Hi all!

Tomorrow, I bake up breads for a work potluck. I seem the only baker
of real home made breads so was asked to bring enough for 40-50
servings.

Planning on a mustard-rye, a buttermilk-white and a general whole
wheat. Small buns that folks can make turkey samwiches with or have at
the side.

Suggestd butter logs to go with? One will be a garlic and bourbon
smoked black pepper but any decent ideas for a second and third one?
(There will be a 4th with plain butter).

Maybe dill and butter and perhaps finely minced chives and butter?

I quit going to those (when I was still working) cuz ppl would cook
nothing.

They'd all bring pre-bagged salad mixes, pre-made sprmkt cakes/pies,
KFC, Chinese take-out, etc, so long as they didn't hafta cook it,
themselves. Heck, I can buy that junk, anytime, and eat it myself.

Teasing pot-luck ppl here but seriously, I've always thought that
was such a stupid idea. When you go to work, screw all that
nonsense and just GET TO WORK.. Enjoy your own food once you get
home. If it was my company, I'd fire every one of you pot-luck
lunch slackers. I'd hire a bunch of illegal Mexicans that would
work for slave wages and work 12 hours a day with no pot-breaks
or pot-lunches.

Very funny. We used to have a lunchtime potluck for Christmas,
Mr. Scrooge.

Now we have drinks and snacks at the end of the day. Most of us
old folks preferred the potluck. I think the younger generation
prefers the free food.

Funny you should mention "illegal Mexicans". We had several legal
Mexicans and on one Halloween pot-luck, a mamasita cooked up two baked
goat's heads.

She left some meat on the heads --along with both eyeballs-- but put
most of the meat in a serving dish, in front of the heads. Those were
some scary looking goat heads

My Viet cow orker and I LOVED it. Made a mess o' goat "cabeza tacos"
and even ate an eyeball or two. We had both heads to ourselves. If I
knew how she did it, I'd bake up some cabrito cabezas, myself.

Dill and butter! That one works and would have forgotten it so thanks!
