That gathering sounds fantastic! My potluck go-to is King Arthur's almond flour brownies. They take one bowl and ten minutes to prep (fifteen minutes if I let the toddlers help) and come out great every time. They're gluten-free with the right baking powder, too - not an issue for my family, but we know an increasing number of people who have to avoid it.
As the token Catholic friend, I answer a lot of off-the-wall questions from Protestants already. Probably the patron saint of Church trivia (today's entry: until the mid-fifties, Hallowe'en was a day of fast and abstinence.)
Thanks for the mention! I'm catching up on Duel right now and fingers crossed I can make it before the last episode drops...
Patron saint of the people who'd prefer to pray to St. Mike rather than St. Michael, since I get asked even to this day whether I prefer Michael or Mike whenever I meet someone new and maybe it works that way sometimes with the archangel as well.
Depends on the context, but of late I like Michael. Mike is usually close family members and friends; Michael is a bit more formal. Work friends, writing, everyone else basically. Michael just has that ring to it, y'know?
That punch!! I'm intrigued. And well done on hosting 50 people!!
It was good! And thank you, it was a good time.

"I'll take "Weird patron saints" for 500, Alex"
"He is the patron saint of unsightly people"
*ding ding*
"Who is St. Drogo?"
I'd like to say I'm bringing some elaborate and delicious dip...but I'm sure I would be picking up chips and salsa on the way.
I would be the patron saint of forgetting things
The Rule by Theresa & Peter Martin- it's such a good one.
"What's the name of that saint you pray to when you forget things? I can't remember."

The struggle is real. Unrelated, which one do you prefer? jk, but seriously.

I dig it.
