Back when I worked for our company's corporate headquarters in Cleveland, my department used to have what we called "Fat Days". These were often-themed, potluck-style smörgåsbords of whatever each participant's specialty was that we would graze on throughout an entire business day. Whilst being productive as ever, natch. So, as I wanted to bring something to the table at my new office, something besides my terrible Swedish and even worse jokes, I decided that a tailgate-themed fat day would be just the team-building ticket. (Geez, can I find more ways to use a hyphen in this post? Annoying!) So I sent out an email, posted a sign-up (there it is) sheet at my desk and advised that The Swede and I would bring the chili. Thing is, I can't really make chili. At least, I've never tried and I'm pretty sure feeding a group of people that you have to hang out with for upwards of 40 hours a week isn't the place to start. So canned it is. Felix makes quite a nice chili, so I'm confident that it will get the job done. If it doesn't they will hopefully be lulled into satisfaction by the Rice Krispies Treats® Effect.
