Okay, if not money, maybe this

So, my cubicle is directly adjacent to the department's kitchen. Normally, this is a really bad, bad, bad thing. The smells that waft out during lunch can be vicious. Sometimes heady and tantalizing, but usually of the burned popcorn/leftover tacos variety. But today, friends, the kitchen is producing a smell that has been making my stomach growl since 9 a.m.

It's our holiday potluck today, and the following foods are causing my stomach to contract in all its empty, longing glory:

Hashbrown casserole
Spicy buffalo wings
Some kind of yummy-looking soup
My spinach-artichoke dip
Cheese tray (CHEESE TRAY!)
Brownies with caramel on top and what looks like a graham cracker crust

I could go on, but writing this is just making it worse. Is it 11:30 yet? Every inhale of those fumes is making me a little crazier.
