At many potlucks, you'll find four simple salads, three crockpots of beans, four trays of cheesy potatoes, and two dozen cakes. Don't bring those.
Nobody ever brings meat (although sometimes that's the sponsor-supplied item). I often smoke a turkey breast or a pair of roaster chickens. Cluadia makes a killer fruit salad and together we get invited EVERYwhere. Had one at a private home last week where I provided Bloody Marys (four kinds) and Claudia made her fruit salad. Already have two more invites.
