I worked for a landscape company that had three people in our department with the same name as me, so they'd occasionally send a couple of us out with this other crew and every time they'd introduce us as "Hi I'm Ron, this is my coworker Cap'n, and my other coworker Cap'n!"

TL - for all the noise you're making, an I, really? Rubbish!
And the Christmas lunch party...
Well there was a case of a knife getting knocked behind the washing machine(thanks-clumsy me) which caused some consternation, but yeah, party was great, everyone said the food was great! And they liked the steaks!
See? Always get the right vendors the job =)
There were no complaints about any of the food items not tasting good, though there was quite some mutton left over. (I can't really cut down on the mutton since it comes on a whole lamb leg)
My complaint about the steak: When I ordered the communal platter of rib steak - I thought I was going to get 1 kg of ribs and 1 kg of steak. It turns out it's 1 kg of rib steak. Luckily there was enough for everyone. Having not enough food for everyone would be horribly embarrassing.
I had a beer, ate fried rice, had spaghetti, ate mutton, beef, pork ribs and chicken wings, ate 2 slices of hazelnut praline log cake, two scoups of ice cream, an osmanthus ice jelly and generally made a happy pig of myself =)
Osmanthus ice jelly btw - is not something you'll find anywhere. It's a Mort made creation. Basically it was inspired by this, but instead I used ice jelly powder instead of konnyaku jelly powder, since I felt that the soft, smooth texture of ice jelly powder better compliments the light taste of the osmanthus flower.
Konnyaku jelly powder makes for chewier jellies, best used for stronger flavours such as canned longans

And anyway Severus Snape shouldn't be ISTJ...I dunno what he'd be. And I don't have anything in common with Severus! I wouldn't be keeping so many secrets!
You may not keep secrets, but if you're "I" Severis is much more so - that dude doesn't social well, all.
Also: awesome!
EDIT: Woops!
BTW the last time I did the house sorter thing? Ravenclaw
Hmm was expecting Hufflepuff...for being hard-working, friendly, loyal, honest and rather impartial.
Maybe not the friendly part. But the rest, yes!

The Christmas menu in question:
1 kg of ribeye beef steak(medium - well done)ribsteak,
2 kg of ribs
2 kg of roast lamb shank with bone-in
A mixed sausage platter
25 fried chicken wings
2 packets of fried rice
2 packets of beef bologonise spaghetti
Sautéed Brussel Sprouts with bacon bits
Boiled French beans
Buttered kennel corn
Sautéed mushrooms.
1 kg of hazelnut praline log cake.
Shrooms ran out - I think I need moar shrooms next year. Was considering cutting chicken wings from 25 to 15, but again with only 6 pieces left over it might not be the best of ideas. We need to have a certain amount of leftovers - so that there's enough food for everyone.
12 adults attending the lunch in question.
