This occurred at a member of the family’s office a couple of months in the past.
A potluck was held at my member of the family’s workplace to have a good time the top of chemotherapy for a lady who was battling breast most cancers. She holds a senior function within the group, is well-liked and extremely revered, and her colleagues have been practically as devastated by her prognosis as she was. When she accomplished a really aggressive months-long chemo routine, they wished to mark the milestone in an appropriately celebratory approach, so a bunch of her coworkers organized a potluck celebration.
There have been all the same old contributions to an workplace potluck – meatballs, salads, sandwiches, chips, desserts, and so forth. After which there was, um, the opposite factor.
Certainly one of her (male) coworkers made an genuine Italian confection to deliver to the potluck, explaining that it simply appeared to suit, in some way. His contribution was a platter of a number of dozen handmade truffles referred to as Capezzole di Venere.
Capezzole di Venere, for many who don’t communicate Italian, interprets to “Nipples of Venus.”
And within the compulsory coda to the story, the coworker who contributed Nipples of Venus to a potluck in celebration of beating breast most cancers is the brother of the honoree. His sister the breast most cancers survivor was absolutely conscious forward of his plans beforehand, and he or she thought it was hilarious. Along with sharing the identical mother and father and the identical employer, they clearly additionally share the identical irreverent and ribald humorousness. Luckily!
