It’s Promotable – Spring Forward with The Office Language Club (March 19 – March 25, 2017)

I remember my mother having friends over for coffee; thus, coffee cake. My daughter recalls my friends gathering for classical music afternoon tea; thus, scones and lemon curd. This generation of 20 to 30-year-olds are challenged for gathering and bonding time. There is also a conflict from the strong emphasis on individuality with electronic media. So, where is the next trend to bond and interact with friends? It’s the office language club. Need to brush-up and polish your French, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese or other language? Start an office language club to utilize that interaction during lunchtime. These groups offer educational enhancement and recipe sharing to chat in the language of choice. Many of our office colleagues are multi-cultural; so, find the common ground by wanting to learn. It’s promotable – in more ways than one. Office language clubs need a little sustenance; so, try European candied orange fruit peels. Simply, julienne cut orange rinds. Simmer the rinds, until tender, in 1 cup of water and ¾ cup of sugar. Place the rinds on a paper towel. Then, in a double boiler melt a quality chocolate. Carefully dip the rinds in the chocolate and place the fruit candy on parchment paper. The whole peel can be coated or just the tips. It’s your choice for a delicious tidbit to enhance the intellectual camaraderie! © Kelly McBride Loft
