No, I’m not the pregnant lady! It’s my friend A. We had another quarterly meeting this week at the Marriott in Conshy. They feed us of course, how else would they get us to attend? This week’s lunch fare was much more casual than meetings past. We had some salad and pasta salad. Two cold sandwich selections – turkey and roast beef.
There were two “hot” sandwich selections – grilled ham and cheese and bruschetta. They also had some tomato bisque with crab. Except it wasn’t bisque since it wasn’t creamy. And there was no crab. So it was really chunky tomato soup. However, there was a crab dip that did have nice huge chunks of crab. People ate it up like soup.
For dessert they had little mini key lime pies. These were tasty little suckers. They weren’t too tart either. They had a nice mild flavor. There was vanilla mousse with oreo crumbles. It was good but not very vanilla-y. I still liked it. There were cookies too.
Now the thing that sucked is that apparently, when you’re pregnant, you can’t eat deli meat. So A couldn’t eat very much of the lunch this day. All of the sandwiches had deli meat and she doesn’t like bruschetta. So she had to stick with salad and the crab dip. We missed the awesome mashed potatoes from last time. Sigh.

We had an all company meeting on Monday at the Marriott. I love these, because they feed us, haha, buffet style. I got there a bit early so I was able to take some quality pics. First in line was “make your own cobb salad”. There was romaine lettuce, chopped beef, avocado, hard boiled eggs, bleu cheese, bacon, tomato, cucumber, shrimp, chicken, and cheese. Plus two different dressings. I ended up having a mostly bacon salad with some lettuce and other stuff. There was supposedly a red wine vinaigrette, but I think it was actually some fat-free italian dressing that wasn’t very good.

We also had some garlic mashed potatoes, which were super. I had several helpings of that. There was also some chicken breast in an orange glaze sauce. It wasn’t bad chicken, but I think it was a bit undercooked so I only had a few bites. It seemed way too pink. There was also salmon which I did not try and a grilled veggie mix with green beans, and shredded peppers and carrots. The veggies were good.

Finally there was the dessert table. There was fresh fruit and mini apple tarts. Also some bread pudding and mini chocolate cheesecakes. The fruit was fine, if you like that kind of thing, which I do. The little apple tarts were good, the pastry shell quite crunchy, perhaps too crunchy. I quite like bread pudding so I enjoyed this one. The cheesecake wasn’t bad either. I probably ate a bit too many mini desserts. Oh well!
