So one of my final "projects" for Q4 at Yahoo was to organize a potluck. My initial reaction was to cringe because potlucks at my last job was usually a venue for petty bickering and politics. Myron also foretold of bad work potlucks because most people just ended up buying stuff instead of making stuff. Thankfully, my worst nightmares were never realized, and we managed to pull it off. Our team has a lot of good cooks, and the majority of people cooked. Here's the photos of it, you can try to guess what I cooked. Although, you can't assume I cooked asian food because the majority of the team is asian.

As an added bonus, we voted on what the best dishes were. First prize got a $50 Starbucks gift certificate. Second prize got $25 for Starbucks, and a hug from our chairman Nam. Third place got $25 for Starbucks.

The winners were

1. Dolly and her home-made spring rolls.
2. Yimin and his shanghai ribs.
3. Weilin and her chicken green curry.

Thanks to all the cooks who participated. You saved my job! Thankfully, none of these wonderful people in the photos were laid off either. I think we ended up with a total of 25 different dishes.
