Had a Really Good light meal on the plane coming out of Anchorage.
It's funny - the inflight catering there beats NY, Boston, Washington
cold. (Just got off a plane at SFO from Anchorage: as we deplaned,
someone just behind me said "brrr, cold." It had been 80 in Anchorage,
and it's in the 50s here).

I had another fruit cup, but all the fruits were fresh and unblemished
- honeydew, muskmelon (not cantaloupe), red seedless grapes, and pineapple.
Bear in mind that this meal was packed in Anchorage, Alaska. Then the
usual salad with a decent balsamic vinaigrette. White rolls scented with
orange. Stir-fried fresh shiitakes and onions, a dish good enough so that
I will make it for myself sometime and count myself lucky if it comes out
as well; fresh! not mushy! noodles tossed with red, green, and yellow
peppers; fresh! steamed al dente asparagus.

The guy next to me (I dropped Sharman off in Anchorage) had a VLML,
vegetarian something meal, and it was identical except that he had
gorgonzola dressing on his salad.

For dessert they had the bad grace to offer me a hot fudge sundae
(akin to their offering you the Grandin brut - a decent bubbly, nothing
special), and I declined in favor of a peanut-butter cookie.

Now I wander off to Providence, then Phoenix, then home at last.
