What you bring to a potluck?

Last week end I went to a pot luck. The occasion? Ella, my friend's new colleague's (from her new job) house warming. Ya.... I know you might be wondering, shouldn't the host provide the food right? Well I was asking the same question. The excuse was, he don't cook, his wife don't either. And I was thinking we are all not Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver either.

And why was I even invited? OK, I was really restless, called Ella out for dinner & she told me about this house warming she's going to. Swanky neighborhood, big nice house, was I curious? Yes I was !!! So that's how I got invited. The host told everyone to bring something as he's afraid there might not be enough food, as he only cater for like 20 & 40 people are coming.

What I brought? I went to buy a pecan pie. It's not a pot luck unless there's a pecan pie & delicious wine of course. I got a bottle as well. In fact there were others that thought like me. We end up having many bottles of wine- the party is looking very promising ...lol...

Ella brought 2 soya sauce chicken from Crystal Jade. I was thinking strange choice- but it turn out to be a big crowd favorite, as was my pecan pie ..... It was a great success thanks in part to the endless supply of wine.

Was pretty impressed with this !!!
