Looking for some new ideas for our neighborhood get together! I’m feeling uninspired.
In the past I’ve taken: Potato salad Ribs Corn salad Fruit cobbler Deviled eggs Cucumber salad It’s a pretty unadventurous crowd in terms of food preferences. What is everyone taking to their potlucks? |

| The answer is always pigs in a blanket. Even the snootiest people eat them when they think nobody’s looking. |

| Balled watermelon with mint leaves. People really get excited about balled fruit. |

| I make creamed corn in the slow cooker that everyone loves. Shave fresh corn on the cob into the slow cooker with cream cheese, cream and milk, butter , salt pepper and sugar. One time at a party I took it to a guy was eating this on a hot dog and I said well that’s an interesting way to eat it. He said, this is my third helping, I’m just looking for new vehicles for the corn. |

I want all of the above.
But if you are going to the WASPY-iest of WASPY picnics, take "millionaire bacon." (Probably should be renamed "billionaire bacon" to account of inflation.) Broil bacon coated with brown sugar. Maybe a little fresh ground pepper if you're so inclined. Put it out on a tray. Hot, or room temp, is fine. Watch it disappear before you turn around. Leftovers (of which there are never any, but you can hoard some for yourself later) can be crumpled in a salad or in scrambled eggs. |

It’s not a judgement it’s a health concern. |

Second the caprese skewers. Bite-sized, travel well, can sit out for a good amount of time.
We’re not doing a party this year, just the local fireworks, and are planning to bring a watermelon-heavy fruit salad to snack on. |

| I don't get the appeal of watermelon and feta salad. Every time I have tried to make it, the water draining from the watermelon "melts" the feta and the salad becomes a ugly mess. |
