Stuffed

Wow, you really can get a good steak in Grenada. And chicken, shrimp, fish, rice, steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, and mixed salad. Oh yeah and chocolate and raspberry cheesecake. Despite being buffet style, tonight I had some of the best food in Grenada. The steak was a nice cut and still pink on the inside (not overcooked, which often happens with buffets.) The chicken was super-tender/moist and covered with a delicious sauce. Shrimp was great, as well as all the side dishes. I actually ate the steamed vegetables since they were perfectly steamed - not all soggy, which is what happens when I try and cook. A nice Pinot Grigio to complement everything. And the best part? It was all free.
The bad news is I will not likely be able to go back to this restaurant.
As an end-of-term dinner celebration/thank you for all the work done during this difficult term, all RA's were invited to the University Club. A few years ago SGU bought one of the local hotels and converted it to a private club for faculty and staff. Needless to say, they made it nice. It is rumored to have the best restaurant on the island, which I agree with now. It also has the nicest accommodations (these are used to house visiting faculty). Unfortunately, students are not allowed on the grounds (restaurant included) without a faculty/staff member in accompaniment. This is because no cash is accepted for payment - all bills are charged directly to the individual professor's account, and deducted from their paycheck. Hence, not many students have the opportunity to dine at the Club.
Well, hopefully again for next term's RA dinner. Though to be honest, free food in any form is good. (Watch, next year's RA dinner will be at Glover's or Pearl's [the on-campus "bistro" and student cafeteria].)
