Going off to visit the wife’s place of employ for lunch. Time for the good ol’ ‘merican traditional "pitch-in" luncheon. You know, the kind of thing where two-thirds of the people bring some sort of Jell-O® salad or potato chip/cracker-based casserole, one-sixth of the people bring a tasty treat that everyone else gorges on so there is none left by the time you get to the head of the line, and the last one-sixth of the pitch-in’s participants bring nothing and merely scavenge.

I believe my wife falls into the first one-sixth category by bringing both a sour cream-raisin pie and a spinach/raisin/pine nut dish.

Do you have pitch-ins at your place of employment? What are your thoughts on these pitch-ins?
