I'm a good cook, others will say great, but i only say good.....

I HATE going to church potlucks because
1. Not many "white" people know how to spice things correctly(im white myself so i can say)
2. The food texture is always overcooked on some dishes and is made for old people with no teeth to eat
3. Its random stuff that they just had in the cupboard and threw together, and tried to pass it off as a casserole

    Simple solution, don't go. Possibly go and don't eat. Apparently not everyone is classical chef like you are.

    4. I'm always afraid one of the casseroles has cat food in it - and I'm pretty sure this stems from a possible experience
    5. the egg salad sandwiches always have a little piece of shell in them
    6. the broccoli is grey

    Yes i was trained by the cooking gods to prepare my meals....im pretty much a prodigy, because thats what i was saying....

    All im saying is put some effort into the food, and it was a "snob" confession.....sheesh

    As far as going into a church.....its not really in the church itself, just the people in the church, which can sometimes be as cringing as the food

    Don't go; there are too many judgmental people there.

    I'm assuming that when you refer to a church potluck that you mean the absolutely free meal that people have volunteered to make out of the kindness of their hearts to feed their religious community once a week. Not something that you are paying for or being forced to eat, correct?

    And this is in the "food and nutrition" board, why??? Seems like it's more of a chit chat kind of random topic.

    Well my real life name is Sinny McSinnerson, so I'm suprised the earth doesn't split in half each time i attempt to go.

    And yes people, i realize its free and out of their hearts blah blah blah....and i don't chose to eat it.....im just being a beezy and complaining about it, kind of how a person will complain that their spouse tried to clean the house, but did it the way they don't like. We all have out beezy moments in life, and this one is mine:)

    edit:chose to not eat it

    Agreed with this. But I have never been to a bad church potluck. If the church folk cook that badly, I suggest finding a new church!!

    I'm moving down south so i can get some decent fried chicken and some greens and cornbread lol....

    This one time, some had put a can of sardines, a can of tuna, broccoli and some rice with cream of mushroom soup and called it "seafood suprise".......not any pepper or other seasonings.....just those ingredients.....

    Dear Posters,

    I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread, as well as offer a preview of some changes that will be debuted very soon at MyFitnessPal. These changes are being made with the express purpose of allowing more leeway in terms of what users can freely post on the site.

    The forum guidelines include this item:

    13) Topics about politics, religion, atheism, or sexuality are not allowed and will be deleted. This includes posting images or signatures. Unfortunately, we have seen that topics about either of these subjects are highly likely to result in heated arguments and disputes. If you really wish to discuss any of these topics, please google political forums, religious forums, etc. - there are plenty of other places to express your views.

    The condescending responses to the OP in this thread are pretty much exactly why this rule exists.

    In the past, with only a small crew of volunteer moderators to help keep the dialogue on the site positive and supportive, Mike has reluctantly had to create a rule which disallows any posts about these potentially divisive topics. Mike would greatly prefer to allow all of these topics to be discussed on the site, but so far, we haven’t had the resources to moderate such topics in a manageable fashion. Often the tone of the original thread is harmless, but as the threads proceed, members participating in such topics have been subject to insults or attacks, feelings have gotten hurt, and in more instances than we would like, a moderator wasn’t able to step in quickly enough to prevent this from happening.

    To help the situation and with the purpose of really letting conversation on the site blossom, two things are being done: the team has trained more moderators, and the site will very soon feature a new “Groups” feature.

    With Groups, Members will be able to form their own groups and invite other members to join. Each group would have it’s own forum, and group forums would have much more leeway in the range of topics discussed. So, for example, you’ll absolutely be able to create a faith-based, or politically leaning support group and discuss the exact range of topics you’d like to discuss. Groups will be able to host a much more diverse and mature range of conversations, and because groups will be able to moderate themselves, we hope they’ll be much better at protecting some of our more targeted populations from unwanted hassle. We plan to heavily promote the existence of groups to all of our members, fostering strong participation and hopefully giving you exactly the community experience you are looking for on our site.

    In the meantime, we appreciate your understanding. We’re committed to making MyFitnessPal a place where all members can communicate openly in a supportive, and positive environment that helps them to achieve their weight-loss and fitness goals.

    If you would like to review the forum guidelines, please visit the following link:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/14923-forum-rules-please-read-before-posting

    At our discretion, this locked thread may be deleted entirely in the near future.

    With respect,
    Steven
