AND LOSING
For participants in Watermelon’s Potluck Challenge, the
point isn’t to win; it’s to not lose. In this column, our
canna-cooking diva explains how that sentiment has also
influenced other moments in her life, from sixth-grade
track and field tryouts to her gingersnap cookie trials.
i
am so obsessed with food I formed a victual
society. It’s called Potluck Challenge. We meet
every couple of months in my home, and about
twenty challengers gather each time. There
is not usually marijuana in the food,
but most attendees love to imbibe
before, during, and after dinner.
We ask challengers to bring
approximately twenty
mouthfuls of their dish—just
enough for everyone to try
a sample but not eat it as a
meal. When they arrive, a butler takes their dish,
gives it a number, and writes out the ingredients
list so each contribution remains anonymous. We
want to vote on the dish, not its maker. It is not a
perfect system, but we try our best to keep who
made what a secret.
We also suggest tipping the butler because they
end up doing most of the work. The butler is simply a
volunteer who serves and cleans up for dinner and tips.
The loser is supposed to do the dishes, but one cannot
trust them to do a good job.
“You can’t be brave if you’ve only ever
had wonderful things happen to you.”
- Mary Tyler Moore
