The Perfect Lunch

The National Club





Lunch




Dessert
Husband M and I were lucky enough to be invited to a wonderful business luncheon recently.  It was hosted at The National Club, which resides in a 140 year old building in the heart of the financial district in downtown Toronto.  We had to dress business casual.  A financial advisor was touting a new technology type of investment.  I honestly was mainly interested in the food although I did pay attention to the product presentation.  And I did ask what I thought was an intelligent question.  (I inquired as to whether we might be in another technology bubble as in the year 2000.  They didn't think so.)

So I had perfectly cooked medium roast beef, salmon, mushroom-shaped potatoes, salad with a fresh raspberry dressing and vegetables.  I chose an olive bread slice to go with the meal.  Then I bit into the dessert and remembered to take a photo.  I think the trend is toward bite-sized portions which is a good thing.  I really enjoyed this healthy lunch.

That is a very intelligent question! I'm sure the same answer would have been given back then. So you never know.

The food looks delicious!

We often receive invitations in the mail for lunches/diners from brokers wanting to talk about retirement investments. I'm afraid to attend, thinking there's 'no such thing as a free lunch' and I'd get so caught up in the moment I'd sign up for something I'd regret down the line.

The 2000 dot com bubble was obviously stupid. I was young enough to not really understand or notice it but companies thought if they threw away money into the internet that they would be successful.
