BOOYAH! Oh, how I love 8am meetings. Especially when I don’t have to actually be in them. Today I sauntered in around 9:35 (which is early) and as I passed my local conference room, I saw this lovely spread calling my name. Best part, there was no one in the room, so I was able to avoid that awkward moment like “yeah, I’m taking your meeting food…wait, can I?”
As you can see there is quite a variety of free food here. Yogurt, granola, fruit, baked goods, OJ, Water with ice in it, And off camera there is a pot a fresh coffee. Now when confronted with a buffet like this, I want to pull a maneuver like Vince Vaughn did in Wedding crashers and pile my plate high, topping it off with maple syrup. But, there are other free foodies in the office, and I am not an animal. So, I took a respectable amount including one cup of steamy hot coffee, one scoop of fruit, and that sexy blueberry muffin touching the silver tongs.
I dug into the fruit first and have to rate it 2 out of 5 plastic forks because, as usual with a community fruit salad there was too much damn melon.
The muffin tasted like it was packed with preservatives and should be in a clear plastic wrap on a shelf at the 7-11. Because I like a horrible excuse for a muffin, I rate this blueberry muffin 3.5 out of 5 plastic forks.
The coffee is Peets. I hate Peets. But free Peets is tolerable. So I give this burnt, black liquid that calls itself coffee 1.5 out of 5 plastic forks.
One last thing. When I took a bite of muffin and quickly followed it with a swig of the coffee I got the distinct taste of Hot Dog water. You know, the water that you have after you boil hot dogs in it. Yeah imagine drinking it. That’s what I got. Because I enjoy a good Hot Dog, I rate the Coffee/Muffin hot dog flavor a generous 2.5 out of 5 plastic forks. Hey, It’s better than Peets.
