I know you're salivating for pictures of our casino lunch. Right? Some unhealthy food, from an unhealthy place, free for the looking, just a virtual taste.
Hick again went for an Oreo dessert. This time, it looked like actual pie, and not like cheesecake.
I...snatched the container (possibly a future clear plastic purse to carry leftovers!) and snapped a picture while Hick was in the bathroom. Thus the full slice, nothing nibbled yet. It looks pretty good, but Hick never offers anyone a taste of his food. Here's the piece he had two weeks ago, for comparison.
The Pony decided (in line after disinfecting our hands at the spray station) that he wasn't really hungry. I asked if he wanted to sit down and have a soda. Or a snack. He did not. Then he read over my head that they had CORN DOGS again. He'd missed that trip. So he decided that he could probably eat a foot-long corn dog. Oh, and once he saw that they offered a pair of fried pies, his appetite further improved!
Yes, The Pony's corn dog was almost as slim as the one I had. He drizzled it with ketchup and mustard after the photo op. His fried pies are cooling in the background.
The Pony chose the apple pies. They came in a serving of two. The other choice was strawberry cream cheese, I think. These little pies have more powdered sugar than the entire funnel cake Hick and I ordered during the FAIR FOOD month.
The Pony let me have the broken-off end. It was flaky and tasty.
Hick and I both chose the pulled pork sandwich special for our meal. He had curly fries.
It came on two slices of Texas Toast. As you can see, Hick's pie is gone!
There's my pulled pork sandwich, with tater tots. Not enough BBQ sauce for my liking! I shared my Texas Toast with The Pony. Because he asked. I didn't mind. I was just a bit startled, you know, with him not really being hungry!
Are you full now? Have your eyes feasted enough? Don't worry, there are no calories applying themselves to your hips.
Val eats casino food for your pleasure. And your waistline!
Now I am starving, mean post my friend.
ReplyDeleteWell, I was only doing you a favor! As Hick says, when he makes my life more difficult.
DeleteNow, where is that food that does not add to hips or waistline?
ReplyDeleteRight there in the pictures, unless you've eaten your computer monitor/laptop/tablet/phone that you read it on!
DeleteCan you believe I have never had a corn dog? I think I will keep it that way. The fried pie does look real good!
ReplyDeleteHave you never gone to a carnival or fair? How could you never have a corn dog??? Even Sonic, the fast-food chain, has corn dogs!
DeleteAnd where were the vegetables?
ReplyDeleteCorn is a vegetable and fries are made from potatoes, also a vegetable. I do note a lack of salad though.
DeleteDon't forget the ketchup we added, which was considered a vegetable for school lunch purposes!
DeleteNobody goes to a casino to eat salad! They had them already prepared, in big clear plastic containers along the counter. I think one time the ex-mayor had a salad while my sister his wife and I feasted on Garbage Nachos. Which is a big pile of tortilla chips and Doritos, covered with that canned nacho cheese, topped with black olives and salsa and sour cream. Perhaps there were a couple strands of shredded lettuce in there for OUR vegetable...
DeleteOh there are plenty of calories applying themselves to my hips, but they're from the chocolate I am currently eating as I type this.
ReplyDeleteThe fried pies look like the apple pies we get at McDonalds here, not that I've had one since long before I retired. I found the apple filling too gluey, although tasty enough.
What exactly is a corn dog? Is it a hot dog with a crumbed corn coating?
These fried pies were much more tender than the McDonald's fried pie I tried 35 years ago.
DeleteThe corn dog is a hot dog on a stick, dipped in a cornbread-type batter, and fried in oil until crispy on the outside, and bready on the inside. It's a little sweeter batter than plain cornbread. They are usually shorter and fatter than this foot-long example.
