Breakfast: oatmeal and coffee

 

Lunch: one and a half Rubens, potatoe chips and a bottle of Diet Pepsi

 

Dinner: boiled/stewed chicken with Ramon and two type of home made bread. I had water with dinner and a gin-n-tonic afterwards. Desert was orange sherbet with chocolate topping.

 

The two types of bread:

1. "French" bread made from a can of dough
2. I made some home made "cheese" by mixing 2 cups of 2% milk with about a tablespoon of vinegar. I strained the solid stuff out and mixed a teaspoon of sugar in the liquid. Then, I added 2 cups of flour and stirred it. This was still too wet so I added more flour and stirred it till it was still too moist. I then baked it at 350°F for about 40 minutes. It turned out well...

22 October 2012

Breakfast: cheerios and coffee

 

Lunch: bag of popcorn and later, a bierock and some pudding.

 

Dinner: not fully boiled noodles and a can of tomato sauce (as homemade "spaghetti" goes, this was really bad!) We then went to a "cooking with diabetes" seminar and I had a small amount of "good for me" food, which was actually quite good. When I got home, I had a grape jelly on a single slice of sour dough bread "sandwich" and went to bed.

21 October 2012

Breakfast: the same food as yesterday. We decided that free at the hotel was better that paying at Montana Mikes. We still liked the food...

 

Lunch: We drove to Wichita, Kansas and went to Olive Garden. The hoity-toity look down on Olive Garden, probably because they live in cities with much better "Italian". Well, living in southwest Kaunas, we can go to Napolias, at the Garden City airport for great "Italian" or we can make the five hour round trip to Wichita and eat at Olive Garden. We choice to eat there several times a year because it simply is the #2 Italian restaurant in central or western Kansas. The hoity-toity (defined as "assuming airs or pretentious or haughty"), who don't like "the Olive Garden" simply don't have the right perspective!

 

I had:

• salad and bread sticks
• spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs
• an absolutely sinful chocolate cake desert
• a couple of glasses of "Diet Pepsi, no ice please"

The food was excellent, and the service very good.

 

Dinner: back home and I went all out and had Ramon noodles with a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich. Who says I ain't the gourmet (or is it gourmand)?

Comments on the Boot Hill Casino Restaurant and my initial report on it.

We had an obvious college kid for a waiter; I doubt we'll see him back there the next time we go.

The on tap beer selection sucked and consisted of "light", "lite", "light", "lite", something non-"light" that I don't like and "Michelob piss" -er- "Ultra".  

My wife asked "do you have Michelob in the bottle?"

"Yes, we do."

That sounded too good to be true so I asked "Is that Mic Ultra?"

The waiter gave me a "dud, no shit" look and said "yes".

I replied "I can't stand 'Ultra' and like Michelob Lager." "We don't have that."

I ordered a Bud. Later, I walked over and asked the bar tender if the other bar had "LandShark".  She said they had just replaced it with a pumpkin beer. I didn't try it; I would have drank a "LandShark" on tap.

The hot dog stand was gone.
