Potluck gathering.

I am a huge fan of Potluck.I love Potluck concept everytime bila plan nak buat gathering with family and friends. Boleh rasa home-cooked yang sedap-sedap, tukar-tukar resepi....walaupun penat, tapi seronok.Potluck are more then just eating someone else cooking...

Last sunday and monday, I ada 2 potluck gathering for hari raya. Dua hari berturut2. Pening nak fikirkan nak bawak apa,yang senang tapi sedap and boleh masak cepat pagi2 before pergi office.First potluck gathering is an outdoor BBQ party, kawan-kawan husband I from UTP yang organized. Macam-macam ada - kaki kambing, badan kambing, ayam, sotong, udang, etc. Kecoh dan riuh bila ramai sangat budak-budak lelaki bakar-membakar ni....

Second potluck gathering with my office mate- combined two lab . Ni dah jadi tradisi tiap-tiap tahun we all buat untuk our Unit. Since our lab , 80% lelaki...confirm la yang kaum majoriti tak bawak potluck...malass. So, selalunya we all collect 'duit ikhlas' from them untuk beli sate + makanan2 yang lain. Walaupun bermacam-macam kerenah : ada yang bagi duit tak ikhlas, muka ketat,berkira, mengungkit, tapi makan berpinggan-pinggan...macam-macam la perangai bila dah ramai2 tu. But,we did end the 'kontroversi' gathering with an awesome potluck. Million thanks untuk semua yang bertungkus lumus menjayakan dengan ikhlasnya majlis raya kita tahun ni.

Everytime nak bawak makanan untuk potluck...kena fikir tasty foodstuff , items that can travel a bit - that don't have to be prepared hot in the kitchen dan yang paling penting won't seem too out of place next to home-cooked dishes.Potluck dishes have to be easy to transport, easy to serve, and easy to impress! Jom...kita share sama-sama..quick and easy potluck food


1.BBQ party..

Quick and Easy - Fruit Salad always a big hit at all the potlucks ..so far.


I bawak fruit salad untuk BBQ party...sebab takut muak makan daging banyak sangat, and everyone seems to love this 'mengelat' potluck.hehe. These are quick and really easy ideas to bring to your potluck or party. Whether it’s for an office party, family or friends gathering party.
Yang penting...buah kena fresh: Honey Dew, orange, green apple, kiwi and seedless crunchy grape- mix with French Salad Dressing from Kraft.


Macaroni and Cheese – This dish is very fast and easy to make.


Memang kesuntukan masa nak buat creamy mac and cheese yang proper- kena bake, lepas tu kena ada cream, egg, mustard. Tak sempat...Ahad tu banyak sangat aktiviti waktu pagi.I just buat yang classic version, stovetop mac & cheese. Boil macaroni, drain the pasta, mix atas api dengan butter, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozarella cheese ..stir until melted and creamy.Don't forget to season with salt and black pepper. Kids love mac and cheese! Walaupun simple, this is definitely better than the boxed mac and cheese!

2.@Office..

My signature dish : Honey Garlic Chicken Wings - Sure-fire dish to bring to a potluck

Get compliments on this wherever I take it. It is super easy to make and a great dish to bring to a potluck or family party. Mix togetehr with chicken wing- Garlic, soy sauce,honey, oyster sauce..That's it. Bake 45 minutes and baste occasionally. Lastly, Sprinkle with italian herbs and lemon (optional).I make this for a lot of pot luck and I never take any home... :). Perasan kan..

Aglio Olio with Prawn
This dish has both....simple and kenyang. Walaupun lagi sedap makan panas-panas...tapi den bawak...habis dan licin jugak. :)
Sedap..sampai tak pandang dah camera. Our office tak cantik macam office2 yang lain, penuh dengan file, server, equipment, cable, :). Makan pun celah-celah rack


Sesi bergambar...



Ini je la...antara bunga-bunga yang ada kat our Lab. Huhu
