I decided to say fuck it.

We needed a little get together. If for nothing else allowing me to realize how incredibly bad other people's palates are.

We are all vaxed and we get the corporate privilege.

Now watch what some numbnut brought be loaded with teh COVID and we all get sick with a breakthrough variant.

Good news finally!
I start my new position as an HR generalist on Monday. The company seems to care and has nice benefits. Thanks for the well wishes.
Nice!

Congrats, bro. Your hard work paid off.

Second wave of the potluck was today.

Lookit, I am not trying to be an asshole, okay?

But what people are proud of in terms of their cooking is sad.

Today, the guy was bringing his wife's ziti and meatballs.

The meatballs were turkey. The sauce was odd tasting. Turns out grape jelly was involved.

It was like cocktail meatballs intermixed with Ragu.

GTFO

Whatever happened to casserole followed by fingerbanging a coworker in the supply closet?

I don't understand the concept of using grape jelly as some sort of ingredient in Barbeque sauce.

People like to get cute and make things their own.

The wife and I were really good friends with a couple who’s parents would invite us over for spaghetti night quite often.

The spaghetti would have been great, but the woman added cinnamon to her sauce and pointed it out fucking always like she had reinvented spaghetti. It was awful and we lied about loving it. I was so happy when they moved out of state.

Also, good shit, @shoop . Kick some ass.

Cincinnati is famous for their chili having cinnamon in it. I think some people just took the concept into their spaghetti as well. A hint of it might be all right but a lot of people are clueless when it comes to seasoning.

Fucking disgusting is what it is. When someone has no fucking idea how flavor works, I take it personal.

Cinnamon is frequently used in Greek cooking. Amounts are important. If it's immediately recognizable, it's too much.

Probably a bad idea to bring atypically spiced foods to a potluck.

Funny you should say that.

Yesterday we had a department-wide meeting with the Director and one of his topics of discussion was sexual activity in the workplace. Apparently there have been a couple of occasions where people have been caught banging in conference rooms and such. :lol

I get for the meatball thing mixing it with chili sauce. But spaghetti sauce?

And what is it with people making what should be normal food sweeter?

People overthink cooking sometimes. Sometimes it's better to go with traditional. Sometimes you fuck it up when you try to make it better. Just leave it the fuck alone.

It's a family tradition for me to have Italian every Thanksgiving, traditional Italian, like recipes that have been handed down for over 100 years.

If someone told me they put grape jelly in tomato sauce I'd throw it away immediately and quite possibly leave where ever I'm being fed this.
