You want to come up with something respectable that you can’t mess up and will keep Janine from Pilates from throwing you sideways looks. You figure that you’ll just bring the paper goods, but you cringe when you think about how you’re going to have to listen to Tiffany recant every detail of the six hour process that went into making her grandmother’s one of a kind pie. When your cooking skills only extend to making grilled cheese on a hot plate, you know nothing you try to make is going to compare to what other people are going to show up with.

Unfortunately, when it comes to potlucks, you’re probably expected to bring some kind of contribution. They give us an opportunity to take a break from a constant montage of cup noodles and mooch off our friend’s amazing cooking skills. Potlucks can be great for those of us who can’t cook or are too lazy to.
