The Mother Of All Pitch In's :-))


The Pitch In

This must have been the best "Themed" pitch in we have ever had. There are 2 shifts where I work. I am on the 2nd shift. So we all decided that we would vote on the themes for the pitch in. The 1st shift decided that they would go for the "Baseball" theme. You know hot dogs, soda pop and popcorn... Then 2nd shift voted.... We came up with a "Picnic" theme. It was one of the best Pitch In's I have ever been to. Let me show you why!!!
The table was set up with all that you can imagine with a picnic in mind. First we have the Cucumber Salad. This is freshly sliced cucumbers and olives in a vinaigrette dressing.


Then we have a Watermelon Salad with freshly sliced mozzarella, mint leaves and balsamic vinaigrette.

Here you have the Green leaf lettuce, Cauliflower, Bacon, Green Onions,White Onions, Sweet mayo and parmesan dressing.
Here we have an Asian Salad with greens and cashews.
Here we have a traditional Pasta Salad with cucumber, pepperoni, cubed cheese and green bell pepper.
This is also a traditional salad with a tangy sauce, onion, mushrooms and lots of leafy greens.
Here we have a BBQ Chicken and Fruit Salad. This salad was made with spinach leaves, BBQ slow cooked chicken, sliced pineapple, sliced peaches, lemon slices and a tangy Pineapple-Peach BBQ dressing. This was my salad for the pitch in :-)))

For Dessert

We have the Waldorf Salad minus the apples.. We all know what this has in it!
Double Layer Brownie Cake with Cream Cheese Topping
AND to top it all off... The Cream Cheese filled Strawberries with a drizzle of chocolate. The cream cheese was mixed with sugar and vanilla to create a cheese cake type filling. I have to admit I ate a few. I know it's not in my plan, but every once in awhile you just have to eat a little bad cause it's so good. They were divine!
So as you can see, there was quite s spread. We also had some traditional chicken salad, rolls and some store bought cookies. It was quite an eventful evening. Let's just say that none of us went hungry and we all left work satisfied for once... It was a great night.

Thanks to all who made this night happen..
Patti, Dawne, Teresa, Cathy, Lisa, Patrick, Marilyn, Denise and Me!!



Happy Eating Folks :-)))
