Sonoma Partners holiday party!

Yesterday was a fun day because we had our Sonoma Partners holiday party. We ordered in a few snacks for lunch and gave every Sonoma Partners employee their holiday present: a Microsoft Zune.

We gave everyone video IPods last year, but now IPods seem almost overdone and cliche as even grandmothers have an Ipod. Philip Richardson really turned us on to the Zune last month, so everyone can thank Philip for the inspiration.

After lunch, we headed to the Chopping Block for a fun cooking event. We cooked up a great meal (with some professional help), had a few drinks along the way, and had a pseudo-cooking competition. Believe it or not, the meal we made consisted of:

• Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Crème Fraiche and Caviar
• Truffle, Onion and Bacon Tartlettes
• Roasted Prime Rib with Cognac Pan Sauce
• Broccoli and Cauliflower Gratin
• Chocolate and Hazelnut Mousse

Even though Brad is a guru with C# and the Microsoft CRM SDK, he's also very proud of his skillmanship with the blender so we want to make sure we acknowledge that.
