T'is the season for home made goodies to show up in the office break room.
Or used to.
Some time between when I started (7 years ago) and now the culture in this office has changed. Technical Services shares a floor with Administrative Computing, which is where most of ITS's programmers hang out. SysAdmins and programmers, you'd think this would be prime munching grounds. But you'd be wrong.
Recently I brought in some salted caramel puff corn (a.k.a. "crack" and just as bad for you as it sounds, recipe). Back in 2005 when I brought a batch in it didn't last until lunch. This time around I brought home leftovers. Other sugar-laden goodies have also gone from rapacious consumption to guilty sneaking. You know someone is feeling guilty about eating something when they cut a pre-cut piece in half and eat the half-piece.
I don't know what exactly has caused this sea-change in munchie preference, but it certainly has changed.
