We went to an out of town wedding this weekend. I was looking forward to some really good food, but was sadly disappointed. The first night we went out with a group of my husband's family to a supposedly very good restaurant - spent $80.00 on just my husband and myself. I had a salad with raspberry vinagrette, I could barely taste the dressing. Then a slab of walnut crusted salmon with a raspberry sauce. It was too much and pretty bland, so I didn't finish it. Then I had their flourless chocolate brownie. I ate it all, but it was surely not worth the calories. Yuck. It was oily. Whoever heard of an oily brownie?

The next evening was the wedding in which they had a full sit-down dinner at the reception. There was a pecan crusted snapper dregged in flour before grilling so I couldn't eat that. Couldn't eat the bread. Had a green salad with...raspberry vinagrette (what's up with the raspberry weekend?). It was decent. They also had grilled chicken with a BBQ sauce. That was gluten-free so I ate a little of it. Chicken was dry, sauce was so-so. Served with snow peas, which were done nicely. I really wanted that butter that came with the bread, so I put it on my peas. No wedding cake, of course, but I was assured by my husband and some other cousins that I wasn't missing anything 'cause the cake wasn't very good. They didn't even finish their pieces.

I went back to the hotel and ate a pack of peanut M&M's as a consolation prize.
