pantryslut1. Unexpected conversation in an elevator:
Dr. L: "Nice shirt."
Me: "Thank you."
Dr. L: (to third party in elevator) "What color would you call that?"
Me: "The catalog says it's magenta."
Dr. L: "That's just what I was going to say. Magenta. Magenta and Columbia." (to third party) "Do you know where that's from?"
Third Party: "No, I don't."
Dr. L: "The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Fun movie."
2. Potluck Offerings
Only one person brought anything even vaguely homemade to eat to the wedding shower potluck this morning. And that was a pasta casserole with bottled sauce. Had I known, I would have been much less reluctant to sign up for something. Heck, I could've gone around the corner and picked up some deli stuff.
In my memory, office potlucks in Chicago seemed so much better-provisioned. And they always had banana pudding. You can never go wrong with banana pudding.
