On workshop (delivered) meals

We had a virtual workshop spread over three mornings la couple of weeks ago. While we were not expecting any meals delivered to our homes and the office (some of those who attended opted to go to the office to get stable internet connection), some were jokingly thanking the administrators and support staff for lunch, especially as some sessions spilled beyong 12:00 noon. On the last day though, we were surprised with the delivery of very generous lunches at our homes. In my case, it took some effort since I live far from the office. More so when I saw the boxes from Alba, the popular Spanish restaurant.

A pleasant surprise when I came down from the study was a couple of boxes tied in a white ribbon.

One box was labeled Combinado de Mariscos (combined seafood) and the other was Paella Valenciana.

The Combinado de Mariscos is the one above. The Paella Valenciana is the one below.

The nearest Alba to our home is the one at Capitol Commons. I assume the staff ordered from there. I am not sure others had the same lunch boxes though as the staff probably knows what people preferred to have delivered to them. The food was definitely for sharing unless one's a glutton so we had a nice lunch for the family that Friday.
