Cheese please
Yesterday was our 75th anniversary. We had a nice little reception downstairs where they served wine from actual bottles and there were guys in starchy white aprons walking around offering me canapés. Now, I have long held that a party isn't a party without a nifty cheese tray. It's kind of a really lame running gag that I have. If I am asked to attend a work-related function (group meeting, board meeting, committee meeting, meeting meeting....we have a lot of meetings), I usually ask "Will there be a cheese tray?". Well, it seems to have paid off. The Powers of Be heard my pleas and delivered in spades. The cheese tray provided for yesterday's festivities took up two tables. Gouda, havarti, blue, brie, chevre... huge bricks of wonderful, yummy, savoury cheese! Unfortunately, I think I may have overindulged, and could possibly have adversely affected the results of this morning's cholesterol test.
Currently reading: Eats, shoots and leaves
I can forgive the author for her lack of a serial comma in the title, because she shares my chagrin for misplaced apostrophes.

I'll have to try that line :-) Although I just realized most of my meetings are actually conference calls with external partners... "Sure - I can do a conf call at that time. But will there be a cheese tray?" doesn't really carry quite the same punch and I suspect there'd be many requests from our happy partners to have me... um... reallocated away from their projects ;-)
Congrats on the 75th anniversary - very cool!
