The Office Party
I normally intend to write about food that I do not make… but I haven’t had any interesting gastronomic experiences lately so here’s a small summary of last night’s Office Party (with food). Aaron and I decided to host a “Welcome Back to THE OFFICE” party and Aaron was the chef! I normally am the food-maker for parties and Aaron is the dominant dinner-maker, but he exceeded himself by taking on the role of party chef last night. We decided on Office-related foods, so Aaron made a yummy JELLO concoction with strawberries, bananas, and a sour cream layer. We also had a sandwich bar that included BIG TUNA, Aaron made a CHINESE chicken salad, with had “Mexican lemonade” (lemoñadé), and in lieu of ice cream cake we had MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP Baskin Robbins ice cream. I’ve attached a copy of the flier I printed out and posted around the apartment. I also put a print-out of Dwight’s organizational flow chart and put it on the bathroom door (so those waiting would have something to look at). And we placed a note-card on the bathroom mirror so when a guest washed their hands, they would see themselves in the mirror with a note card on their forehead indicating that they’re Jewish. I think we covered at least seven episodes worth of inside jokes. I am kicking myself because I forgot to take pictures of the party, but c’est la vie.
