Casserole and Department Meetings

Want to make a plate of Sicilian casserole sit poorly on your stomach? It's simple -- just follow it with a department meeting. Blah followed by blaher. The good news is no more department meetings for a while. The bad news is there's always another department meeting out there, crouched in the weeds, ready to pounce.

Meetings are indispensable when you don't want to do anything.
