Our company has usually had a celebration of some kind at the end of the year... It's usually called 'pig-out' and consists of anyone who wants to, bring something to share and 'pigging out'. It's always fallen on Christmas eve (or the last day of the 'busy season') before Christmas and we could never imbibe until the last order was sent to shipping and logged out.
Well, the last few years, no one has wanted to do it, because w're just too busy ...finishing getting errands done (or some were hosting their own Christmas Eve parties at home, so they were anxious to get out of work as soon as they could!)
Well, this year, someone came up with the idea to have 'Pig-out' right before the busy season starts! This is usually just before labor day, so the sign-up sheet was posted in the lunchroom, ... and what a feast we had.
This was my plate...we had some great food, seafood mousse, chili, home-made Mac & cheese, pasta & fruit salads, pulled chicken sandwiches.... The deadly thing is, we have some GREAT cooks at our company!
Donna was good about letting me snap a shot of her plate, but she wasn't waiting to start eating!
And of course, we can't forget the dessert table... 
Brownies that were soooo delicious, home-made cookies (and some from Sam's), Magic bars, decadent chocolate cake... 
And then, there was the Sand Cake. It's like the dirt cake with gummy worms, but with crushed Pecan Sandies (or you can use sugar cookies) for the sand. Serve it in a pail with a shovel for serving utensil AND on a towel with shells, and it is fun for a summer party!
Can you see how little was leftover? What a great idea! Can't wait until next year.
