So yesterday, my shop manager informed us of a dinner with a lecture/presentation related to our shop...so I decided to go.
It was a very formal dinner type thing, not my forte. They started out with free drinks, of course, as a non-alcoholic I took ginger ale...but everyone and their brother was sporting a green glass bottle. There was 8 of us at a round table with a table cloth about as long as a bridal gown thing and everytime I got out from it I thought my foot was going to catch and create an avalanche of expensive glass dishes. Thankfully it didn't.
The 'appetizer' was this egg, spinach, bacon bit and mushroom salad with a dressing on top. At first I wasn't sure about it, I don't like hard-boiled eggs, nor mushrooms (EVER!), spinach is average and I do love bacon...however I wolfed it down and must say...liked it a lot. The meal consisted of stuffed chicken (AMAZING), crab cakes, green beans, bread and some noodle cheese wrap thing. It was all very good. Coffee as well. The speaker might as well have spoken in Latin, not to say he wasn't good...I just wasn't really sure as to what he was talking about exactly. I've only been at this 8 weeks...my understanding of my probable future trade isn't exactly large.
Free food, It was worth it.
