Eggnog

Conventional wisdom says that a holiday office party isn’t really a party until someone drops trou and photocopies his nether regions. Turns out, conventional wisdom is full of shit yet again.

Back when I could still afford cable, I became obsessed with the Food Network. As I suspect is the case with most fans, not a single of the countless hours I spent plopped down in front of the tube even remotely inspired me to actually cook.
