The Christmas Party

boston lettuce salad

salmon entree

Friend S invited me to accompany her to her office Christmas party as I have been doing for the past 2 or 3 years.  It was fun to see everyone dressed up in all their finery although it was very cold that evening -7c (19F).  There was an open bar so we had some cocktails, many appetizers and chatted with some of S's co-workers.  Before long, it was time to go into the dining room to our assigned tables.  We chose to have the salmon entree.  We were served a squash soup and a boston lettuce salad for starters.  Dessert was a chocolate torte with fruit and whipped cream.  S and I were getting tired so we left as the dancing started.

One interesting story was that one of the young mothers at the party gave birth to her 2nd child in the office washroom some this past summer.  Her mother arrived just in time to help with the delivery and they waited for the paramedics to arrive, they cut the umbilical cord.
