Angels enjoy a Parisian meal

For the Angel Society's annual luncheon, May 16, the catering staff of Pala Mesa Resort put together a two-choice menu to fit the group's theme, "Angels in Paris, Ooh, La, La!"

The regular catering menu offers lots of themed options for breakfast, lunch or dinner, from The Baja and The Carlsbad breakfast buffets to the Pacific Rim (Hawaiian), Roman Holiday and Cosmopolitan dinner buffets. Plated meals like the menu for the luncheon are also available.

The Angel Society picked two plated choices for its guests, Parisian Chicken and Portobello Napoleon as the vegetarian option. The chicken was oven roasted with a lemon herb butter sauce, couscous and broccolini with a balsamic glaze.

Some of the ladies thought the chicken was a little dry but mine was delicious. I especially liked the couscous which was moist and almost creamy. More vegetables would have been nice but, with the included roll, it was a satisfying lunch

Three of the ladies at my table, eight total, ordered the vegetarian plate which consisted of a portobello mushroom layered with grilled zucchini, squash, red bell pepper and tofu, also with a balsamic glaze and a side of couscous.

The charred mushroom did not look appetizing but cut in half to show the layers, the dish looked much better and the ladies enjoyed it. To top off the meal, Double Chocolate Mousse Cake was served with dessert. Not too sweet, with a light chocolate flavor, it was an excellent way to end the meal.

Lemonade, iced tea, coffee and hot tea were available and the group provided wine for those who wanted it. An attentive wait staff was right there to make sure everyone had what they wanted without interfering with the event. So, Pala Mesa Resort is a great place to hold large gatherings, no matter the theme.
