A Good Night.

So, after shovelling snow all weekend-seriously, I’m not exagerating, take at a look at this picture of our sidewalk from Saturday morning…just before it started snowing again..

(And yes, I have a snowblower too, but when the snowdrifts are bigger than the machine, a shovel is needed as well. LOL )
Anyway, after shoveling snow all weekend the last thing I wanted to do was go to our staff christmas party on Sunday night. I just wanted to curl up in bed with my new wireless keyboard and start my short story. However, because we in the hospitality industry tend to work during the holidays and serve everyone else having parties, we have our party in later…like the first week of January or so. Despite not being real enthusiastic I went to-and had so much fun!
This was just a casual thing for us. We closed the restaurant and bar at 8pm, and had a pot-luck party. To understand why this was so awesome you have to understand that the place I work at is a true melting pot of cultures. What was there for meals you ask…let me tell you.
All homemade:
Meatballs
Mac and cheese
Butter chicken & nan bread
Spring rolls
Curry Chicken & Roti
Ratatouille
Devilled Eggs
Chips and Hummas
Cheese and Bacon Dip
Crab Dip
French Bread
That was dinner.
Desserts..OH MY LORD!
Cheesecake
Mango Crepes
S’mores
Pumpkin pie.
*grin*
And after eating we played pool, drank, sang and dance. It was all very casual because we chose to do it this way instead of going somewhere or having it catered, and this was great. It was time for us all to be out of uniform, and together and chat. It didn’t matter if you were cook, dishwasher, bartender or manager, we were all just out to have fun. It worked. And I have to say one of the other bartenders, Rhonda, and I made a very good pool team. We kicked ass. *grin*
Despite not getting my story done, it was good night, and even the weekend wasn’t that bad, it just went to fast. Then again, doesn’t every weekend? 🙄
