Much like last year, my cluster at work had a potluck to celebrate the holidays. It was a fun, inexpensive way to get everyone together and mark another year survived at our firm 😉
Per what is now I guess tradition, Mama BB brought in Popeye’s fried chicken, half spicy, half regular. Mmm that was good. I accidentally took a piece of spicy but yowsa… yum!
Another what is now tradition: Mama LC’s pernil. Damn, if last year was good, this year was even BETTER. I didn’t think it was possible, but super succulent and tender and just wonderful. Mmm.
Trying to be a lil bit healthy, I made roasted broccoli with garlic cloves. Yummm, I love this stuff, I swear I make this 2-3x a week for myself – bento and dinner and whatever, I just shove the leftovers in the fridge and have it already made to grab some when I want dinner or to pack a bento. It’s awesome.
Can’t have pernil without arroz con gandules of course! Yumm!
Cookie tray
Brownies
Chocolate covered strawberries
And my (first) plate. Yup, I had seconds, hahaha. And if you look closely, you can see my chicken scratch, the notebook I used for History last semester – filled with notes, definitions, annotations… everything. Well, that’s how I got a 99 on my final and an A in the class, beeyotches!!! 🙂
Yet another wonderful holiday potluck with my coworkers. I’ll miss them greatly.
Happy eating!!!
