a big bowl of leaves and sand-
Well, a bowl of leaves and sand might be good for a potluck if it was Autumn-themed and someone else was responsible for bringing a candle to put in it, but otherwise...
Generally potluck food falls into one of the following categories (ask the host or hostess if they don't provide a category suggestion):
Appetizer, Salad, Entree, Side Dish, Dessert, Drinks, Napkins, Utensils
What to bring and how much to make depends on how many people are attending and whether there's a theme or not.
Watergate Salad
Small pack of instant pistachio pudding
about 8 oz can of crushed pineapple
about a cup of mini marshmallows
about 8 oz (or one normal container) of Cool Whip
about 1/4 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or whatever you like
Mix it all together - the juice from the pineapple included. Stick in fridge for a while to let the flavors meld. It's a very old school but yummy thing. Sometimes I add some sour cream in place of some of the cool whip to keep it from being too sweet.
salads.
fruit salad, pasta salad, spinach salad, potato salad, tuna salad, chicken salad.
I don't know what to bring to the potluck dinner. Please bring a guest.
no... "is when" should not be there
You can't spell neighbours?Or, an American (with American spelling but proper grammar) might better say:A 'potluck' is a dinner to which friends or neighbors bring food to share.
Potluck refers to a meal of some type where the attendees bring a random dish. This way, the guests of the meal end up choosing from a variety of entrees.

A potluck is a gathering of people where each person is expected to bring a dish of food to be shared among the group. You are trusting "luck" that the person is a good cook and brought something tasty for the meal!

High Times' Potluck was created in 2002.
it would be generous Other things you can do instead of bringing a food dish would be bringing drinks, plates, silverware, and napkins, or even offering to help set up or clean up. There's more to a potluck than just food :)
The duration of High Times' Potluck is 1.5 hours.
