00:00Let it be known, this is my petition to bring back covered dish dinners.

00:04When you're going to a church covered dish dinner, you know exactly what to do.

00:09You place your serving utensil of choice, not your nice one, because we're not bringing that.

00:15Because we could potentially get it mixed up with somebody else's.

00:18You know people are going to be showing up with their fancy Pyrexes, probably those vintage ones.

00:22Let me show you.

00:23This is not Pyrex, it's Corningware.

00:25This specific cornflour looking pattern, that will be at a church covered dish dinner guaranteed.

00:32The ladies will be coming in with these insulated carriers or the quilted ones that have the four sides that kind of buckle right here.

00:39This is your time to shine.

00:40The uncovering of the covered dish.

00:43You get oohs and ahs.

00:46Little pro tip, stick your spoon or your serving utensil into your dish.

00:50Make it look like someone has already tried to take a scoop out.

00:53Because nobody wants to be the first person to dig into anything, a cake or a covered dish.

00:58This will encourage people to go ahead, eat it, it will be the first ones to go.

01:01I guarantee.
