Fried Chicken Extravaganza

My month-long birthday celebration has ended with the Fried Chicken Extravaganza with co-workers this last Tuesday. What is a Fried Chicken Extravaganza? It is my attempt to have a birthday celebration with my co-workers that does not include the traditional birthday cake.

Someone mentioned they wanted fried chicken and I said that I did too. Then it dawned on me that maybe the staff would enjoy a fried chicken lunch together instead of cake and I was right. Everyone seemed rather excited about ordering out chicken. I had to put a creative spin on the whole thing so I named it the Fried Chicken Extravaganza. (I’ve found if you put the word “extravaganza” at the end of almost anything it sounds more festive.) I thought about decorating the office with rubber chickens but I didn’t have the time or money for that kind of detail.

Everyone had a great time. (Except for one co-worker who threw up right after lunch.)
