Speaking of mac&cheese, what are you bringing to the Lounge holiday potluck?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

My slow cooker hot links in bbq sauce on potato buns with creamy coleslaw! 😋

[MontanaMama]

1. What brand of hot links

do you recommend FRT?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

4. 😋

[Arkansas Granny]

2. Does this go well with mac & cheese?

[sl8]

3. Wow, vegetable-egg cake.

Like fruitcake, only without all the charisma.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

5. Are you certain you dont want that all for yourself? 😏

[Arkansas Granny]

7. Oh, no. It looks like there's plenty to share.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

8. Thats what I was afraid of! 😰

[MontanaMama]

6. Gah!

Make it go away!!!

[Laffy Kat]

23. You've already got the gelatin mold covered.

Darn, I was going to bring a lime Jello mold. I guess I'll have to go to plan B and bring carrot and raisin salad.

[diva77]

28. May I have the recipe, please? (so I can give it to my enemy)

I brought a takeaway container:

[jmowreader]

35. I can't imagine that going well with anything

[Kali]

46. gack!

[DangerousUrNot]

52. The hell is that?!

[DashOneBravo]

55. I'll eat it ma'am

If it's deep fried

[Arkansas Granny]

56. That might be a little tricky, but if they can deep fry butter. . . .

[DashOneBravo]

57. Well there goes my saying ..

I'll eat anything deep fried. That had my cholesterol going up just from the video.

I stopped at a gas station in northern Mississippi and they had everything, sliced pickles, whole corn and a bunch of others too. I love the south.

11. True story:

Late sixties a friend invited me to thanksgiving dinner with several friends and friends of friends. About twenty of us altogether. Some of us brought weed which quickly went up in smoke. I called some providers, none of which could help us out. Our hostess said “for Christ’s sake someone has got to have some pot!”

A guest of a guest visiting from Costa Rica said “I have pot!” Someone asked him how much. He replied “this much!” using his hands to form a block about twelve inches square.

It was the best tasting thanksgiving meal I’ve ever eaten!

[Arkansas Granny]

17. You didn't say it was that kind of party. In that case I'll bring

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. All is forgiven!

[Ptah]

19. We sing about beauty and we sing about truth

[Floyd R. Turbo]

60. ✌🏻

[Kali]

48. oh yeah

had a friend when I was a teen who named her big old red horse Panama Red. we would partake then ride and sing songs.

[Ptah]

58. You must have avoided Winslow, Holbrook and Flagstaff

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Candle salads.

My mom once served these to our family one Sunday dinner, which reduced my dad, my brother and me to hysterics and caused mom to accuse us of having dirty minds. But then she joined in the hilarity.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

12. Words fail me!

[DashOneBravo]

59. My Southern Baptist mother would've fainted

And then smacked us on the head.

[bdamomma]

80. now that is rather different!

rather creative.

[Phentex]

13. MIRTLOAF with a side of

troll salad

[Floyd R. Turbo]

14. Mirtloaf gives me gas!

[sarge43]

15. Green bean casserole - no potluck complete without one

[Floyd R. Turbo]

16. Amen to that! 😋

[Tipperary]

20. That looks yummy. I wonder if I can find those. Are they in the hot dog section?

Where do you get the mini-buns?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

21. I get them at Costco. They are usually in the hotdog section at my local market. The buns are normal

size. The camera angle makes the one in the image look small. Enjoy!

[Tipperary]

22. Thank you! I will look for them.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

24. I'm lucky if I can microwave a cup of water without burning it.

I'll stick with something easy. I didn't even know this existed until I ran across it on the interwebz last week.

Hot Dog Tater Tot Casserole Recipe

What could be more kid-friendly than a tater tot casserole? It's hard to beat the combination of crispy potatoes, savory meat, and melted cheese. This version of the recipe is made with hot dogs instead of ground beef. I also use sweet potato tater tots in this recipe, but feel free to use regular ones if you prefer.

I recommend horseradish mustard for this recipe. It sounds like it would be too spicy for the kids, but it's such a small amount so it just lends a background zippiness to this casserole. Use your own judgement. If your kids really prefer less spice in their foods, use the yellow mustard instead.

Tell me that the kids aren't going to down this.

Another thing like this:

[Floyd R. Turbo]

61. Yum! 😋

[mahatmakanejeeves]

64. I've a cold or the flu for about a week now. I'm down to comfort food from

the microwave or a toaster oven. Lots of fries, burgers, tater tots.

Mmmmmmmmm.

That stuff in the OP looks pretty good. I think I could handle something that complex.

We're having a potluck at work next week. I'm afraid that if I bring in anything, it will make the newspapers.

[red dog 1]

25. I'll pass on your hot links in bbq sauce with coleslaw

but I'll bring the potato salad.
(I'm famous for my potato salad, among my friends)

Cooked but not over-cooked red potatoes, chopped up hard boiled eggs, black olives (Jumbo), chopped up dill pickles, and mayonnaise...topped with cut up green onions (Scallions)

(I NEVER buy potato salad from a deli)

[Floyd R. Turbo]

62. Oh man! 😋

[Glorfindel]

26. Fried chicken, of course. What's a potluck without fried chicken?

And LOTS of it!

[jmowreader]

34. Breaded in cornflakes, right?

[Glorfindel]

39. Yes.

Yum!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

63. Save me a wing and drumstick! 🍗😋

[rurallib]

27. spotted dick!

no potluck is complete without some!

[Arkansas Granny]

37. The first time I heard of that I thought it was a disease.

[Glorfindel]

40. Or a rather wonderful name for a racehorse

Preferably appaloosa.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

65. A whole other thread! 😏

[IcyPeas]

29. I'll bring these...... everyone's favorite......

[Floyd R. Turbo]

66. Delish! 😋

[Kaleva]

30. Deviled eggs left over from Thanksgiving

[Floyd R. Turbo]

67. Just the right amount of taint! 😋

[LeftInTX]

31. Tofu Key Lime Pie

My own recipe.

My kids LOVE to remind me about my misadventure with key lime pie.

Kids: "Why did you do it?"

Me: "Cuz it was healthy"

[jmowreader]

47. Oh my...

“Children, why did you stick your loving mother in a home?”

“Let us tell you about the tofu key lime pie...”

I wonder tho...since tofu is effectively soy-milk cheese, how would a tofu cheesecake be?

[LeftInTX]

50. I tried that one too

The key lime was a bit better.

When you think about it, it sounds good, but the kids hated it.

They wanted their beloved key lime pie, which was their treat. Tofu key lime pie wasn't bad, but it tasted more like a wholesome snack.

They resented their favorite desert being turned into a health food.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

68. Okey dokey!

[trueblue2007]

32. I WILL BRING DESSERT

Impeach mint ice cream

[jmowreader]

49. I agree with the sentiment BUT...

Isn’t serving that prohibited by the Geneva Convention?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

69. Bummer! Im lactose intolerant! 😢

[DFW]

33. NOW you tell me!

My wife's mom is going blind, so she runs up to her mom's town when she can, and that was Saturday, and I had to make my dinner myself. Fortunately, my wife is a master chef, and has taught me a thing or two. So, what I made was monkfish filets with scallops sautéed in olive oil with chopped onions and finely sliced garlic slivers, then lightly poached in white wine and lemon juice. Served with Swiss-style rösti on the side.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

70. Okay! 😋

[jmowreader]

36. I will bring my Special Beans

You will need:

#10 can of pork and beans
1-1/2 lb bacon, chopped into little pieces
3 cans Spam, diced and separated into two equal-size piles
1-1/2 lb hamburger
1 cup molasses
1 medium onion, diced very small
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Tabasco
Salt and pepper
If you have liquid smoke, one teaspoon of same

Equipment needed: either a big crock pot, a massive casserole dish, or a Dutch oven that'll hold all of this. One sieve. (If you don't have one and need to buy it, it looks like a hemisphere made out of window screen with a handle on it.) One bowl to put the sieve in. Little bowls to hold the various ingredients as you prepare them.

Process:
1. Fry the bacon. When it is done, pour everything in the pan into the sieve. When it just sits there and drips, shake it until the bacon is completely dry. Put the bacon in a bowl and the grease back in the pan.

2. Fry the onion, the garlic and half the Spam in the bacon grease. ONLY half! Drain like you did the bacon.

3. Fry the hamburger, the liquid smoke if used, and 1 tablespoon Tabasco in the bacon grease. Drain.

4. Combine everything in the cooking vessel. Pour the bacon grease from the bowl into the empty bean can, and throw the can away.

5. Cook for an hour or two to let the flavors combine.

Does not serve as many people as you think it will.

[Arkansas Granny]

38. You throw the bacon grease away????

That stuff is liquid gold where I come from. Potatoes and onions fried in a cast iron skillet with bacon grease is food for the gods.

OK, on a second read. I see you've adulterated it with Tabasco, so I'll let you slide this time.

[jmowreader]

44. By the time Im done with it, its no longer BACON grease

It is bacon-spam-hamburger grease with heavy doses of onion, garlic, Tabasco and liquid smoke. If you make soap or biodiesel it would be worth saving; otherwise, it’s not worth it.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

71. Bring extra! 😋

[left-of-center2012]

41. No need to thank me

[LeftInTX]

51. Thread winner!!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

72. Damn!

[left-of-center2012]

82. Think of the money you'll save from a traditional dinner

[Donkees]

42. Mulled Cider and Pecan Pie

[Floyd R. Turbo]

73. Yummy! 😋

[Kali]

45. green chile cheese cornbread

[Floyd R. Turbo]

75. I love that! 😋

[DangerousUrNot]

53. I dont like coleslaw but that looks good.

I might replace the coleslaw with potatoe salad. Yum!!!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

76. Try it! Potato salad on the side! 😋

[kedrys]

54. Poutine.

It's the law, eh.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

78. If not it should be, eh? 😋

[geardaddy]

77. Salmon, green onion, and cream cheese dip

with crackers.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

79. Outstanding! 😋

My wife makes a similar one with home smoked salmon, cream cheese and Tabasco!

[geardaddy]

81. That sounds delish!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

83. Very good! Her brother catches and smokes his own salmon. He and his wife have a variety of fruit

trees on their property so he uses a number of different woods including apple, cherry, pear, peach, and plum. 😋
