Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Last Friday our office had their annual Ball benefiting Cerner's First Hand organization that helps children with medical needs.  We weren't able to make it to the event, but did enter the raffle and happened to win a really nice price.  At first I was confused as I was told we won a hamper.  I was thinking laundry, but apparently it's more along the lines of a picnic themed wicker basket.

The hamper is from Fortnum & Mason which apparently is a lovely shop.  As Cory transported the hamper between our two office buildings he had several ladies comment.  "Oh wow, fancy."


In the hamper we received the following:
  • Champagne
  • Sauvignon Blanc
  • Merlot
  • Clotted Cream Biscuits
  • Fruit Cake
  • Olives
  • Malt Morsels
  • Truffle Selection
  • Venison 
  • Salvatore Ferragamo Purple tie
Neither Cory or I have ever heard of Salvatore Ferragamo, but apparently we should know about him.  The tie retails for £160.  I love purple, but I'm not so sure Cory is convinced it's his look.    We can't let such a valuable gift go to waste, so next time you see Cory in a suit make sure to compliment him on his new purple tie.

As for the Venison, I am saving it for when my mom arrives as she has a new found love for eating wild game.  She may have a change in heart when she sees the venison puree.

We're very excited to sample the hamper items and will perhaps open up one of the bottles to celebrate our 5 year anniversary this Friday.
