Soooooo, even though this particular event happened at Christmastime I still think it is worth blogging about.
Admittedly I don't like to spend a lot of time and effort when it comes to making dinner. Although when I have to take a dish somewhere I do really try. Alas, my success is limited, but I can do a few complicated dishes with fairly positive feedback. I was pretty busy the day of our ward party, and didn't know I was supposed to bring a side dish until an hour before we needed to go. So I pulled out a box of Betty Crocker Au Gratin Potatoes, added the butter and water, and threw the thing in the oven. Then I proceeded to forget about the whole thing, and burned it a tiny bit. Time was of the essence so I took my burned, from a box potatoes to the party, and set the dish down as quickly as I could so no one could match the dish to me.
When we went through the serving line, I noticed that there was one dish of potatoes completely gone, yep my burned Betty's were now resting in tummies of ward members. How did this happen? I am never going to spend any time on food again. Everyone is getting box mixes. It's what the people want.

Go Betty! That's a funny one ... I am firmly in the "whatever works" camp so yay for that!
You can't argue with the people! Well, you can, but it is ill advised.
Good to know I was not the only one who used a box! If it's good enough for my family's Sunday Dinner, it's good enough for the Ward Family!
Too funny.... I'm always surprised on what is a hit at ward parties!
Or maybe the rest of the sisters, assuming the husbands did not make side dishes, are all even more cullinarily challenged than you claim to be. I have seen dishes at ward potlucks that, well lets just say did not appear to be fit for human consumption. I think the term potluck must have been invented by Mormons, because most of the time if you get anything decent to eat at a ward potluck you are indeed very lucky.
