Today we have our second potluck lunch in office. Everybody brings their favorite recipes, which they have cooked the day before. Now all these contained dishes are piled up waiting to be warmed in the microwave oven.

At 12:30pm, we stop working and come to our meeting room, also serving as our dining room during the lunch time. All the warmed dishes are placed on the desks, which are set in the shape of “U”, making people more space to move around. Before we start to wolf down the food, everybody has to introduce the food ingredients and how to cook their dish. This is a great opportunity to share cooking experience. We don’t live to eat, but eating adds lots of fun to life.

Now it’s lunch time for our second potluck! Words are very unnecessary. Enjoy the food on the desks. No sound is heard except the a little bit chewing sound.
