They brought paper plates, plastic cutlery and napkins, too. I was
talking about a work pot luck. It was usually the men who were the ones
who didn't cook. Things got difficult when the company started stocking
tableware. Uh oh, a pot luck! Better run to a bakery! Find a cake or
a pie! I only knew a few men who actually cooked. I'll never forget
one man whose wife brought in a pan of homemade Spanikopita. He was so
proud! It was delicious, but he acted like *he'd* done something. No,
his wife showed up with a baking dish...
