On Wednesday afternoon, Erik threw his much anticipated pot in celebration of the start of his CNRS position.
One pot to go: 8 bottles of Champagne, 4 bottles of white wine, 12 bottles of red, one bottle of rye, 12 Canadian beers, assorted pop and juice, chips, veggies and dips, sliced ham, four kinds of cheese (gorgonzola and mascarpone, goat cheese, comte, brie de meaux), red pepper and goat cheese tarts, rice krispie squares, cheesecake brownies, peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, grapes and ten baguettes.
Tatiana came and picked us up around noon on Wednesday to transport us and all our goodies out to the ecole. We spent the next couple of hours finding ice, and transforming a conference room into party central.
Around 4:00, the entire lab, about 70 people, showed up to enjoy the celebration. Erik gave a little speech, then the bottles of champagne were popped and the party began.
Pavel graciously brought some smoked pig fat studded with garlic.
The rye whisky was quite popular. All that was left at the end was the purple bag.
The aftermath
The verdict: best pot ever!

The pork fat was not smoked, by the way. Just salted! ;)
