Pasta and Pastry Party

Night duty shouldn't be a frightening experience but rather a joyful one, expecting a surprise not by the emergency cases that one may experience but rather being surprised to what food your co-worker may bring, hence I decided that every Saturday night (instead of having a Saturday Night Parties in different clubs in the metro), we will have our own OR Saturday party with different themes every week.

Last night is our first party night duty, and because Mam B and I were the one who is on duty we decided to have a Pasta and Pastry Party. I'm the one responsible for the pastries while she'll do the pasta, specifically she'll do a Seafood Marinara.

I can't decide what to bake, in the end I decided to make three different kinds of cookies. I kinda felt pressured kasi ang mamahal ng ingredients nung seafood pasta ni Mam B, so para ma-compensate naman sya I’ll make three different kinds of cookies: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies and Peanut Butter Cookies.

Anyways, we always believed that when we brought foods in OR during the night shift, will be having less emergency cases but last night muntikan ng hindi umepek ang dala namin buti na lang marami yung dala naming foods so when we arrived the ongoing emergency craniotomy is already closing (skin suturing) and hindi na dumating yung isa pang emergency cranio from Laguna.

The first theme party we had was a success. Jops, Benj and Sir Aldrin also dropped by around 11pm so nakiparty na rin sila sa amin and as expected the food we brought is highly appreciated. The Sunday morning staffs were able to eat our treat too and they loved it.

Next Saturday is another event although this time around, I’ll be the one responsible for the main dish while Mam B’s responsible for the dessert.
