Thursday Night Pot-Luck...

[mousepod]

Last week my sister was in town, so we threw together a last-minute dinner at our place. We had so much fun that we realized we should do it more often.

So in the spirit of fun, and for no other reason than "it's Thursday", we're going to have a pot-luck dinner at our place at 7p.m. to 10ish.

Two rules:

1. We have limited seating (8 around the table + 4 more), so you're gonna need to RSVP by, say, Wednesday. First 10 to RSVP and we close the list.

2. There are no food rules. You can bring anything you want. A salad, an entree, dessert, take-out, leftovers, anything. No poison (OK, so that's a rule, but it's pretty common sense). If we wind up with all salads, we'll order pizza. If we have no dessert, well, Winchell's is open 24 hours...

I will make sure we have plenty of fuzzy water.

PM me with your RSVP.

Hope to see you then!

Why must I live so far from all the fun stuff :(

Have a good time peoples!

Tell me about it....

[Gn2Dlnd]

I think a potluck of foods containing the word "pot" would be fun. Handicap: no pot brownies or any other marijuana laced food.

[Kevy Baby]

Tell me about it....In your case, its intentional.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Well, I usually try not to leave it up to luck.

But I'm sure we'll find ourselves up there some thursday(s) or other(s).

[Gemini Cricket]

I dunno. I may have to work late that night. My boss is kinda mean.

[Not Afraid]

I have a walkies about 6:30 but will head up after that. Chris may be available too, but I can't speak for him. (Or I can just drag him along under protest.)

[Gemini Cricket]

I'm there.
:)

[mousepod]

So as it currently stands, we're at 7. Maybe 9. Just so's you know.

[innerSpaceman]

Tempted, but i'm so bad at food.

[Snowflake]

:(
Tempted, too far away.

[LSPoorEeyorick]

I've got a crunch at night this week, but if I can clear enough of it out before Thursday, I'd be happy to join in.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I would love to join you, if there is still room. And if there is still room, please let me know what you'd like me to bring. Lovely of you both to put this together.

[mousepod]

Here's the "for sure" list so far:

1. Heather
2. me
3. Gn2Dlnd
4. Gemini Cricket
5. NotAfraid
6. €uro
7. Chernabog
8. iSm
9. EH1812

We have at least two "maybes"....

[Morrigoon]

No money for gas right now, but this is definitely something I'd do on a future date, if offered (I swear, one of these days I WILL make a MousePod event!)

[€uroMeinke]

Are we talking this Thursday? If so, I'll need to reschedule my hair appointment. Then again, I'm driving in to work that day so maybe Lisa and I can join late?

[lashbear]

Put me down for a "Maybe".

[innerSpaceman]

Then again, I'm driving in to work that day so maybe Lisa and I can join late?
That's good, 'cause I'm bringing dessert. It will be yummy.

[Chernabog]

Sadly, I think I am a "maybe" too. Work is killing me, literally. I can't keep up this level of stress and my FU<KING BOSS hasn't shown up for 2 days or returned phone calls.

I came |thisclose| today to having a complete hissy fit and walking off the job. Unfortunately I don't want to eat through all my savings yet. Nor would just exiting be completely professional.

OK, so this should be in the vent thread. ;)

[alphabassettgrrl]

**hugs** Sorry you're having such a hard time, Cherny. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

[€uroMeinke]

Ok, I rescheduled my hair appointment - so if I look shaggy - it's your fault

[mousepod]

I just bought an extra 36" x 72" table at Target, and Heather picked up 8 more chairs. This will be a comfortable shindig.

...and there's nothing wrong with a shaggy €uro.

[innerSpaceman]

Zoinks!

[Gemini Cricket]

...and there's nothing wrong with a shaggy €uro.
...and there's nothing wrong with scooby either, €uro.

[katiesue]

...and there's nothing wrong with scooby either, €uro.

But we have to draw the line at a Scrappy €uro.

[BarTopDancer]

But we have to draw the line at a Scrappy €uro.

But Scrappy €uro could be fun!

[lizziebith]

Can't attend this time, but sometime we'd love to! We really need to get out more...

[Not Afraid]

I will do doggie dinner at 6 then head up after that.

[Morrigoon]

Chinese food, huh?

(ooh, that was one of my worse attempts...)

[mousepod]

Chairs & table in place. Room for a couple more...

[Gn2Dlnd]

I'm looking forward to it.

Is anyone bringing quorn?

[Not Afraid]

I have no idea what I'm bringing and I'm in a bit of a panic over it.

[Gn2Dlnd]

Joe's a definite probable no-go 'cause of work. If I should pick up a date at the Century City farmer's mkt., I'll bring him instead. Who knows, maybe he'll supply fresh produce.

Assuming that won't happen, do we have a list of what's being brought so we can fill in the empty trivets? I'm making Caesar salad. I can also bring mashed fauxtatoes if we need a hot veg/starch. Who's got the bacon commitment?

I probably won't be able to check this thread until I get home from my mkt., so if you need to contact me, use the good old phone. I'm still not figuring out how to twitter from my cell.

[Gn2Dlnd]

I have no idea what I'm bringing and I'm in a bit of a panic over it.

You're bringing quiche.

Or lasagna.

Something casserolle-y.

[innerSpaceman]

If i have any money left over as I cruise by the Parmesan Palace this afternoon, I'll pick up some thin crisps in addition to dessert. :p

[CoasterMatt]

Hop in a Plymouth Satellite, and bring some quiche lorraine...

[LSPoorEeyorick]

I am bringing corn-and-bean cilantro salad.

[innerSpaceman]

Is that with corn or quorn?

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I am bringing a tomato and cucumber salad and possibly a store bought hot something. Been working late-ish and getting home very late because of the bus commute, so haven't had time to cook. My apologies.

[Gemini Cricket]

No idea what I'm bringing. I work until 6pm, so I'll see what we're lacking at that point and bring that.

[Kevy Baby]

Who knows, maybe he'll supply fresh produce.So he might produce produce?

[Gn2Dlnd]

So he might produce produce?

He, sadly, remains fictional.

On my way to Trader Joe's for lettuce and whatnot. Looks like we're pretty heavy on salads, call me if I should pick up something more substantial.

[Kevy Baby]

Is it too late to join for tonight (especially considering I am still behind the Orange Curtain)?

[CoasterMatt]

Have fun everybody!

[belleh5]

Why must I live so far from all the fun stuff



PLEASE!!! :rolleyes:



I hope everyone had a great time!!

[innerSpaceman]

Is it too late to join for tonight (especially considering I am still behind the Orange Curtain)?


Um [looks at watch] ... yes.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

The tweets made it sound divine

[Not Afraid]

Anyone with garlic breath this morning?

[BarTopDancer]

Since it's not always feasible to drive to LA on a weeknight, we should have an OC potluck on Thursday nights and join together via web cam and twitter.

[innerSpaceman]

Mmmm. never too much Garlic.



Thanks so much to the mousepod and the devine Mrs. H. for a wonderful evening of gastronomic and companionship delights!

[Morrigoon]

OMG, that would be so fun! We could skype!

[Snowflake]

Even in lieu of Tref's posting and GC's accident, etc., feeling just a tad bitter this morning.......
