I need to bring something to a party.
Spinach dip! It's stirring, not cooking.

Spinach dip you say... it IS the healthy bunch that I'm taking it to.
Wish I could find a way, other than "veggie platter" to bring the neat-o fractal broccoli.

Trudy, since this seems to be my week for giving food advice, buy the following:
• 1 package of Knorr vegetable soup mix
• 1 bag of fresh spinach
• 3 green onions
• 1 package fresh dill
• cumin powder
• 16 oz. sour cream
• 1 round loaf of King's Hawaiian bread
Chop spinach, onions, and dill. Mix in bowl with sour cream and vegetable soup mix. Liberally dust top with cumin powder and mix to taste. Refrigerate for 2+ hours before serving. Hollow out bowl-shaped hole in bread loaf, pour dip in. Serve with chips and pieces of bread removed from loaf.

Best way to eat cauliflower -- steam until very very tender (some would say mooshy), then throw in a food processor with milk/cream/butter/sour cream, and perhaps some garlic or your seasoning of choice, and process until very creamy. With the seasoning, it's virtually indistinguishable from mashed (actually, whipped) potatoes.
And quite tasty.
You could probably eat rocks and woodshavings prepared like that.
I'm just saying, if a person feels the need to take in the nutrients/etc. that might be exclusive to cauliflower, and dislikes any other way to prepare it, turn it into fauxtatoes.

Okay, that is hysterical!

I broke my eyeglass frames by rolling over on them in my sleep. The lenses are fine. I have glued them together.
Also, my wallet is not in my purse (although I am pretty sure it is at home

I am not harshin' on the recipe! It sounds fantastic.

Absolutely not.
The best day would have all of those things happen and then pre-lame Spike show up and make you do naughty things.

"It's what I do."
Trudy, I make a bean dip that goes something like this:
1 can refried beans
1 8-oz (or larger) container sour cream
1 jar salsa
Layer in large serving dish in that order. You can add other layers as you see fit, such as: shredded cheese; chopped onions; possibly some jalapenos; whatever.
But those basic 3 ingredients seems to make most partygoers happy.
Serve with tortilla chips, preferably the scoop kind. Will keep well in the fridge before a party.
Also makes a good meal.

Matt's version is probably better, but I just follow the recipe on the back of the Knorr vegetable soup box. My only trick is thawing the spinach in a sieve, so that it's drier. I usually serve it with veggies, including the ubiquitous mini-carrots.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've gotten raves off the Knorr's spinach dip, even without the fancy Matt ingredients. I think putting anything into a bread bowl makes it fancy.
For my office party, I think I'm going to bring this thing my mom makes with layered cream cheese (or neufchatel), pesto, sundried tomatoes, maybe tapenade? and crackers. It's delish and easy. More expensive than other options, probably.
