Calling all Iron Chefs - no...that's not me. I've been tasked with cooking and baking this week. At work my department is hosting it's first annual Christmas breakfast. Our sister branch in Victoria does this yearly and we thought that we'd start the tradition on this side of the water.
As leader of the Gung Ho committee (our departmental social club) - I was given 2 weeks to put it all together. The committee participation is pretty pathetic - just Robyn and I are members now. I gathered money from everyone, sent out invitations and intended on going to Costco to shop last night. On the way home I nearly fell asleep at the wheel again as I was so tired - it's been really busy at work - so I decided to take a nap first before going grocery shopping. My nap turned into a 3 hour power nap. I woke up in time to rush to the mall, grab a secret santa gift for my coworker, go to Save On Foods and pick up all the groceries needed for the breakfast party. This morning I lugged all the stuff into work. Good thing was that I found parking in the shipping and receving bay, loaded a trolley with my items and took it upstairs.
Part of the breakfast includes collecting donations for the food bank (in terms of canned goods or money). I'll be dropping off those items on the way to Richmond tomorrow. Z95.3 is having their Food Bank Fillup campaign right now. One of the locations is the Safeway on Hastings and Willingdon. Going to drop off the donations there after work tomorrow. We're cooking for a good cause. So that makes me feel better when I have to be in at 6:30am tomorrow to scramble eggs, fry bacon and stuff. I'll post pics later.
