At my work we do something called soup club. Every Monday, members of soup club take turns, in groups, providing lunch for the rest of soup club. About a month ago it was my turn to provide lunch. Normally I had offered to bake some buns, while my partner made the soup. However I didn’t have time to bake buns that weekend so I stopped at a local chain bakery, and picked some up on the way in. Everyone loved the buns and said they were the best thing ever. There was never a chance for me to say that I hadn’t baked them before it was being announced around the office that I was the best baker on our whole team. So now once a month I place an order for 18 buns at this same bakery while trying desperately to recreate them. People have started to request I bring them to staff meetings or other potluck events. I’m terrified that one day I’ll be asked last minute for buns for the next day’s meeting, and the bakery won’t have any. People have told me my buns are the best part of soup club, and as long as I keep making those buns, they don’t care if I never take a turn making the soup.
TL:DR- bought buns instead of making them, need to keep up the charade because it brings universal joy to the office.
