Lutheran Sunday Supper Things

I always have great fun at a church potluck. Lutheran church ladies make the best hot dishes. The various dishes are so nuch fun to look at and taste. What with the variety of spices, how much beef, or chicken, tomatoes, and onions. Everyone brings such great hotdishes, salads, and a potpourri of whatever. You will see 3 or 4 ramen Asian salads, some with sunflower seeds, cabbage, and other greens. There are some with lots of ramen noodles.

There are several different noodle dishes featuring tomatoes, beef, and some seasoning. Some jello dishes are on the table. We have a lovely raspberry jello surprise and then the lime jello marshmallow cottage cheese surprise. Beans are in various dishes and all of them are good tasting. There were several three bean salads. Some are bean salads with corn, peppers, and at least three different beans. Black beans, red beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans are all featured at the church dinner. Bean and beef crock pot dishes in a variety of combinations make their appearance and are quite tasty. There is fried chicken, cocktail wieners, and meatballs.

For drinks, we have church coffee a combination of half decaf and half regular coffee. Water and Countrytime powdered lemonade for the non-coffee drinkers. But the best part fo the dinner are the people and the conversations. It is a unique social gathering and should be done once a month.
