  • 8 Fun Office Potluck Themes LEWIS ROBINSON May 4, 2021
    8 Fun Office Potluck Themes LEWIS ROBINSON May 4, 2021 Potlucks are a popular way for coworkers to enjoy some tasty food and fellowship. However, the same old potato salad and hamburgers can get boring after a while. Spice up your next office potluck with one of these fun themes. 1. Desserts and Appetizers Desserts and appetizers are usually big hits at most potlucks, so why not cut out the unnecessary filler and get right to the good stuff? You can choose a specific cuisine, such as Mexican, Italian or American, or let everyone bring a variety of different foods. A mix of more adventurous options, such as ceviche and traditional staples, such as 7-layer dip will ensure there is something for everyone. 2. Ballpark Theme If your office is full of sports lovers, try out a ballpark theme. Ballpark staples include hot dogs, nachos, caramel corn and cotton candy. If you're having your potluck after working hours, be sure to provide a few frosty adult beverages. Ballparks are serving all kinds of extravagant foods these days, so if you want to venture beyond the standard fare, encourage people to recreate their own versions of some of the most extreme ballpark foods. 3. Childhood Favorites This theme provides you with a chance to enjoy some good home cooking and get to know more about your coworkers. This can be a particularly fun theme if you work in a diverse office with people who have come from different food traditions. Simply ask everyone to recreate one of their childhood favorite foods and bring it.

  • PERFECT RECIPES for HAVING PEOPLE OVER Sharing a Meal the Greater End of Table Fellowship Was Brought Home to Me Forcefully a Few Years Back
    Perfect Recipes PERFECT RECIPES F 0 R HAVING PEOPLE OVER PAM ANDERSON PHOTOGRAPHS BY RITA MAAS HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY Boston New York CONTENTS Acknowledgments ix Introduction x T H E B I G STUFF A L L T H E Main Courses REST 2 Kitchen Gatherings Appetizers and 54 Outdoor Affairs First Courses 114 70 In the Dining Room First-Course Soups 154 95 Breakfasts for Company Salads 165 Side Dishes 194 Breads 223 Really Simple Desserts 233 Drinks 281 Index 294 INTRODUCTION hen I first started cooking, back in the late 1970s, entertaining was a production. I starched and ironed the tablecloth and napkins, polished each glass, and set the table at least a day before the big event. I slavishly followed menus, trekking from store to store to find the exact ingredients. No recipe was too long, no meal too elaborate. In fact, I thrived on multistep dishes that required days of attention and care: puff pastry, layered pates and vegetable terrines, miniature sweet and savory tarts. I still love to have friends over, but something happened along the way. First one daughter was born, then a second. Part-time work evolved into a full-time job. Casual hobbies became passionate avocations. With all these activities fighting for my time, I had to change the way I cooked. My menus are simple and flexible now, and my parties mostly spur-of-the- moment. I love potlucks and shared suppers, and kids are always welcome. The food's fun, the atmosphere's casual, and family and friends always gravitate to the kitchen.

  • (GCI) Was Founded by Les Dames D'escof
    Some Great Ideas for GLOBAL CULINARY INITIATIVE Programs The Global Culinary Initiative (GCI) was founded by Les Dames d’Escoffier International to embrace diversity. Food is the thread that connects all cultures and incorporates lifestyles and traditions. What better way for our 28 chapters to do this than to tap into the global cultures within our own communities? The mission of the GCI is to embrace our global communities through culinary connections that will provide educational programming, training programs and cultural exchange. While the GCI is not mandatory, the initiative thrives best when our chapters are engaged and actively participating. Here is a small sampling of what chapters are doing that may spark program ideas of your own. Some may just require small tweaks to programs you are engaged in already. Please contact the chapter featured if you would like more information about a particular program. Chapter Programs of Culture and Learning A committee is working on showcasing a different ethnic restaurant every other month with plans to Palm Springs have the proprietor of each restaurant give a talk about the cuisine and the region during dinner. We will be introducing the various ethnicities/cultures to the community at large. The first event will Dallas be a tour of an Asian grocery store where we will sample the ingredients and hear the stories that go with them. Following we will explore some of the current food trends. The event will be open to the public. There is an annual ancestral potluck where each Dame brings a dish from her culture and explains San Francisco to the group the significance of the dish, as well as any serving dishes or cooking tools that make the dish special to her heritage.

Keeping foods safe to eat and making the kitchen a safe place to work are keys to good health. Improper food handling can make you ill. Kitchen accidents can cause severe injuries. You can prevent both illness and accidents by following safety principles. Federal, state and local governments all play key roles in helping to keep the food supply safe. Local governments are in charge of sending health inspectors to visit food businesses. These inspectors make sure the businesses are following state health codes. The Big Ideas embedded in this unit are: • Food safety is a global concern that every individual working in food service needs to take seriously.

  • Potluck Moais—Better Eating Made Easy
    Potluck Moais—Better Eating Made Easy Belonging to a group of supportive, like-minded people who share your passion for healthy living might be the single-most powerful thing you can do to change your lifestyle for the better. In one study looking at the impact of marital status, ties with friends and relatives, club membership, and level of volunteerism on how well people aged, those with the most social connections tended to live the longest. The most important thing you can do is build your own Right Tribe, which is to say you should spend time with people who support healthy habits—yours and their own. All of the world's longest-lived people were born into—or consciously chose to associate with—supportive, healthy-minded people. Studies show us that if your close friends are obese, your chance of becoming obese increases by 57 percent. The reverse is also true. If you dine with people who eat healthy food, you're more likely to eat healthy food. What is a Moai? What are the goals? The notion of Moai®—which roughly means “meeting for a Meet some new friends who are interested in eating common purpose”—originated as a means of social, emotional, healthier. and financial support in the longevity hotspot of Okinawa, Learn to make tasty and affordable plant-based foods Japan. Traditionally, moais provide social networks where inspired by the Blue Zones®. members experience the stress-shredding security of knowing that there is always someone there for them.
