After considering the problems  Boot Hill Casino Restaurant had with their Thanksgiving dinner and the lack of leftovers, Kathie said "I want a turkey". So, of course we had a turkey, trimmings and left overs for lunch this coming week...

Dinner: left over turkey sandwiches and warmed up dressing and water; later, a gin-n-tonic (It was Christmas after all and we had not thought of buying eggnog...)

it out and wipe it out and wipe it out...

12 December 2011

Breakfast: left over spaghetti and coffee


Lunch:   Healthy Choice fish, rice, broccoli florets and apple desert and  water


Dinner:  We went to the Boot Hill Casino Restaurant and I had:

• salad
• a small bowl of potatoe soup
• an 8oz prime rib (medium)
• baked potatoe
• a roll and butter
• and split a small piece of chocolate cake with Kathie

There were some problems:

1. They ran out of the good rolls and when Kathie asked about the rolls that were supposed to come with the meal, they brought out a couple of Dillions rolls and the explanation of how they ran out; they could have brought out the good rolls when the next batch was ready but they did not.
2. We had to ask for desert as they brought the bill without bothering to ask if we wanted desert. Sadly, the service was indifferent. The best service in town is at Mirah Hills, a somewhat expensive steak place with great food and the second best is at a breakfast buffet place; they do a great job of filling coffee and water. Our waitress did not come around to refill my water glass or ask if Kathie wanted another red wine.

In the old days, they would come around and ask if we wanted desert. We went to a very, very nice place in New Jersey once and enjoyed watching the waitress come by with a large cart of sample deserts for us to chose from.  This is something that should be done locally. Our waitress did not come around to refill my water glass or ask if Kathie wanted another red wine.
