Dinner
Filet mignon with chunky barbecue sauce, green beans with onions, garlic and herb mashed potatoes, Parker-house roll/butter, fruit bowl with grapes and melon. Warm chocolate-chip cookies and after-dinner drinks followed the meal.

Red wine, ice-water. Coffee and Bailey's after dinner.

The long-absent hot meal returns to United's "mid-con" flights - a great surprise! The steak was delicious and perfectly-cooked. Yes, this looks a bit strange with a fruit bowl instead of a salad, but it's a huge improvement over the chef salad/deli plate served on this route in the recent past. This flight was VERY turbulent (I regretted the coffee and Bailey's since I almost ended up wearing it as it splashed around) and the crew really hustled to feed all 24 of us while they weren't strapped in on the captain's orders.
