Tbs sugar (or less)
5 Tbs soy Sauce or
1 Ts salt
2-4 Tbs unflavored Vinegar

Wash zucchini, trim the ends, half or quarter lengthwise (depending on the
size), cut up diagonally in slices of 1/4 to 1/3 inch.
Heat up the neutral oil in a large pan/skillet with the garlic halved
lengthwise and the peppers halved diagonally or whole. Don't brown the
garlic much, it tends to get bitter otherwise!
Add the zucchini and the sugar, stir and let them brown a bit, stir again,
reduce the heat, add soy sauce or salt and vinegar and let simmer until
the zucchini are done and most of the liquid has evaporated.
Adjust salt/sweet/sour to taste.
Serve at any temperature, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.
Keeps very well in an air-tight container in the fridge and gets even
better then. Therefore, you may multiply the amounts used - left-overs
are no problem. If there happen to be any, that is...

You may prepare dried and hydrated shiitake, stems removed, the same way.
Or lotus roots.

Bye, Sanne.

The pot lucks I've attended were always heavy on desserts and pasta
salad and potato salad. It's hard to say without knowing what else is
in the lineup other than grilled chicken. Side dishes? How about Chex
Snack mix? Potato chips and dip.

We had a lot of pot lucks at work. We had a sign-up sheet specifiying
what was already being provided. Bring one of the missing items. Fresh
greens/salad was usually one of them. The men who didn't cook
invariably signed up to bring paper plates, plastic knives/forks and
napkins. The company started providing those so they had to figure out
something else. It's not easy, unless you know what other people are
already bringing.

We didn't do pot lucks at work, we would all agree on a menu and a
price, and food was purchased and prepared in the shop kitchen or
outdoors on a large grill and in large pots... the welders made the
large cooking equipment.

How about prosciutto and melon. When we threw a big party for my wife's
birthday that was one of the things I prepared and it was a big hit.
Melons are good at this time of the year. It's easy enough to throw
together and despite the high cost per pound for prosciutto, it is cut
so thin that it doesn't take much.

I was one of those "office workers" you seem to deplore. We had pot
lucks frequently. The company provided the meat, the employees brought
the side dishes. Desserts (store bought pies and cakes) seemed to be
most common.

A friend of ours used to host pot luck parties but he only invited
people who he knew would bring interesting dishes. Just this week I
read an advice column letter from someone wondering how to deal with a
friend whose contribution to their groups pot luck meals were
insultingly cheap, like a bowl of rice. I disagreed with the advice,
which was to accept it graciously and thank her. I would be more likely
to exclude her.

I saved this recipe. Almost what I do with fresh corn anyway
but with a few additions.

Don't bother breaking ears in half first though. That would
be a pain in the butt. I hold a whole ear and cut off the
bottom 2/3 first, then reverse and cut off the remaining 1/3.
One ear of corn yields a very generous pile of corn for
one serving.

I always cut fresh corn off the cob and eat or bag it
to freeze later on. I just microwave it and add some butter.

Next time I'll try your way. Brown the butter (I do this for
eggs all the time) and add some thyme and probably a bit of
basil. Stir that all up until hot. Sounds very tasty to me.

G.

I bring a large crockpot of baked beans.

I gave up on "work" pot lucks cuz everyone brought store-bought junk
or worse. What's worse? Take-out pizza, take-out Chinese, Chicken
buckets, etc. It was like nobody knew how to cook.

The only dish I ever saw that was home-cooked was some mamasita baked
two(2) goats heads for the Holloween pot-luck. She even put the
eyeballs back in. Those heads were scary, to be sure, but myself and
my Vietnamese engineer buddy loved every bit. We ate the flesh,
mostly from the head (cabeza), and had both heads to ourselves.
Mmmmmm..... Good eats!

Now, our local pot-lucks are all home cooked. My mac n' cheese is a
requested dish.

hmmm. I've never described a dish as "lovely."
Mars vs Venus, I suppose.
