Kurt,
Please don't think all of our gathering's meals are that "organized."
This was last year's potluck breakfast & dinner. It was a big group and there were a lot of people wondering what everyone else was going to bring or what types of things might be needed, so it just seemed easier to post a separate thread with the list.
Our potluck list for this year (although it has the same list of options) is not quite as intense. However, it is a bit more exotic as some of us have talked about DO dishes that include jackalope, camel and lutefisk.
As far as organization...um, I think anyone who knows me will attest to that being one of my (for lack of a better word) obsessions.
Well, that and the fact that I do a lot of dinner parties and group dinners. Occupational hazard...
Usually, we, like you, just show up and bring whatever offering we have at the time. A bit more spontaneous and low key. Oh, and the element of surprise is always fun.
Betsey
