DOLA Cinco De Mayo Potluck 2010

Alright, Shawn and others are already planning the next DOLA-Employee Quality Team shin-dig... the DOLA Cinco De Mayo Potluck.  It will be held, not suprisingly, on May 5, 2010, at the 1313 Sherman DOLA Headquarters at 11:30 am.  But, and I write this with all anticipation and excitement, it will be held OUTSIDE on the Sherman Patio. Having just pulled out of our most recent winter storm, doesn't lunch in the sun, on the patio, sound INCREDIBLE???  Of course, Spring brings Front Range sun and storms, so the backup plan is to host the potluck inside in the 1B Cafeteria.

So, what is the plan?  Well, Sign up sheets can be found at the DLG and DOH Front Desks.  You can also donate funds for meat, plates, cups, etc.  The Donation Deadline is April 30, 2010, and all donations should be made to Darlene Mendoza or Shawn Wright by then. Be sure to also bring your favorite side dish!!!  As we get closer, there will be more info on events, pics and other event specifics.

Candidly... I am thinking about seeking the OK to make some of my Frito Pie.  Originally from Texas (note:  I got to Colorado as fast as I could), the opportunity for me to clear sinuses with a good, homemade 5-alarm is tough to pass on.  If you are not familiar with a Frito Pie, it is a bowl of bean-n-beef chili (special Chernobyl-level recipie and I'll make some lesser-alarm), scooped on top of a bed of corn chips, then covered with cheese and optional onions, tomatoes and sour cream. 

I have a weakness for foods you must pair with Gatorade to keep from passing out.  DOLA's Cinco de Mayo will be a perfect excuse!

What will you make?
