The Omnivorous Fish

The Christmas Party is next week. We’re having it early this year due to many scheduling conflicts in the past, and as a result, it has jumped up out of nowhere.

I am working two gigs this week, so the Agent and I sat down and divvied up what needed to be done. Since all of our good Xmas Music is on record, I did a little iTunes shopping for some holiday classics, and last night we went to Fairway and bought them out of torrone.
For those of you who don’t know me, it may come as a surprise that the menu for the Christmas party has changed exactly once in nine years. It’s the one party I give that’s less about the food and more about socializing, so I want to spend less time in the kitchen. This, of course, means crowd pleasers, like baked ziti and ham. (The one change was from bratwursts to ham, due to the inability to get decent bratwursts at a reasonable price.) Potato salad (with the martini olives from a jar), cheese and crackers, a green salad and Christmas cookies. That about does it.

Ok, off to work. Got to pay for that torrone.
