Potlucks suck

At work today there is a potluck to celebrate Halloween and of course it is filled with cookies, cakes, fried crap and just over-all crap. I planned and brought my lunch and have been avoiding the lunch room like the plague. People were in there at 10am eating bowls of Macaroni and cheese and I actually felt nauseated.
I remember the days when I rejoiced at potlucks and would have seconds, AND dessert. I can tell that I have come a long way!
And that makes me smile:)

I would have brought something healthy for the PotLuck and maybe planned for extra exercise in case there was something I wanted to indulge in/with.

I chose not to participate in this one....maybe next time.
I did indulge in a little scoop of pumpkin dip and it was delicious with my banana!

Potlucks are usually AWESOME! I would choose far more carefully and frugally than in the past, though.

I remember one potluck years ago where everybody brought dessert. Except me, I baked sourdough bread.

I agree - but not for the same reason. I have NEVER liked eating from a potluck. Just creeps me out.

lol.....I agree. At work years ago, this woman I worked with would bring in her famous 'Snickerdoodles", cookies you roll with your hands, and dip in sugar, then bake. The guys in the office would just go nuts for them. One day her and I were in the office washroom at the same time. I noticed she didn't wash her hands. I had a good chuckle at their expense.
