My work holiday party was actually a lot of fun... well, I still don't know most of the office, and none of my direct coworkers were actually there, but the gift exchange... Let's just say there's a certain amount of satisfaction reaped when you steal a gift from a tenured-professor, and when the gift is actually Bacardi Limon with two fluted cocktail glasses... too bad the gift was stolen from me (damn you webmaster guy!) :)

My spinach salad was a total hit! I should definitely stop giving away the recipe and keep it for my catering business.
