Episode 43: Shortest SLAW ever, Waiting for Mr X, Spa and Cruz chats Morocco

By CRUZ | EDITOR in CHIEF
Published: July 19th , 2011
To date, this was the shortest SLAW since we started sharing lunch at work November of 2010.  We started 12:10pm and I was cleaning up by 12:25pm. 
Because of just insane hot weather in NYC, I decided not to bring lunch from home and bought is frmo our Staff Cafe.  I went with
- Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Hot sauce, Blue Cheese, Carrtos and Celery.
- Mrs Vickie's Potato Chips
- Madeleines Petite French Cakes (from Starbucks)

 

Cash ate his half of Buffalo Chicken Wrap, I offered him another half and he politely declined.  I also offered him dessert and he declined that as well.  Mr X was busy with a meeting and since we were done in 15 minutes, he missed SLAW.  Spa and I discussed her upcoming vacation to Paris and Morocco.  For the record, Spa did really like this wrap.
And there you have it.  The Shortest SLAW in the history of SLAWs. 
I left Mr X's meal (I did cover it up though). He called me when I was back at my desk to thank me since this is his most favorite thing from our staff cafe.

Episode 42: Mrs Cash on Vacation, Spa/Mr X help out and Cash invents SLAWPOLOGY.

By CRUZ | EDITOR in CHIEF
Office Lunch Occured: July 5th , 2011
So Mrs Cash is on vacation.  Mr X/Spa helped out Cash (who is quite busy at work) and ordered a Pizza Pie from City Market Cafe, a deli close by.  The deli is so-so although they do make pretty good pizza.  For lunch we had:
- 1 Margarita Pizza Pie
- Salad with Mushrooms, Cranberries, Almonds, Tomato, Lettuce in Balsamic Vinigrette

All of us are super busy at work these days so not much time to eat. 

 

 

It was a quick lunch, 25 minutes at most and SLAW was over.  We did notice Spa adding salad to her pizza slice, kinda a pretend healthy pizza :)

Its been a week since this last SLAW so it is hard for me to remember what we talked about except that our discussion ended abrubtly.  In short some of jokes heavily targeted one of the members of Team SLAW.  To de-sour and sweeten Team SLAW, Cash invented slawPology.  (SLAW(Sharing lunch at Work + Apology).

After officially issuing the first ever slawPology, we all felt quite sweet and averted the end of SLAW for now.

Behind the Scene: Spa, Cash and Pretzel Hotdogs!

If you are wondering what we eat on NON-SLAW days*, this is the right post to read.
* Refers to days where we don't share lunch at work and eat separate, well not all of us apparently.
I stopped by Table SLAW during lunch hour and saw Cash and Spa fine-dining on Prezel Hotdogs and Pretzels.  
A total Carb Calorie Fiesta Frenzy!

 
Spa gave me a piece of the soft pretzels and they were DELICIOUS! 

Episode 41: Spa Slathers, Cash Flirts, Mr X Talks Hair and Cruz Leaves with Leftovers

By CRUZ | EDITOR in CHIEF

Welcome to our first July episode of SLAW Weekly, where 4 of us spice up our office lunch once a week, most weeks. Its Spa Day and based on texts and e-mails received from Spa yesterday, i knew what was coming our way.  Well, it was that and much more.  Slaw started on time, and by the time I reached SLAW table, everything was setup nicely. 
Spa brought:
MAIN COURSE: Grass Fed Boneless Rib-eye marianated in Slatherin Sauce (Original)
CHEESE: Prairie Breeze Cheddar
SALAD: Tossed Salad with Tomato, Red Onion, Cucumber, Mushrooms, Dried Cranberries, and Sliced Almonds.
DESSERT: Red and Blue Cookies (in honor of 4th of July)
Here is what I saw when i walked in.  Lunch ready!

Lunch was DELICIOUS and HEALTHY.  Less on carbs and high on protein and taste (ignore those cookies for now). Now here is why lunch was delicious.  First of all everything was hand selected or prepared by Spa.  She put alot of thought into it.  Starting with sauce for the rib-eye.  It was Slatherin Sauce  and like they say Slather it on. http://slatheriton.com/

Second, Spa prepared the steak on 4th of July.  She went to her local butcher in Brooklyn and consulted on meat. Once home, she prepped the meat and took pictures (posted on this blog yesterday).  After hours of cook time, Rib-Eye was ready to be sliced up.  To ensure perfection she even ate some of it last night. Now that's some dedication.   

On to Cheese.  The Prairie Breeze Cheedar was delicious. Milton Creamery gets two thumbs up from Team SLAW.

Besides food, our in-house DJ Cash mixed up our office lunch with some 80's tunes.  Today's song was Jukebox (Don't Put Another Dime) by The Flirts. Link: http://youtu.be/Kohs_nlQzpM

So there we have it.  An office lunch with great food, good music, company and the best part, Spa loved doing all the prep and cooking.  Although if I somewhat quote Cash, this SLAW would be perfect if there was atleast one more cookie each and a cup of coffee.  Maybe next time Cash.

Almost forgot, Mr X did describe how Mrs Cash did her hair back in the 80's (this while we watched the Flirts sing JukeBox).  Front straight up (thinking gel) and back buzz cut. And yes yes, I as always happily took away the leftovers as my pre-dinner snack.  Good stuff.

Spa prepares for SLAW & Happy 4th of July everyone.

First of all 

Second of all I know Spa has been quite busy today preparing for SLAW tomorrow.  To prove, here are some images from her SLAW prep.
