My first year at my job we had a potluck. My supervisor told me to get stuff before Gloria got there because she would talk over all the food, but I was too late. Gloria as standing over the food as she was talking and I could see tiny food and spit partials flying out her mouth onto the food. I looked at my supervisor and moved his lips with no sound coming out his mouth to say ” I told you. ”
Donald’s Donald didn’t come out to M.O.P. but John Cena’s theme song that starts out with the Ante Up sound. As a wrestling fan and unofficial official Cena hater I had to clear that up.
At my last in office job, I was a one woman morale department. I would organize potlucks. My mom would cook on my behalf. We knew which coworker not to ask to contribute. One coworker was known to be a cat lady and we definitely avoided her shit.
Being apart of a small team at work means it’s easier to vet who can bring to the potluck. Honestly, we are so food-motivated, that could be on my manager’s list of hiring questions at this point “what would you bring to the potluck?” No one on my team makes a bad food, and for that I am thankful. At our Halloween get together, Everyone bought their lunch from wherever they wanted and brought in desserts and snacks to share. My bundt cake was a hit, and I cannot recommend this recipe enough! https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a42943517/chocolate-bundt-cake-recipe/
You know it was Byron Donalds that I had in mind during last weeks Coon joke. Take his black card and give it to Akwafina (I like her, okay give it Shaun King, where’s he at, in Palestine?).
I second Rods point about Puerto Ricans that had been fucking with the GOP until MSG Nazi Rally. It’s a bit sus to me that this was the final straw, Marc Antony ad for Madam VP was full of sins against that community by Orange and yet I still knew Puerto Ricans who were talking that ” he’s just a business man” bs. Anyway, I hope that the anger translates into voting Blue.
On the potluck question: In the early 2000’s I had my first job that did the potluck instead of just restaurants/catered food. I was one of a couple Blacks in the department. I signed up for the green bean casserole, a dish I had never actually had before because my family never made that, because that was one of the last options available to sign up for. I learned how to make it off the back of the French’s onion can. I am a pretty decent cook, so it came out ok and the dish was a hit. I ate some of the coworkers’ food. In later times, working in a department with more melanated people, we developed a method for sharing with each other the food to steer clear of based on observance of the cooks (such as, which people didn’t wash their hands in the bathroom, other general hygiene issues, etc.). Thankfully, schools started transitioning to only allowing purchased goods for classroom parties, and that worked it’s way more and more into the office. I’m old enough to have bobbed for apples at school carnivals, something that sounds super crazy to me now (and something I’d never let my kids do), so my views on community grossness have evolved over the years. I ain’t eating that rancid artichoke and orange dip! The other messed up thing, though, would be when the office had a commercial cake, but the server was one of those people that licked their finger when cutting slices and touching them to put them on plates…no thanks, I gave that up for lent…..until next year!
Byran Donalds is a first generation immigrant. His mother is from Panama and his father is from Jamaica.
Donalds has no real connection to Black America. And truth be told, with him being a first generation immigrant he probably hates Black Americans and thinks he is better than us like some Black immigrants believe.
Unfortunately for him, the Nazi he will meet on the street will not ask all this questions about his family tree, he will be seen as a non white person, the end.
Never had a company potluck (not something usually done in Japan), but I have made stuff for parties… I once made a 3kg (about 7lb) three layer cheesecake with fresh fruit filling between the layers and a hard chocolate coating… It was dense (Wisconsin cheesecakes go hard, not like that fluffy NY stuff that they call cheesecakes…) so it was hard to eat more than a sliver because it was so filling. I took none of it home.
But my go-to is guacamole. My guacamole is always fresh, always flavored (gotta be generous with the cumin, coriander, and chili), and always finished no matter how much I bring.
I might tell people to grab some before it’s gone, but I never have to push it.
Odly fitting to the baby stuff and other topics:

It s a classical cover of a German satrie magazine and says:
Terrible suspicion, was Hitler antisemitic?
Oh no!
We have other great things America can export from Germany, cars, health care, free education. The Nazi stuff isn’t the stuff to export. I’m telling you!
