Far and Away, an Expensive Lunch

Hick took The Pony and me to the casino on Wednesday. It was The Pony's day off, and Hick had business down in Casino Town with his pawn shop provider of certain merchandise for his SUS2 (Storage Unit Store 2). We hadn't been to the casino since July, and were all ready to win our fortunes.

Well. That didn't exactly happen. We all lost money, but at least had a good lunch. Considering our losses, and that we drove 90 miles to get there, it was kind of an expensive long way to go for lunch! Still, what else do we have to do? Work. Scratch lottery tickets. Build a new storage unit store.

Hick had his regular cheeseburger and onion rings:

Yes, I wish I had a picture of the inside of that burger, but I was lucky to stop Hick from eating it long enough to get this picture. He said it was really good, but that's no surprise, as he always enjoys his burger.

The Pony chose the salad with grilled chicken, same as last time:

It looked great! But if I had gotten a salad, it would have taken me an extra half hour to eat it. I'm always the last one finished anyway, no matter what I order. The Pony picked out the cucumbers, which I would have done also. The grilled chicken looked especially good this day.

After all my griping two casino trips ago, and finally getting my grilled chicken wrap last time... I chose to have the grilled chicken sandwich this time. It pleased me more than the wrap.

You might notice that they are now serving the meals on PLATES, rather than the cardboard square bowls of the past. Must be because their newly-built hotel is open now, and they want to impress the people who are paying a fortune to stay in it! 

I gave The Pony half of my tater tots, as was the plan all along. I normally ask for my sandwich without lettuce, but decided to try it this time. I should have listened to The Pony, who warned me that the sandwich came with leaf lettuce. Not my thing. I like a crispy lettuce, such as romaine hearts, or even iceberg. It was an easy fix.

You can see my lettuce lying peacefully upon a napkin in the background. My sandwich came with BACON, and provolone cheese, tomato, onion, and pickles. It was advertised with comeback sauce, but there was barely a thin squiggle of it on my top bun. That's the only thing that would have made it better, the moisture from the comeback sauce. I'll probably order this again, because it was quite tasty.

So, Thevictorians went out to lunch. While we didn't lose our shirts in the casino, we each lost a couple of sleeves. Now we start fortifying our casino bankrolls for the next trip.
