Weekend Open Thread – beragampengetahuan – Beragampengetahuan

I’ve only ever attended potluck Thanksgivings. Usually host makes the turkey, potatoes, gravy, and a few sides and provides beer, wine, and soft drinks. Guests bring appetizers, other sides, desserts, and more wine (though that’s usually more of a hostess gift). The host coordinates who is bringing what so all bases are covered and there aren’t duplications (unless intended).

As for the omission of liquor from the above: one side of my family doesn’t drink liquor so it’s not needed. The other side of my family is pretty particular so people tend to BYO.

My entire extended family lives less than 30 minutes away, so we don’t have any of the concerns of the pot pie on this morning’s thread. In fact, my aunt and uncle live next door to my parents and another aunt lives about an 8 minute walk away, so they just walk over (which is great as there’s no worry about drinking and driving).
