Every year, we have a Christmas pot luck in our newsroom. It is inevitably a chance to get stuffed with too many salty appetizer-like entrees and overly-sweet sweets at the ridiculously early dinner hour of 5 p.m., but it’s always fun, and I look forward to it every year.
A bigger challenge is determining what to bring. I usually don’t want to add another sweet to the already heavy dessert table, but this year I just didn’t have much inspiration in the savory dept. (Having to keep my contribution at the office all day also played into the decision.)
