Lew and I went to a Christmas party tonight at the home of some church friends. We had a wonderful time, and I ate too many sweets (as usual).
Our contribution to the party was a finger sandwich platter -- 12 tuna salad, 12 chicken salad, and 12 egg salad.
I did not make the sandwiches. Why would I do that when I can walk into Hannaford on a Thursday and order the sandwiches for a Saturday pickup? :)
Lew had told me to "go heavy" on the egg salad, as it is always the first to go. That's his theory anyway.
I did not listen and ordered the same amount of each. I like symmetry.
At the end of the evening, here's what we had left:
1 egg salad
2 chicken salad
6 tuna salad
So, I guess Lew's theory was partly correct. He is viewing this as a complete victory, although the chicken salad was a really close second!
(Postscript: Lew also has a pizza theory. When ordering for a large group of people, "go heavy" on the pepperoni. I happen to agree with him on this one!)
