A Holiday [food] hangover thread

(I’m sort of channelling my inner Beckdawreck here, whose style I genuinely admire)

Oh hearken ye to thine company Holiday party . . .

Where the company is pleasant (hopefully for ya) and the food is plentiful. It helps the forrmer where I really like the crew I work with, but it doesn’t help the latter where I really really really enjoy New Mexico’s red chile.

What ho the chicken enchiladas, mulled apple cider, warm menudo, and --gasp-- oh my Lord are those fresh biscochItos?!?!

Up waaay past my bedtime, getting home sooper-late, from a shindig where the food was filling and the company fun, now my head hurts and body aches from all the carbs and belly-warming chile. I rarely sleep in past 10:AM . . . today’s that day.

I’ve been ‘work at home’ status since the pandemic. I both miss, and am glad to avoid the temptation of, holiday parties and goodies. In several places I’ve worked at over the years, for the entire month of December, companies that my company did biz with would send all manner of goodies that would be left out for all to enjoy. I remember one company in particular, when I was single and often would work late, I’d make a dinner out of the sweet and savory edible gifts.

I freakin’ love tamales. At one place I worked, a young woman brought in and sold tamales and salsa her grandmother made. Incredible.
