Free Lunch!

Employee meeting today followed by free lunch! The whole office trucked over to the downtown aquarium which was a nice change of venue. Usually our meetings are in a nearby theater where I invariably fall asleep in the cushy chair in the low lighting. With that kind of environment it can't entirely be my fault though. Who can stay awake in the morning under those conditions? Anyway. Meeting was good, lots of fun facts and beat of all I stayed awake throughout. Probably a good thing when the CEO is in attendance, no?

Lunch was a buffet with fried chicken, some cheesy pesto pasta thing and biscuits with crudités and salad station. I got a little of everything for research purposes. No salad though. Just crudités. Mix of veggies was nice. The aquarium threw in some fun stuff like whole carrots and raw eggplant and endive along with the standard tomato, squash, celery choices. The carrot was the best thing about lunch. I am not making that up. Very tasty and sweet. Makes me wonder if it was local which would explain why it hasn't had the life sucked out it yet like store carrots.

Fried chicken was bland. Meat had no flavor. Coating was ok though. Pasta was pretty good but heavy for lunch. Glad I didn't get more than a few bites of that. Biscuit tasted like KFC but that's cool. KFC makes a fair biscuit. Too much fake butter brushed on top though. Filling but also pretty marginal all together.

Ducky Momo and Chungry ducked out in favor of paying for lunch somewhere else. That's just how they roll. Suckers.

Desserts were meh. I'm a cake and pie gal myself and this was mostly tarts and fancy pastries. Took a berry tart to go. Not too bad. Ate half and picked the fruit off.

Noticed all the dudes just did chicken pasta and biscuits. Not a veggie anywhere in sight. It kind of grosses me out. I can only imagine the gastrointestinal havoc being wrecked on office mates this afternoon. Way to go guys. Thank god you don't sit on my floor.
