Okay, kitties. I am trying to get a feel for how many people are coming and what you are bringing. I hope everyone is excited! I know I am!
If you are new here and have no idea what I'm talking about, here are the details: I will be hosting a free potluck at Wild Goose Creative this Sunday, January 31st, at 7pm. Wild Goose is an open creative space (think blank store front) in SoHud - that's my 'hood!! (map) (read about last year's dinner)
Who can come: Absolutely anyone. Doesn't matter if you don't know anyone. For my first few dinners, I didn't know anyone who was coming and I am very shy and it was just fine. Lots of single people come, and there is always lots of diversity, so you can come no matter who you are, who you bring with you, or if you come solo. I think you will be surprised to find how awesome everyone is.
There are lots of people coming who I don't know, so don't think this is just something for my friends!
What should I wear: whatever you want. I'm super casual.
Can kids come? If they are cute. (just kidding, all kids are cute). I do believe there are some toys and the like at Wild Goose, so if you can't find a babysitter, don't let that stop you from coming.
What if I can't cook? No worries! You can bring your favorite beverage or a favorite carryout item from a grocery (the Hills, Carfagna's & Weilands are both good for this sort of thing), whatever.
What if I can't cook "gourmet?" will people be snobby? Let's face it - 7 layer salad and buckets of chicken are delicious. They might not be gourmet, but they're potluck staples for a reason.
What are we going to do? um, eat! and talk. that's it. no agenda.
Does this cost? Nope! Although it would be nice if you brought some cash to donate to Wild Goose, because they are super awesome and need to put in a cushioned wood floor so they can host dance parties and yoga classes.
What if I can't bring anything? Then don't! Just come. I don't mind
What should I bring? Whatever you would like. If it is your signature dish, and you would like to tell the world about it, please feel free to bring the recipe with you.
I just took a tour of the Elevator Brewing Company and they are donating beer! How awesome is that?! I am pretty sure I have some wine lined up as well!
So, what now?
Please let me know if you plan to come. I will be buying plates and the like and would love to have a good idea of how many to buy! If you don't plan to come, no need to reply.
Please let me know also what style of dish you are planning to bring - you don't have to tell me what it is if you don't want to, but I'd love to know if you consider it a main, side, salad, or dessert. This will help me inform my decisions on what to make big enough for everyone.
Okay! So, your assignment, should you accept it:
Leave a comment or email me with:
your number of people
what you are bringing.
If you don't drink alcohol, what non-alcoholic drinks should I supply?
Yay! I'm so excited for the potluck!
