On Saturday mornings Britt and I coach the Kitten Club and later that day we usually have a game. I look forward to both events but I must admit that another highlight of my day is having dinner (we eat at lunch time but it is called dinner since dinner food is served at that time) at the Granville Hotel. The Granville Hotel sponsors the Wildcats club and provides us with dinner on both Saturdays and Sundays. After we are done coaching, we go to the Granville Hotel to eat at their carvery, where you line up to essentially create your own meal. As for me, when I really like something I tend to stick with it until I am feeling adventurous or bored and want to try something new, so I typically stick with the same meal every time we go—I like to think of that as a testament to how good the food is. My weekly meal routine is the breaded chicken filet, mashed potatoes (they offer three types—mashed, roasted, and fries (chips)), and based on what are available, red or green cabbage, carrots, and broccoli. I initially started off using gravy to tie my meal together, especially for the mashed potatoes, but once I tried the peppered sauce (generally served with breaded chicken filet), I instantly fell in love and coined it as my favorite over the gravy. And to top off my meal, I have cheesecake for dessert.
It is comforting to be able to have a nice meal twice out of the week. It gives Britt and I time to talk and bond over a great meal. And with the hotel being located in the city center, on Sunday’s we typically like to walk around the city after our meal and indulge in the great scenery. Sundays are our day to to relax and prepare for the week ahead of us. And plus, a great meal and relaxation on Sunday feels even better after you win your game the night before!
