Happy almost Thanksgiving! Today ESOL had their annual Thanksgiving potluck luncheon. It was great seeing (almost) everyone back at the base office enjoying each other's company and good food. The secretaries made the turkey (I think by slow cooker) and there were 2 big trays of turkey which was tender and juicy. Everyone made something (or contributed money for the turkey and ham) and there was so much food my camera couldn't capture it all.

| My plate of food |
As much as I try to grab only tiny bits of each food as to sample the whole smorgasbord, my plate almost ripped apart (you can see the tiny tear on the bottom right edge of the plate). I have to give kudos to co-worker Sharon's noodles, Cynthia's sushi (she lived in Japan for a few years and can make a mean sushi roll), and someone's corn-cornbread. Cornbread with corn! How genius.

| Desserts had their own table |
I made pumpkin chocolate-chip bread, located at the far middle back of the table. Originally I wanted to make them in muffin form, but couldn't just make 6 or 9 huge muffins (how could one share?) and I couldn't find a mini-muffin pan, so I just made a loaf. Libby also wanted to take a picture of the loaf since she uses that term indispensably.
After this huge luncheon, I had the rare opportunity to chat with some people that I hardly get to see. And of course, no one wanted to work after that (serious food coma) so it was all good.
