Our annual Thanksgiving potluck at work is tomorrow. I usually try to do
something that no one else would bother doing, but it was just beyond me
right now.

I woumd up making a fresh corn and green chili mixture with a cream cheese
and butter sauce, seasoned with salt, black pepper, and a generous handful
of chopped cilantro.

<snip>

Well, that doesn't look too shabby to me. If this is an off year for you
I'd like to see what you cook up when you feel better.

I'm guessing you won't have any leftovers to contend with.

Regards,
Dave W.

We have around 80 participants in this pot luck, so there will be a lot of
food. The company suppies baked hams and roasted turkeys, employees
brining the sides.

That sounds terrific to me. I'd choose your corn offering first. I love
veggie dishes.

Janet, have you ever had black bean salsa? The kind I had came from
Tastefully Simple, in a gift basket. It had lots of corn, black beans, very
fresh tasting tomatoes, and just enough heat. With seseme blue corn chips,
it was great. I had a hard time putting it down!

Actually, I was going to make my first batch this week. Costco hasn't
carried kidney beans here for some time (much to my disgust) but have
substituted black beans. So, off I went to Costco with plans of buying
black beans. There were none in the store!!! I guess with all the holiday
stuff in the store now they had to get space from some where. As soon as I
get to a regular grocery store, I'll get the black beans and make some. I
must say, it sounds delish. The recipe I was going to make was from Fine
Cooking? (I had to return the magazines as the subscriber was using a recipe
in there for a Thanksgiving dessert) As soon as I can I'll get the recipe
back. I love savory salsa and don't care at all for the sweet ones. How
about you? Do you prefer one over the other?

The magazine does have many of their recipes up on their website. You
might take a look there and then you'd have your own copy to try and
keep.

Wayne, that sounds like a delish dish. You may want to consider this
sometime for a dinner at home.

Fresh corn , cut off cob
saute in a little butter, add
chopped green onion, crisp cooked bacon pieces, and cilantro.
It is very go and an easy fast side dish.

I experienced this as a cracker spread at a meeting this week. I was
delicious and something that people clustered around.

It would if that were what it said. ("Simple", not "slow".)

To my way of thinking crockpots were invented for potlucks...meatballs in
sauce, apple crisps, bread puddings,chicken wings in a sauce are just a few
of the crockpot dishes that go well at a potluck.

Thanks, Dave. Actually, I had taken this dish to the same potluck several
years ago, and each year after someone always managed to asked if I was
bringing it again. It guess it was a good choice. My 4-quart slow cooker
was filled to the brim, and there wasn't a corn kernal left. :-)

It is pretty tasty, Janet, in spite of few ingredients and the simplest
process of putting it together. I figure you can hardly go wrong with
corn. Most people like it.

Hmmm... Interesting twist on the same ingredients. I'll have to remember
that. Thanks, Gloria.
