YUM!

The nicest thing happened today at work. The four doctors in my office made us all lunch! Not bought....MADE. They made lunch for about 50 people, most of it various ethnic dishes (our medical director is from Cuba, two of our docs are African-American and the other, well, he's a white dude from South County). We have homemade jambalaya, pulled chicken and pulled pork, salad, some spicy Cuban meat something or other (it was beef but also olives and raisins...you wouldn't think this would go together, but it did!), some sort of dessert that tastes like cinnamon (I think it may be bread pudding) and a couple of Ethiopian dishes that, on sight I wouldn't touch (cooked cabbage and carrots? No thank you) but after trying it, all I can say is YUM! Each doc stood by their respective dish or dishes and explained what it was and, in some cases, how to eat it. (the Ethiopian bread/chicken dish was a bit confusing, after a demonstration, we finally understood). This is truly one of the coolest things they've ever done (as you can imagine, the docs are often a target of our frustration-usually rightly so. Psychiatrists can be a bit, um, high on themselves at times.) and very much appreciated. Just wish I'd known to wear my fat pants today or at least some pants with stretch. I'm stuffed!!!!
