I'm making food for my office "Holiday Potluck." I am making a peach cobbler and chicken caesar pasta salad. This is my second attempt at the peach cobbler, the first time I received great compliments but the neighbor barely ate any and I ended up throwing over half of it away. I am debating on whether or not to add nutmeg, which I added to the first cobbler. I've been digging through different recipes where some people call for nutmeg and others don't. I should have asked Jameil what she thought before I started baking....
Okay call me rude, but I'm nervous about what my coworkers will be bringing in. I put a sign-in sheet up so that we could have an idea of who was bringing what. One person put that they were bringing jellyfish. Really, jellyfish? The majority of my department is made up of foreigners but I am hoping to try a few new dishes that I actually like.
I'm going to save this post now so that I can add pictures of the finished products.
Okay guys, the cobbler is a little browner than I intended it to be because I had the oven on already from cooking the chicken in the pasta. Hopefully my coworkers enjoy~

The cobbler looks beautiful! I put nutmeg in anything that calls for cinnamon! But that's mostly b/c I'm crazy for nutmeg! :) Jellyfish at a work potluck, though??? I'm hoping that was a language barrier thing. You MUST update us on what happened. Work potlucks are always rife with comedy!
@Jameil-Thanks! The cobbler turned out well. BeBe came to my office to get some and she said it was good. She said that she couldn't taste nutmeg but that's only because I put a very small amount in. I have been called to make the cobbler again for my visit home so I'll be sure to add more nutmeg.
So the jellyfish did enter the building. It looked totally disgusting. The coworkers from the same country as the guy who made it dug in but the rest of us chose to pass on it.
There was also a woman who signed up to bring mouth watering chicken. Who knew mouth watering meant your mouth would water because you'd want to throw up from the meat still being partly raw?!Ick!!
All in all, the food was great, I had -itis kick in at about 1:30pm.
I like to died when I read jellyfish! Isn't that poisonous??
However, you did a wonderful job on your cobbler it looks delicious! :)
I read your comment... and I am just DEAD at mouth watering raw chicken!! EWWW!
ummm....wow.
