Potluck Dinner

"A potluck dinner (Australia: bring-a-plate) is a gathering of people where each participant is expected to bring a dish of food to be shared among everyone in the group. These gatherings are often organized by churches, mosques and other community groups since they simplify the meal planning and distribute the costs among the participants. Smaller, more informal get-togethers may also occur in the form of potlucks.
The only traditional rule for dishes is that they be large enough to be shared among a good portion (but not necessarily all) of the anticipated guests. In the United States, casseroles are popular, often as Italian or Hispanic style dishes.
Such events can also go by the name "Jacob's join", in which each participant brings along as much food as he or she is likely to want to eat, but puts it into a common stock for the communal meal. "

Vart forste au pair mote var en potluck dinner (narmere forklart ovenfor), der vi kunne mote vare fellow au pairs og dele vare kulturer. (Jeg lagde snurreboller og vafler by the way, og det lille som var igjen som jeg skulle ta med hjem ble jeg robbet for pa veg ut...- Populart med andre ord!)
Da jeg oppdaget at mine kjare venner fra Mexico, Ecuador og Polen var der (de jeg var sammen med i New York!), fikk jeg helt klump i halsen og folte meg plutselig veldig hjemme. Det var samme klumpen jeg fikk nar jeg saa at de hadde norske matvarer i sjomannskirken...
Vi hadde absolutt mye a snakke om, og timeplanen er na booket i ukevis framover ;)
