Now that you're awakening from your Christmas Dinner leftovers food coma, I see fit to share pictures of our last casino trip meal! It was way back on December 22, when I still thought all my packages would arrive on time.
The casino had a special meal that week! Of course Hick was the only one brave enough to try it.
That's Smoked Prime Rib topped with Bordelaise, Green Bean Casserole, Scalloped Potatoes, Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Tasso Ham, and a Buttered Croissant. All for $12.50. Heh, heh! I took that description right off their advertisement. Hick declared this meal delicious, and asked for an actual takeout container, and ate leftovers for two days. He must have been full from the cake he ate first:
It was injected with some kind of molten lava. He'd already started excavating it by the time I returned from the bathroom to get a picture!
The Pony was not very hungry. Nor adventurous. He had a hot dog.
Yes. The Pony is one of those creatures who put KETCHUP on a hot dog!
I was also feeling adventurous, but not Prime Rib adventurous. I opted for a new creation, the name of which escapes me. Some kind of Pulled Pork Potato Mojo Something-or-Other.
That was pulled pork with BBQ sauce, over a bed of batter-fried potato discs covered with nacho cheese. It was much tastier than it looks. I was full before finishing, even with no dessert first.
That's a side view, to show the potatoes in their glory. They were crispy and delectable. Not so much, upon rewarming for two days at home to finish them off.
I have a feeling the restaurant people at this casino take their leftover quantities and make them into a new "special." Which makes me leery of the Garbage Nachos on their menu!
Anyhoo... we left there stuffed, with meals to carry us over until Friday's Christmas Dinner. Except for The Pony. Who went to Steak N Shake.
Tomorrow, the gambling results...
Fine casino cuisine! I've heard of catsup on a hot dog, I thought it was a myth much like catsup on scrambled eggs.
ReplyDeleteIf I put catsup in a dirty water cocktail it would be a NJ bloody Mary.
My grandpa put SALSA on scrambled eggs. No thank you! Same as I said to the jar of pickled pigs' feet he kept on the top shelf of his refrigerator.
DeleteYour NJ Catsup Bloody Mary would still be tricking you into believing alcohol was an ingredient!
That looks better than casino food, more like cruise ship fare. Allof our steak N Shales closed. you are lucky.
ReplyDeleteI imagine cruise ship fare would be served on something more substantial than cardboard and waxed paper.
DeleteThe Pony says the Steak N Shake over in Bill-Paying Town even allows INSIDE DINING! He goes about once every two weeks. I'm sad that the Wendy's nearby closed many years ago. I haven't quite recovered from missing those square burgers and the Frosty dessert.
What is that pile of yellow on Hick's plate? Is that the scalloped potatoes? Why are they so yellow? I thought is might be a serve of creamed corn. I'm glad your meal was more delicious than it looks. I also put tomato sauce on a hot dog, right next to the mustard stripe.
ReplyDeleteYes, Hick's scalloped potatoes had lots of cheese. I ate most of the pulled pork off my meal, a couple of potatoes, and saved the rest for two more meals at home over the next couple days.
DeleteHot dogs should have MUSTARD! Alone. Not even relish! Maybe some diced onions.
If I have dessert, I prefer it first. I put mustard and Miracle Whip on my hotdog.
ReplyDeleteI have no issues with Hick eating his dessert FIRST, only that he didn't wait for me to get a picture of it whole before he dug in!
DeleteI forgot, I DO like mayo on a hot dog. But not Miracle Whip. It's like the Coke/Pepsi issue. You like one or the other better.
Mayo on a hot dog? I think my taste buds might cry.
ReplyDeleteWell then, they will provide a tasty beverage for mayo-hot-dog eaters to wash down their treat!
