Holiday Dinner
25 November 2008 | Jason
Sunday, I wake up at 1:40 and immediately call Sarah. It is our responsibility to supply dinner with drinks, so we head out to Shaw’s to get some. We head down the aisles looking for the drinks. We find the soda aisle and try to decide what everyone would like. I see some large 3 liter bottles that are a dollar a piece. Yay, cheap drinks. Only problem is that all the drinks shouldn’t be be carbonated. We keep looking around for more drinks and find some apple juice and orange juice. Sarah very much wants apple cider instead of apple juice, so we continue searching. It takes us a while, but we eventually some. Ultimately, I think we got about 8 gallons of drinks. A little bit much.
Holiday dinner begins at 5 in the conference room. I visit Caroline to see what she is making for dinner and find her making cheese stuffed croissant things. She is excited because it is her first cooking experience and she is already experimenting. They all quickly cook and we try some. We sample them and they are quite good. At 5, we start bringing the food down to the conference room and set up the room for everyone. Kristina and I carry tables from Porter Room to try to make room. The food all looks delicious.
Mark is elected to cut the turkey and begins to hack away. There is so much food on the table I don’t know where to start. The first thing my fork makes it into is the glazed ham sitting in front of me. Everything was quite delicious. I eat so much that I feel full, and I keep eating. Food is still on my plate before I can’t fit anything else into my stomach. Everyone seems to have finished so Kristina announced the superlatives. I won three: most like a potato, most likely to be asleep in the lounge, and least likely to go skydiving.
When everyone on the floor cooks a dish, there will never be a lack of food to eat. So much food too many times will make you fat.
