A potluck meal may be the most common form of magic. Each person brings what they personally have to offer, and everyone is fed—without planning or management, simply relying on the gathered community to be, by definition, enough.
What is your favorite thing to bring to a potluck?
Pickles are my favorite thing to take to a pot luck. You see, although I prepare other dishes sometimes and often don’t mind doing so, I often turn up with a juicy, soupy dish that I worry about carrying without spilling it all over the car. Now, don’t get me wrong! I have carriers but somehow the transportation never seems to work out the right way for me. So when I am anticipating going to a pot luck, I opt for a jar or two (maybe olives) that I buy at the store and take, open and offer as my contribution. I’m not the most popular pot luck contributor.
