A nostalgic dinner idea that every guest will love
My friends and I like to home hop monthly to catch up — and every time there’s a new food/drink theme to the night. Last weekend’s theme was my favorite so far...
The theme was nostalgic night so everyone brought a snack, appetizer or dessert that reminds them of their childhood. The host’s main meal was grilled cheese dipped with tomato soup and a salad. The rest was a free-for-all!
Guests didn’t tell each other what they were bringing to keep it a surprise... Because the reactions were arguably the best.
While the food wasn’t necessarily complementary (and not the healthiest batch) — it got us all talking about our childhood. Plus we ate foods we hadn’t tried in years and it gave everyone a reason to contribute.
Here’s the list of items everyone brought.
Fig Newton’s (2 people came with this!)
Mini PB&J sandwiches (best jelly flavor was a great debate).
Pizza bagel bites (gone within minutes)
Salami and cheese bites (deli sliced style)
Sour patch kids
Poptarts (what’s your favorite flavor?)
Kraft mac and cheese (classic)
Chicken and Parmesan stew
Lunchables (the jam and cheese flavor)
Sliced apples and caramel dip
FGB’ers, what food would you bring and why?

I have a hourly job at a gourmet grocery, this is a fun job and is not a career job.
It is fun except when the owner shows up...she is a great person but not approachable....if we have a suggestion it is immediately dismissed, then is a couple of weeks she will bring up some changes, hmmmmm...and also she restricts time requested off.....says this is a time off zone...really a part time, no benfit job

I have been searching for a job for a little over a year
I have great experience and I believe I have been acing my interviews. The only big issue is that my experience is from another country. How can I get experience in this country when no one wants to hire me?

Yesterday I was supposed to have my 1:1 with my boss directly after our team call to talk with him about my Q4 goals.
He asked the rest of the team to stay and hear what I had put together. When I told him what I had planned he said that I wasn't proactive or strategic and hadn't done certain things. I spoke calmly back and said it wasn't true and that I had done these things he mentioned and it hadn't really worked well and then I mentioned what was working. It didn't go well and I feel angry and demoralized as I have had a lot of success in my role but he keeps making terrible comments like this in meetings. I have a lot of experience in my field and I'm trying to share my expertise but he doesn't want to listen to it and thinks he knows everything. I'm hoping for some advice on how to handle someone like him.
