Lol. I need to know what Victor brought.

I NEVER eat homemade food. I'm sorry but too many people don't wash their hands in the bathroom lol

We had a holiday treats potluck at my new job this week and I was worried, lol. Luckily about half of it was store bought and I could skip the homemade stuff without trouble.

I do not eat just anyone's food. People do too much.

I will eat homemade dessert! I feel like the sugar will kill all germs lmao

I feel like you would feel differently if you lived in America. I don't know. I was way more willing to eat homemade food in Africa than I am here.

Every year, a guy in my office brings in dozens and dozens of homemade cookies and biscotti. Everyone raves about what a great pastry chef he is. I mean, I am pet owner, I have two small dogs. But I know he has dogs and cats, and he regularly looks disheveled. Someone said something about the biscotti the other day and I let slip that I'd never had any. They looked at me like I was crazy but I didn't want to have to explain that there is no way I'm eating anything that guy or anyone else in that office made.

There was a girl like this at my old assignment. Everyone raved about her desserts. Well one day she brings them in and I see her cut something, lick her fingers, and go back to cutting again. Yep, she make be the best damn dessert maker ever, but I will never know.

Y'all are cracking me up! This is an area where I lose my black card. I eat all sorts of shit from PTA and random stuff that appears in the teacher's lounge. My coworkers usually bring breakfast and snacks to our day long staff meetings and I eat all that crap too. Hell, I just ate some okra from a white coworker that she canned herself. I didn't give any to dd though, just in case. Lol. DH and I bought tamales from a woman selling them door to door on our block. I was just going to buy them to help her out but DH convinced me to eat some. They were delicious! That should have been my line but it wasnt. Maybe I don't have a line.

Consider my pearls clutched.

LOL. I know it's out of hand. If it makes you feel better, I only take store bought stuff to potlucks and meetings.

I would eat food from some of my coworkers, However when Francine with 3 dogs and 2 cats made banana bread I did pass because if her black pants are covered in dog hair...imagine the banana bread...
