It's called the "I enjoy eating and baking and hence others expect me to bring baked goods" syndrome. I organise our social lunches and the cake thing, so everyone expects me to bake. Which I don't mind as I've really enjoyed making all these new things and challenging myself. They all chip in money so I'm not out of pocket.<BR/><BR/>I will read your culinary competition soon.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-3957323009642342592008-07-23T08:59:00.000+10:002008-07-23T08:59:00.000+10:00Ah, what a complicated hierarchy of Arnott's colle...Ah, what a complicated hierarchy of Arnott's collections. :-D <BR/><BR/>Our seminars run once every couple of weeks - it started with a volunteer list of people bringing food but it is frequently now down to me, as the co-ordinator, to bring the snacks.<BR/><BR/>I blogged <A HREF="http://herestheveg.blogspot.com/2006/09/september-25-2006-culinary-competition.html" REL="nofollow">the culinary competition in September 2006</A>, but was out of town for the 2007 one. I was mighty disappointed. :-(Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-89801812534921225712008-07-22T21:18:00.000+10:002008-07-22T21:18:00.000+10:00Cindy, I've read about your office of food obsessi...Cindy, I've read about your office of food obsessives. It's so good that others bake as well so you get to try out all these great home made stuff. How often are you seminars though? Are we talking every couple of weeks or more every few months.<BR/><BR/>An annual cooking competition? Why haven't you blogged about it. I don't remember reading about it and I think I've been reading your blog for more than a year for sure.<BR/><BR/>My office is full of food obsessives too. Only none of them bake and its up to me each week to think of something new and fresh to make.<BR/><BR/>At least you get Assorted Creams. We had that for a few months, but now its back to the boring Family Assorted, not even the Classic Assorted. I really like the Kingston too, that would be one of my first choices.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-85065181508095229682008-07-22T14:09:00.000+10:002008-07-22T14:09:00.000+10:00I work in a office of food obsessives.

Occasionally there are food drops of leftovers when the boss is entertaining important guests, but more often there are high-quality birthday cakes and snacks when we meet for seminars. (There are a few good cooks who additionally bring in samples of their latest creations and there's also an annual cooking competition!)<BR/><BR/>Of course there's the eternal jar of Arnott's assorted creams too - I don't mind a Scotch finger either but it's the Kingstons that disappear the fastest here. :-)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-35837633706225795142008-07-18T00:11:00.000+10:002008-07-18T00:11:00.000+10:00Well Dani, whatever job your partner has, it sound...Well Dani, whatever job your partner has, it sounds like a good deal getting a catered lunch every week. I'd settle for just chocolates. Instead I have to buy my own and keep a stash in my desk drawers.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-15189629233873965622008-07-17T18:45:00.000+10:002008-07-17T18:45:00.000+10:00nope not a lawyer!

Are there good fruits, or just the regular apples and oranges. If they delivered stuff like strawberries, peaches, cherries, custard apple, mangosteen etc, I would be fighting you for it. :-)thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-55896177671077907272008-07-16T19:15:00.000+10:002008-07-16T19:15:00.000+10:00once a month, we get fruit boxes delivered.

Our patent lawyer (who works one day a week at our office) says that his firm has a fully catered lunch (4-5 courses with waiters and lots of cutlery) once a week. There are no lollies, chocolate or fruit to speak of at our work place. Biscuits are all we got.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-91242223845669744492008-07-16T16:06:00.000+10:002008-07-16T16:06:00.000+10:00Nothing going at my work but my Bread Winner's wor...Nothing going at my work but my Bread Winner's work puts on a two course lunch every Friday and has a well stocked kitchen at all other times. Not to mention an even mix of free lollies/chocolate and a full fruit bowl. I love not having to bother making his lunch on Thursday nights.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611826061959537166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-71911520851048850912008-07-16T13:39:00.000+10:002008-07-16T13:39:00.000+10:00But you're alway saying how you want free food.
