Tomorrow is our co-worker Joanne’s last day with the company, she is moving out of state and we will miss her dearly!

We had a potluck today and everyone brought their own special dish, and they all complemented the dish i made.

I made my lemon lime baked chicken and it was amazingly delicious, the flavor of the lemon lime mixture complemented the chicken really well.

I added cilantro, garlic, and mix of delicious spices.

Overall, the potluck was a success!
