{a lunch to envy}
Every month at Geva we all gather in the kitchen and library for an office potluck. Clearly, theatre people don’t mess around when it comes to good food or great conversation. In the past several months we’ve done a soup bar, Mexican potluck, autumn themed, comfort food, and several others. For December, we decided on everyone’s favorite meal – Breakfast for Lunch!
Talk about a raging success.
We had about 15-18 people participate and it was heavenly! And we all needed naps within ten short minutes of returning to our desks/workstations.
There were homemade crepes with fresh strawberries, chocolate syrup and whipped cream, clementines and raspberries, hard-boiled eggs, crispy bacon, vegetarian omelet cups, bacon and cheese omelet cups, sausage strata, veggie strata, spinach and feta frittata, a goat cheese Quiche, hash brown casserole, home fries, pulpy orange juice, hot tea, fruit salad, strawberry upside down cake, sticky buns, fresh-baked lemon cream cheese bread, orange cherry scones, and vanilla bean scones. Everything was completely excellent and we all got to catch up on some very much-needed girl time and laughter in the midst of a very busy holiday season, personally and theatrically. Amazing food and awesome coworkers…this is a win-win situation if ever I saw one.

We’re already looking forward to our January/New Years potluck, with a great theme…balls. Yup, balls. Every food item contributed must be in the shape of a ball – we’re talking Oreo truffles, meatballs, etc. The world is a ball of possibilities! And a clever little homage to the sweet and shiny silver ball ornaments many people associate with New Year’s. I can’t wait to see what goodies show up for this one!
One thing’s for sure, these potlucks (and these coworkers) are the bomb!
Does your office do a potluck? Do you have any clever theme ideas for our monthly 2014 potlucks?
