Never thought I'd miss the rubber chicken

A few years ago I impressed one of my coworkers with my amazing powers of prognostication. We were heading to a meeting at a hotel, and she was wondering what they'd be serving us for lunch.

"Chicken, rice, and green beans," I told her.

When the waiters presented the plates, she asked if I'd gotten some advance tip on the menu. "No, but I've been to lunch meetings in hotels," I said.

I had a meeting downtown today. Lunch was served. It made me miss the chicken, rice, and green beans.

Hotel meeting lunches, at least the ones I get to go to, now seem to be the deli tray and a bland pasta salad. This one was a blander-than-usual salad (tubular pasta in mayonaise with a light sprinkle of something that may have been oregano), and the bread choice was white sliced bread or white kaiser rolls.

Worse, we didn't have tables, so we had to eat with the plates balanced on our laps. Made it tricky to take notes on the lunch speaker's presentation.

They did have two kinds of cheese, though.
