Ice Cream Sundae Bar


Via Jessica, Alex, and Laura

What a wonderful Friday afternoon at the office! Sundae bar with three types of ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, Moose Tracks) and M&M, whipped cream, or cherry candy toppings.  The sugar rush is extreme.

Healthy Lunch


Via Traitor Peter

An inappropriately healthy office lunch.  Fruit, veggies, and grains.  Bleh.

Burgers


By David

We were helping a friend move, so I didn't have time to take a proper picture.  Homemade burgers first seared on the frying pan and and then cooked in the oven, similar to a roast.  It may not look it, but it worked out really well!

Ratatouille


By David

Ratatouille, inspired by Smitten Kitchen inspired by the film Ratatouille.  I'm not sure if it's authentic (i.e. sopping) as a true zucchini, eggplant, and tomato stew, but it was delicious and surprisingly easy to make.
