7.10am - omega-3 bar, after bootcamp by the beach, with Ritesh.11.05am - "Eggs Marcella" (w/ penne, prosciutto, sundried tomatoes, spinach, parmeggiano), fresh fruit salad and a fresh veggie juice from Coral Tree Cafe, outside work, with Ramin.
4.40pm - ice cream w/ M&M's, gummi bears, nuts, maraschino cherries and chocolate sauce, at work. This was an official Ice Cream Social in the Board Room with the CEO, President etc, but I snuck a picture anyway - if only with my cell phone camera.
7.20pm - shrimp fajitas, tortilla chips, salsa and a margarita, shared with Ritesh (not the margarita!) at El Cholo, with Elvira and Cynthia, discussing the relative merits of qualitative research and Hugo Chavez.
8.04pm - the last slice of Elvira's and Cynthia's quesadilla, with avocado, sour cream and mole sauce.

Comparing the merits of qualitative research with the merits of Hugo Chavez would be tricky - but I'm sure the margarita helped!

Was that ice cream with Terry?

Petra said...

well, we weren't comparing as much as discussing sequentially the two topics most dear to Elvira's heart, with Ritesh playing the devil's statistician's pro-Colombian advocate and yours truly trying to defuse.

But who's Terry?

Petra said...

oh, I get it. You're thinking MGM Mirage, right? Well, I'm on the movie side of things, not the hotel side. They are totally separate since Mr. Kerkorian is out of the picture. We've now got a Harry and a Gary running things over here...

Spot on!

(It feels slightly invasive to be checking out where you work - hope you don't mind. I just thought it was fun to follow the clue you left.)

So which clue gave it away? Pink Panther? Leo the lion? Marlon Brando? ah, it must have been the cookie...
no worries, btw, you don't strike me as the creepy stalker kind :)
