RECIPE — What On Earth Is This Sorry Excuse For A Collection Of Soups And Stews?

Oh, my word! The audacity of showing up to a potluck empty-handed is simply appalling! It’s like walking into a restaurant and expecting to be served without even glancing at the menu. Utterly disrespectful and embarrassing! To prevent such a social faux pas, let’s whip up a recipe so simple that even the most incompetent of cooks can manage.

Let’s start with a classic and foolproof recipe for a simple yet delicious veggie dip. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon dried dill
• 1 tablespoon dried chives
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Assorted fresh veggies for dipping (carrots, celery, bell peppers, etc.)

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth.
2. Stir in the dried parsley, dill, chives, garlic powder, and onion powder until well blended.
3. Season the dip with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Arrange the assorted fresh veggies on a platter alongside the veggie dip, and voilà! You’ve contributed to the potluck without breaking a sweat.

Now, for the wine pairing, let’s keep it simple yet sophisticated. A crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc from Cloudy Bay in New Zealand would be an impeccable choice. Its zesty citrus notes and herbaceous flavors will beautifully complement the freshness of the veggie dip and add a touch of elegance to your potluck contribution.

Remember, showing up empty-handed to a potluck is like showing up to a restaurant without your wallet — simply unacceptable! So, get cooking and bring something to the table, before you’re shunned from all future potluck gatherings!

Where’s the Respect in Showing Up Empty-Handed to a Potluck? If you’re thinking of arriving at a potluck with empty hands and an empty stomach, it’s time to reconsider your potluck etiquette.

The whole point of a potluck is to share and contribute, not to freeload off other people’s culinary efforts. So, unless you want to risk being labeled as the potluck pariah, it’s time to get cracking in the kitchen and bring something to the table.
