In my old job I ended up being quite well known for my culinary skills [such as they are - ha]. I cooked entire meals for our United Way campaigns and also did baked goods. Those I worked with could very well excpect tasty baked treats [such as they are from me - they can be a bit hit and miss - I'm way more of a cook than a baker] if it was their birthday or maybe some other special day. I baked my first apple pie [with homemade pastry no less!] for those people, dammit! And honestly, I know it was appreciated.
I'm having a bit of a hard time fitting in @ my new job - possibly because I work with a very small group of people and they are all Management/Director-level type people and I'm a lowly worker bee. Also, since I'm only there three days per week, there is a disconnect that happens on both a professional and a personal level. I figure that everyone loves tasty baked goods and since I've been baking a lot more today I brought in homemade baked goods to the office for no reason @ all. I make this banana and chocolate cake a lot - usually once every week and a half or whenever I can get my hands on some bananas that are turning bad. I think I know the recipe off by heart, which...for a non-baker like me - that's really something. The cake went over really well - with one person coming back for seconds. But really - who doesn't love cake on Friday?
