Friday was a busy day for me, hence no Friday journal entry. Leslie, a girl I work with, and I decided to fix breakfast for our work group which consists of 16 people. Not an easy task!
First some background. We have this "excitement committee" thing going at work that works like this: a couple of people, on a rotating basis, plans and presents some excitement. It sounds a bit cheesy but actually is fun, and breaks up an otherwise boring work day. Everybody contributes $2-5 a month which is our operating budget.
So Leslie and I are January's excitement committee, otherwised known as JEC.(of course the first letter changes with each month). January is a crappy time to be on the excitement committee, and it has been my unfortunate luck to be drawn for January the last two years. It's after the holidays and everybody is sick of celebrating. Most of us just want to lay low and slowly recover. Not only that, but I was sick the first two weeks of January and could have cared less about exciting anything or anyone! Anyway, enough complaining. We (or should I say I?) finally recovered enough to get my act together and now it was time to give these people a return on their meager investment. Now-back to the breakfast!
I got up at 5:30am and fried 2 pounds of bacon, 2 packages of maple flavored sausage links, scrambled 18 eggs and toasted 24 english muffin halves. I've never cooked so much food at one time in my life! I loaded it all up in a big crockpot, and put the muffins into a covered bowl.
Leslie brought mini-blueberry and orange cranberry muffins, fresh fruit, orange juice and coffee.
It turned out great and everyone loved it. Next week we plan on having a big trivia quiz with prizes for the most answered correctly.
I'll be glad when January is over! <<smile>>

OMG breakfast sounds soooo good. It would be nice to have something like that where I work. But, alas, it is not to be. Move over and make room for one more. :-)
WOW- Reading this entry made me hungry. I'm off to kitchen for a quick snack. Thanks a lot. I was doing great till I read what you cooked. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
Man! That's what I wanted for dinner, but they made me make spagetti!
Sounds like you work in a nice place, with nice people. Maybe I should start and excitement committee! What do you think the tow truck drivers would do for excitement? Breakfast? LOL! One could only imagine!
