June 23, 2007 - Working on Saturday.

Oh, my dear old friend, Starbucks.









Granola bar.













Oh yuck. A sandwich.









Oh yum! A hot fudge sundae!










Dinner at the cafe at the South Point casino. I just felt like reliving Thanksgiving. Oh, and salad.




















June 22, 2007 - Most things aren't better the second time around.

Bagel.









Jason's Deli soup and salad bar, with pudding.










A pile of chocolate goodness.














Leftover scampi, but I tried to doctor it up a bit. It's still blah.





June 21, 2007 - What is a Crab Pan Roast?

Breakfast: Odwalla Bar. (They were on sale.)








Granola bar snack.








Lunch at Port of Subs- cheese sandwich. Ick.









Some popcorn.








Dinner at the worst oyster bar of all time in the Sunset Station casino. Their descriptions on the menu were awful and misleading, and I had to send my food back. They said it was pan roasted crab. What is was was a crab bisque that looked like it came out of a hamburger helper box. The waitress tried to get me to eat it, but I refused. Sorry I didn't document it for you. I thought I was getting whole crab! But, here is the bread, wonderful clam chowder, okay salad, and blah shrimp scampi I ate.

June 20, 2007 - The Best Salad of the Year

Odwalla Bar, banana, and muffins. Yummy.








Grilled soy cheese sandwich from the veggie cafe.









My father-in-law is in town, and he took us to Olives. Wow. Breads with olive tapenades.









Brian and I shared this heavenly salad of artichokes and parmesan, with a risotto cake underneath. This salad way outshined our entrees.















I had a mahi mahi, with polenta, carrots, and prawns. Umm... prawns a little scary. Fish a little bland. Polenta and carrots very very good. And, I had a bite of Brian's dad's squash ravioli.









Dessert! This is the assorted cookie plate. We all shared it. I had a bite of the brownie and the fudge, but that cupcake in the back- Red Velvet Cake- had my name all over it. It was divine.








June 19, 2007 - Mexed Out

Odwalla Bar, Bagel, Fruit.









Veggie burrito for lunch....










And a chicken taco for dinner.









More of those ice cream sandwiches.

June 18, 2007 - Meals with Friends

So, yeah, two breakfasts.








Lunch at Applebee's with my coworker. Half a chicken wrap, broccoli cheese soup, and a mini brownie sundae.









Dinner at the Fiesta Cafe with another friend. Crab puffs and a few bites of this Orange Shrimp. I brought the rest home for Brian.



June 17, 2007 - Uneventful Sunday

Cereal with banana, Odwalla Bar.








Veggie meat sandwich.








Organic mushroom ravioli and salad.








Ice cream sandwich.




June 16, 2007 - Late Lunch = Dessert for Dinner

Odwalla Bar and a banana.







For lunch, Brian and I went to Metro Pizza. We each got a pizza and shared a salad and bread. Later, we ate leftovers and went for ice cream at Skoops, a new place around the corner. 2 scoop
s please!



June 15, 2007 - A whole new buffet experience.

Granola bar and trail mix.







Carrots, cherries, pear, and mac and cheese.







Brian and I tried to see a movie as part of the Las Vegas Film Festival, but the show was sold out. So, naturally, we went to the buffet instead. The funny thing about the Bistro Buffet at the Palms Hotel- they offer Mediterranean/Middle Easter n /Lebanese food. This might be because of the owners', the Maloof's, heritage.
For the first time, I got hummus, pita, and stuffed grape leaves from a buffet. Also, some peppery shrimp, egg rolls, pizza, mashed potatoes, veggies, and crab legs of course.








Dessert was a bit of a mix up. Everything was in a case, so you had to ask. I asked the woman for a few of the mini pastries, but she gave me all of the same kind at first. The white chocolate covered cream puff was wonderful. Smores bar and lemon bar. Those mocha things she gave me 3 of weren't that great. I gave one to Brian, and only ate half of the other one. Brian gave me his raspberry bar in exchange. I didn't get any coffee, but this buffet had an espresso/coffee machine so you could get your own.
