Snogged: An Insatiable State of Mind

I have to bring in something for potluck on Thursday and I've got no clue what to bring in.
Usually, I would just do a chili cheese dip (cream cheese, chili, and cheddar cheese) along with some tortilla chips, but I'm not going to have an oven and I don't really want the hassle of trying to squeeze in a time slot with the work microwave.

So I'm looking for your tried and true recipes for work parties. Preferably, I'd rather do a dip over a dessert or pasta salad (because I really don't like pasta salad), but I'm open to anything.

A friend of mine gifted me with two lovely summer squashes from her garden and I was curious if any of my flist had recipes they could share with me as I'm hopeless when it comes to cooking experimentally, but I can follow a recipe all right.

After "What's My Line Part II" in Season 2 of Buffy, we see Spike in a wheelchair because the church organ fell on top of him.

I'm asking because it has relevance to my whichwillow fic that is set during "I Only Have Eyes For You

My muse seems to be rejecting the request I was given for the Spike/Dawn ficathon I signed up for.

The request was this:
I enjoy friendshippy Spike/Dawn, particularly post-Buffy's death, with hints of romance. I also like alternate futures that are a bit darker, where Spike and Dawn have an angsty relationship. I like them both to have lots of baggage! But I don't like Dawn to have become too hard – she should still be, you know, Dawn, not some ho-bag.

It needs to be written by the end of Februrary and my brain is blocked for some reason. If any of you can think of some "alternative futures" or any suggestions at all for how I can accomplish this, I would sincerely appreciate it.
