I gave up on "work" pot lucks cuz everyone brought store-bought junk
or worse. What's worse? Take-out pizza, take-out Chinese, Chicken
buckets, etc. It was like nobody knew how to cook.

The only dish I ever saw that was home-cooked was some mamasita baked
two(2) goats heads for the Holloween pot-luck. She even put the
eyeballs back in. Those heads were scary, to be sure, but myself and
my Vietnamese engineer buddy loved every bit. We ate the flesh,
mostly from the head (cabeza), and had both heads to ourselves.
Mmmmmm..... Good eats!

Now, our local pot-lucks are all home cooked. My mac n' cheese is a
requested dish.
