We’re still on the pork circuit. We finally had chicken at a few Kiwonary meetings. One club served large pasta shells filled with stuffing and diced chicken. I should’ve kept count of green beans, too. At least every third meal has included canned green beans.
We’ve been to three clubs that assured us we wouldn’t have a better meal at any other meeting this year. They were wonderful home-cooked meals, like Sunday dinner at Grandma’s. Slow cooked pot roast, roasted potatoes, those ubiquitous green beans, and salad. Yummy. Those meals were made by little old church ladies who have been feeding Kiwonarians since before women were permitted to join.
Most clubs have buffets with several choices. Buffets are really helpful, especially for luncheon meetings. We don’t want to eat too much or anything heavy. It also means I can work around my food allergies/preferences without hurting anyone’s feelings.
All but one club has served dessert. Boo, them! Dessert is like bacon, it makes everything better.
We stopped for fast food after one meeting. Our absolute worst meal of the last year was made without a stove or refrigerator. MyDG and I laughed that we would have eaten better while camping. The meal was a small (canned) chicken salad sandwich, pickle spear, baked beans, potato chips, and canned pudding. It was the first time I’ve eaten baked beans straight from the can at room temperature. We thought everyone ‘doctored’ baked beans with onions, ketchup, bbq sauce, bacon, anything. We were starving by the time we left. Thankfully, bad food at a Kiwonary meeting is rare.
