1. I've got a day to figure out what I'm bringing to my office pot luck

I googled best christmas potluck dishes and got hundreds of things that looked like crap.

Maybe I should google when I'm hungry.

for some reason work is blocking the article at delish dot com so I'll have to look when I get home. I'm up for a hilarious dessert. Does it include Sandra Lee's Kwanzaa Cake? bc that would be pretty funny but only one other person in the department would get it (she haaaaaates Sandra Lee lol - well, not really hates the woman but the idea that she had a show that was expected to be taken seriously).

2. You want to blow your friends' minds? This will do it.

I did this three years ago. People are STILL talking about how good it was.

You will need:
Four-quart clear glass bowl (it can't be anything else and you will understand why in a second)
Seven different colors and flavors of Jell-o; the small packages are fine.
A quart of vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt
Various kinds of fresh fruit, but no pineapple, kiwi, mango, papaya or guava - those all have enzymes that stop gelatin from setting up
Whipped cream, if you like

You will do:
Step 1: Arrange your Jell-o packages in an attractive order - try not to put all the orange-colored ones next to each other, for example. Decide which one goes on the bottom.

Step 2: Make the first flavor of Jell-o with hot and cold water and put it in the bowl. Add some fruit that goes with that flavor and put it in the fridge to harden.

Step 3: Make the second flavor with a cup of hot water and, once the dry mix is dissolved into the water, one cup of Greek yogurt. Add fruit and put it on top of the first flavor.

Steps 4 through 8: Alternate "jello made with all water" and "jello with Greek yogurt in it" layers until you run out of Jell-o.

Optional Step 9: Set an aerosol can of whipped cream next to the bowl in case anyone wants it.

3. that sounds awesome!

but it's too late. Got grocery store christmas cookies. Headed upstairs in a few minutes.

Putting this in my pocket for next time I gotta bring something though.

But hey, I might have failed at food bringing but at least I brought a nice Polish vodka and shot glass gift set for the white elephant exchange. SOMEbody is going home happy.

4. you know that first pic of the oversized gingerbread house

seemed fine to me - but then I like gingerbread

I always wonder who the heck has the patience to do that hardcore cookie decorating - I just want to eat the damn things
