Potluck Recipes (needed)

I've never seen a good old garlic bread loaf go uneaten at a potluck! If you're really busy you can buy an already made one. If you want to make it you need a long loaf of French, Italian, or sourdough bread (I prefer sourdough bread), split it, and add some softened butter or margarine (you can add a bit of olive oil to the butter/margarine when it's soft, then add your herbs and spices. Garlic, of course, is #1. Dice the garlic into fine pieces, or rub the bread with a garlic clove. The other spices are up to you; I use oregano, basil, a touch of tarragon, onion powder/salt, a tad of dill, and whatever else I feel like. When you're done, wrap it in foil and right before you go, put it in a 350-400 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes. Take it out, wrap it in several kitchen towels, put it in a cloth grocery bag if you have a clean one. Take a knife so you can cut pieces in the bread before serving.
That's what it's like for all of our family gatherings, too... but when it's summer and outside, I really wish they'd opt for other dishes. The mayo can really be a health risk... but they don't listen and keep bringing it. Sometimes I eat it and sometimes I don't... and after sitting out in the heat for more than an hour, it needs to be tossed but still I see people picking at the leftovers. NOT good!
Although it sounds totally delicious and would go great with a lot of potluck dishes, I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen a garlic bread loaf at a potluck or picnic. I don't think I have... I'll need to keep this in mind.
Once for a potluck I made a dozen muffins, and the first few people took two apiece; so much for my contribution. With a garlic bread you've got alot more pieces for more servings, plus if you've made it nice and spicy people will restrict themselves.

Take a package of frozen mixed vegetables, thaw in microwave, mix with mayonaise and cooked spiral pasta shape. Serve cold.
Hey, this sounds great! A whole lot easier than the pasta salad I'm planning to make this morning for tonight's dinner. Actually maybe I'll have to make it a little more healthy and add some veggies now that I've read this.
