I'm going to put that on my list of summer dinner ideas.

There was food all day long at this event.

Breakfast: muffins, melon and strawberries, croissants, bagels, eggs

Lunch was a buffet, and I can only remember what I had, which was lightly breaded fish. I don't know what kind of fish it was, but the breading had herbs and flecks of pepper. Some type of Asian beef. Chicken, which I can't recall how they fixed. Some type of orzo shrimp dish, which was my overall favorite.

They had a stunning salad bar, but I didn't have a tossed salad since I have that every day at home, and not only that, there's no way theirs could be as fresh as mine, which I cut straight out of the garden. But my colleagues had some, and I must admit it looked fantastic.

The dessert bar offered very light desserts, which I thought interesting. I had a small lemon tarte with a strawberry on it. Also a chocolate mousse in an edible cup.

After lunch we went back to our conference, but in no time at all, thy were serving afternoon snacks! I didn't have any, but on my way out I saw these mozzarella/red pepper/tomato skewers that I wish I'd had.

Anyway, good conference, excellent food; had a great time. Work on this project starts in a couple weeks. It's the perfect summer job; I just have to hang around with college students in the evenings while they write. If they need help, I help them. It's the most stress-free, easy, peaceful job I've ever had.
