If your DHs work was having a pot luck...

HisBetterHalf

during work hours, would you bake something for it or make him do it? 

I am not invited.  Its just a small thing but everyone is encouraged to bring something.   Last night he asked ME to make something for it.  I told him he could do it.  LOL  He said he will but needs a suggestion or recipe.  I'm having a hard time coming up with an idea because it can't be something that has to be refridgorated or served hot.

I would have to do it because his culinary skills are rather limited.  OR he would stop off somewhere and pick up something to take.

DH always asks me to make something for him.  If I said no he would do it himself, but I don't mind so I do it.  I try to always make his lunch for him too so it's not any different really.

And I just realized you said it can't be cold or hot...LOL that's hard!  You could do a dessert or finger food like little croissant sandwiches.

I always make DH's food for his work pot lucks and such.  Then again, DH doesn't cook or bake at all if he can help it.  I have to plan all meals (including breakfast and lunch) ahead of time if I'm going to be working. 

No ideas on what to bring.  Maybe a cheeseball and crackers brought in a cooler to keep it cool until lunch?  I do cheeseballs for everything.  Quick and easy and everyone always raves about them.  Other things DH has brough it have been cookies/brownies, kielbasa, not sure what else.  Good luck!

I always bake something for him to take or make a dip. I love to bake though. If I were to make him make it himself I'd get frustrated with his million questions on how to do it so I prefer to just do it myself. But like I said, I enjoy it.

Want my veggie pizza recipe?  It's served cold but can be out of the fridge for a little while, I usually have it out at parties...it usually doesn't last long enough to have to go in the fridge...it has cream cheese.

Have him pick up something.. Chips, drinks, etc...

He does it because he always forgets to tell me. He makes bar cookies in the morning of the party.

With those restrictions I would tell him to just order a few pizzas and make that his contribution. Or he could get a sandwich tray from a local deli.

So really I wouldn't make anything, I'd have him buy something, lol.

I always do it for DH.  That's tough one though because when my DH needs something, they can take crock pots in and plug them in.  I'm nt sure about a recipe.  The only time I tell him to do it himself is if he waits till the night before.  Otherwise, I stay home, so I dno't mind doing it for him.

I wouldn't mind making something, but if your DH is willing to make something himself, why not help him out.

I would get frozen cooked shrimp and cocktail sauce. Take the shrimp in  a cooler and let them thaw out before the party.

I would make something for him.  He is actually a really good cook, but not for pot luck type stuff.  What about something that you could put in a cooler so it could be kept cold.  Cheese ball or cheese and crackers??  Candy? Cookies?

Could you put something in a crock pot?  Kielbasa and sour kraut always goes over well at my dad's work.

I usually make it because i enjoy cooking.

I would do a cold dip or something like that. Just bring the dip in a cooler. Does he have an ice machine at work? We have a water and ice machine in our building, so whenver somehting needs to stay cold, we fill a bowl with ice and put it on that.
