I was thinking about what to make for the team potluck next week. The last one was a hit, but I want to try something different this time. Maybe a hearty soup The weather is turning cooler, so a warm dish would be welcome. I have a recipe for a creamy potato and leek soup that's always reliable. Or perhaps a classic chili That's always a crowd-pleaser and easy to make in a large batch. I need to check what ingredients I already have. I know I have plenty of canned tomatoes and a few different types of beans. Ground turkey might be a lighter option than beef. I should send a note to the group to see if anyone has dietary restrictions I should consider. Last time, Sarah mentioned she was avoiding dairy, so if I go with the potato soup, I could use a plant-based milk. Actually, a butternut squash soup could be a good alternative—naturally sweet and creamy without any cream. I could roast the squash first to deepen the flavor. Add a little ginger or sage I'll have to look at my spice cabinet. On the other hand, a big pasta salad is easy to transport and can be served cold. A pesto pasta with sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and grilled chicken That feels more like a summer dish, though. Maybe I'm overthinking this. I'll decide by tomorrow. I need to go to the store anyway for a few things. I should make a list: fresh vegetables, maybe some bread to go with the soup. A crusty baguette would be perfect. I wonder if anyone else is bringing bread. I could also pick up some toppings for the chili—shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions. That always lets people customize their bowl. Okay, chili is sounding better and better. It's simple, filling, and most people like it. I can make it the night before, which is a huge plus. The flavors often improve after sitting overnight. I'll confirm with the team about dietary needs first. I'll send a quick email now. "Hi team, looking forward to the potluck next Thursday. I'm planning to bring a main dish, likely a turkey chili. Please let me know by Monday if you have any allergies or preferences I should accommodate. Thanks!" That should do it. Now, for the recipe. I usually brown the turkey with onions and garlic. Then add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, and the beans. Season with chili powder, cumin, a bit of cocoa powder for depth, and a dash of cinnamon. Let it simmer for at least an hour. I might double the recipe to ensure there's enough. Better to have leftovers than not enough. I should also remember to bring a ladle and some bowls, just in case. The office probably has some, but it's good to be prepared. What else Oh, a note for myself to take it out of the fridge an hour before heating it up so it comes to temperature more evenly. I don't want to cold-spot the slow cooker. Speaking of which, I need to remember to bring my slow cooker to keep it warm. I'll put a reminder on my phone. This is coming together. I hope everyone enjoys it. Cooking for a group is always a bit of a gamble, but chili is usually a safe bet. Maybe I'll make a small side of cornbread too That could be nice. A simple box mix is fine for that. Or I could pick up a pre-made one from the bakery. I'll see how much time I have. Alright, decision made: turkey chili with optional toppings. Now I can stop worrying about it and focus on the rest of my week. I have that report to finish by Wednesday. The potluck will be a nice break. I always enjoy seeing what everyone else brings. Mark usually brings something interesting from his garden. Last fall it was a fantastic roasted beet salad. Lisa often brings a delicious dessert. It's a fun way to connect with the team outside of our usual meetings. It fosters a good atmosphere. Management always supports these events, which is great. They understand the value of team cohesion. Well, back to work. I'll draft that email now and get it sent out.
