There are Christmas parties at Assembly Plants. They are individual to the plants, the areas, the teams and whatever. As suppliers we have to participate in all and stay within a budget. In the olden days I only had to participate in one and then take some asshats out to lunch. This year I have to go along to a couple lunches, drop off some cookies, make time for my own lunch with a new friend and make some Buckeyes.
I have "cooked" for the plants before, mostly Big Daddy did it and I claimed the awards. Well, this year we will be making Buckeyes together. One party we must attend needs desserts and when the manager and I were chatting she mentioned that she was a nut for Buckeyes. I shared that I was like a dog with a bone for Christmas cookies.
My New Orleans (dotcom) has an story and a recipe for Buckeyes and I said to myself, Supe and I will be heros if I can pull this one off. Now I just have to find someone that makes Christmas cookies.
Oh and I renewed my acquaintance with the plumbing community. When I arose this morning Big Daddy was already under the kitchen sink grunting and swearing. After a few hours of that he made an appointment with Roto Rooter and $300.00 later our sink and garbage disposal is working again.
I need that sink for the Buckeye making.
You're off to a belly laughing start to the holiday. Even I could make buckeyes. You'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteWill let you know.
DeleteBuckeyes are new to me, off to look them up, but it looks good anyway!
ReplyDeleteOh I thought it was the steak starter, but no, they look amazing!
ReplyDeleteWill let you know, the proof will be in the manager as she is last word on Buckeyes.
DeleteIts good to know we're still assembling cars here. Incidentally, how do you pronounce your name? It lacks vowels.
ReplyDeleteOh, you can call me Nola Rice, my nom de plume, name was thought up when the industry was going to shit and I was depressed.
