I feel kinda spoiled.

Richard was off today. I had to work. Not spoiled so far, I know. So anyway, Richard was off, and the plan was that he’d spend the day getting some of the dishes for Thursday ready. That of course started with major groceries. So knowing that, I figured dinner would be minimal if not take out. I even called to see what I could bring home, you know, to help out. He said I didn’t need to stop.

I came home to not only find him cooking for the Thanksgiving potluck we are going to, but a rather nice dinner too! I went up to change and saw that he remembered my dry cleaning AND changed the bed. Aw!

I hate the potluck scenario at work. Not all the time, we have some great cooks. This time of year though it’s a bit ... ew. There are all those random seasonal people you don’t know very well. You don’t know their kitchen standards! Not that you know anyone’s really. So anyway. We are doing this full on catered holiday lunch at work for all associates. However, the idea is the potluck style desserts. My instinct is to not play along, and avoid random desserts. In fact, that was the plan until my boss hinted that all managers should participate. Okay, so now I need to go to Ralphs. Right?

Well Richard is trying to talk me into baking a cake. Specifically the devil’s food pound cake. I figure just getting something is fine but he thinks the effort of baking an actual cake would be noticed.

That would put me baking at midnight tonight after a long workday. What do you think internet? Bake or Buy?
