Dunder Mifflin Canton Branch... the meaning of life..
Hello Everyone! My name is Sarah although many of you probably know me as cinderellas1shoo (my DMI moniker). It is my pleasure to bring you what is hopefully the first of many weekly newsletters. I really want to make these things big with weekly featured employees, task and forum updates all kinds of stuff, but before that all happens you guys have to read it!!!!
First I'd like to share a little background information on myself.
I am still very new to the DMI Canton, but in the real Canton I am fairly experienced. I was born in Arizona but I grew up in Canton, I graduated from Canton South High School, I live in Canton Township and I work in an Office in North Canton. Whew that's a lot of Canton. You can find more info on me and my other life at www.myspace.com/cinderellas1shoo or you can check me out on twitter at justsarah_h. I love to Read and Write, I love vampires, kittens, bagels with sun dried tomato cream cheese from Panera, espresso and my dog Liberty Sue. I hope that reading this Newsletter every week brings everyone a little bit of joy, if so then Job well done :)
OK now to the business at hand!!!!

Photo Of the Week:
Website of the week:
Get a Bobble head of yourself made here. A Real One!!!
"The Bobble Head is Me!!!"
Recipe of the week:
Pirate Fruit Salad
I think it’s delicious and also you have full rights to talk like a pirate whilst you eat it.
Fruits:
1 Apple
1 Orange
2 Rings of Pineapple
1 Banana
Some grapes
Any other fruit you enjoy like strawberries etc etc.
Rum Syrup:
4 tbsp water
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp rum
Add all the ingredients for the rum syrup into a pan and bring to the boil, set it on simmer for 2 minutes and let it cool down completely.
Peel and chop up your fruit to make a normal fruit salad. I suggest chopping up half the orange and squeezing the other half into the rum syrup. Add the syrup and mix well before placing into a leak-proof box and putting into the fridge. Make sure you remember it in the morning when you go to work and enjoy with a good round of “YAAAARRR!” and “Where HAS all the rum gone”?
