Christmas Potluck Luncheon at Work

[Findog]

Is it okay to bring Hot Pockets as hors d'oeuvres and Pop Tarts as a dessert item? I'm going to cut the HP up into tiny bite-size squares and put festive toothpicks on them.

[IronMexican]

They are both fair game as long as you warm them up ahead of time. Nobody wants a cold pop tart. And get the brown sugar ones. It shows some class.

[Findog]

I got 12 Brown Sugar, 12 Strawberry w/o icing and 8 strawberry with icing. I've got this silver to go tray and I'm going to heat the hot pocket bites in the microwave before the luncheon begins. The thing about pop tarts though is that you can eat them cold.

[RealEstateDude]

Lol!!!

That's just trashy. You might come off as white trash if you don't warm em up.

I hate the "forced camaraderie" for potluck luncheons at work, so Hot Pockets and Pop Tarts is my silent protest. I was going to bring Chocolate Angel Food Cake from Central Market, but then I thought "Why should I share something awesome with people I don't like?"

[marini martini]

At least toast the pop tarts beforehand!:toast

[ashbeeigh]

At least bring some napkins to put them on.

[I. Hustle]

Silver tray? Just get a piece of cardboard and cover it in foil. Same shit.


I hate how the people who never bring shit to potlucks always eat the most or the ones that act like they haven't eaten in years and think that the food is going to disappear within 15 seconds.

Then don't go- have an "appointment."

[mrsmaalox]

Then don't go- have an "appointment."

That's what I was thinking. Why make yourself look like a bitch? Just tell them you won't be participating!

[Bigzax]

it's like a potluck for 8 year olds....that said...i would tear that shit up!


fyi, hot pockets with meat of any kind are just sickening.

four cheese are the bomb though!


next time just throw a 20 piece nugget on the table and be done with it...

As you serve them, just blame Obama.

[JudynTX]

:tu Well done sir.

[Bigzax]

your hot-pocket presentation is outstanding!

[JudynTX]

:lol Do you have dipping sauce for those hot pocket appetizers?

[I. Hustle]

Dipping sauce for hot pockets? What is this? San Antonio?! Oh yeah it is, you better get some ranch and ketchup.

[mrsmaalox]

Looks very nice. But waaaay too much effort for people you don't like!

[marini martini]

Looks very nice. But waaaay too much effort for people you don't like!

Not if he didn't wash his hands before preperation!:lol

Surprisingly nice presentation!:toast

[Viva Las Espuelas]

You should've just brought chips. And yeah. Way too much effort put into what you brought, but hey.............................. 'tis the season :toast

[Findog]

I like the group I work with, but I never interact with the larger organization. It's mainly for my immediate coworkers benefit. They thought it was hilarious.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Those hot pockets do look good.

[Findog]

Oh, and I just bought Hidden Valley Ranch at the CVS, so there will be dipping sauce

[bus driver]

does hot pockets look mighty tasty!

you should open a catering service and charge a ridiculous price for them.....i am sure my company would hire you with all the heffers we have.

:lmao

Well played.

[IronMexican]

Gotta give Findawg some credit. Nice work:tu

[DPG21920]

The hot pockets actually look like a normal app. When they are cut up and have that crazy bread, they look like a delicious, well put together dish.

[timvp]

:lmao

One final pic of a co-worker dipping a Hot Pocketito in ranch is needed.

[IronMexican]

:rollin was it already cold? Did anyone not know they were hot pockets and ask what they were?

[Findog]

Coworker A: (White Lady, thick Texas drawl) "Aww can't say that. Whut does that mean?" (trying to read the sign)

Coworker B: (Hispanic lady) "They're Hot Pockets."

_______________________________________

Coworker A: "Hmm...Calientes. Wonder what that is."

Coworker B: (look of befuddlement on her face): "I think those are Hot Pockets."

Coworker A: "Eh, what the hell..." (puts 2 on his plate)

[I. Hustle]

Beautifully played sir. I mean you went above and beyond the call of duty. I am glad you went with the ranch because that was the topper. Well done... well done.

[jack sommerset]

Won't catch me eating anything people made for the office. Lots of disgruntle workers out there wanting payback or funny fuckers that think jacking off in a casserole is cute.

[JudynTX]

:lol :lol So will you now get into the catering business?

BTW....that lasagna looks pretty good. :tu

[Summers]

:lmao Holy crap, I was hoping this was a joke, so I could offer you some really yummy, easy recipes.

[timvp]

:lol Gold.

[easjer]

I thought it was a joke, but the fact you actually did it is pretty fucking awesome. The fact that it looks edible (. . . death pockets!. . .); holy shit. :lol

:lmao I thought you were bullshittin. You are the man for actually doing that.

[SpursWoman]

That is just absolutely fabulous. :rollin :lol :toast

[Whisky Dog]

I gotta give it to you. The Spanish sign to fuck with all the white people was gold. Presentation was gold. Feeding one of the nastiest foods in the grocery store to co workers and them eating it = gold. Only thing missing is the pic of the empty tin with all the crumbs and discarded toothpicks.

[baseline bum]

:lol

Nice work there. I would have thought a giant tin filled with dumped KFC bowls would have been the way you would have gone though.

[Sapphire]

That is the best potluck item of EVER. I get so freaked out just looking at some of the weird shit people bring to those things. I would have piled my plate with the fancy little Spanish things and slathered them in Ranch dressing (I'm white) and it would have been a happy cubicle for the rest of the afternoon.

Strong work. :toast

[ashbeeigh]

That's amazing.

[marini martini]

Thread of the year!!!:toast

it does? it reminds me of a rest area restroom toliet after someone had an explosion in it and didn't flush.

:lol Thanks. I'll never want lasagna again.

He's right Panda. The Hot Pocket hors d'ouvre looked like the best food on that table.
