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

• a small cup of veggie soup
• a "classic" roast beef, potatoes, carrots and onions dinner with basically raw cauliflower and broccoli. I drank iced water.
• We split a slice of chocolate for desert. Our waitress put two scoops of vanilla ice creamme on the plate and that went down well.  

 The food was good and the service well above average.

13 November 2012

Breakfast: from Burger King:

• SOS on biscuits
• potatoe disks
• coffee

Lunch: from Pizza Hut for pizza and salad and desert.

 

I had to complain to get them to bring out meat only pizza but when they did, they told me!

 

We had initially gone to the Boot Hill Casino Restaurant but discovered they stopped serving lunch 2 weeks ago. We were offered the chance to "dine" at the snack bar but said "no" and went to Pizza Hut.

 

Clearly, the Casino is raking in the bucks but they insist the bars and restaurant be self supporting. This is foolish; I am not much of a gambler but I am an eater of good food. By cutting back on the good bar (i.e. not providing LandShark on tap) and cutting out the lunch buffet, they are falling back on the pure gamblers. I like a decent meal before losing money in the slots; Kathie would rather "pull the lever" but gets tired of this when I sit next to her looking bored (having blown thru my $5 to $10...)

 

I guess the Casino is trimming back the number of potential customers!

 

Dinner: at home where I had Roman with two hot dogs and an ear of corn on the cob and drank cold water.

12 November 2012

Breakfast: cherios and coffee

Lunch:  King's Buffet for chicken, beef, rice and desert andtwo gblasses of "Diet Pepsi"

Dinner: Boot Hill Casino for

• salad
• small amount of beef veggie soup
• most of a rib eye steak
• baked potatoe
• roll and butter
• some tapioka
• iced watter

The food was fine and the service good.  The only place they serve LandShark Lager is in the saloon but the saloon is only open Friday and Saturday evenings., What is the point of having such a saloon with such limited hours? Apparently, they don't have enough drinkers to support a saloon but enough for the little bar that is typically open,.

9 November 2012.

This is the glass of "Diet Pepsi, No Ice". That can/'t be a glass full of ice! What appears to be ice must be an optical illusion!

Yup, that does look like ice...

Breakfast: cheerios and coffee

Lunch: at Casa Alveraz, where I had:

• "Mexican" meatball soup
• a plate with a taco, an enclalata, rice and refried beans
• chips and sausa
• sopahilla for desert
• 2 glasses of "Diet Pepsi, no ice"

The food came before the soup and I had to ask for the soup.

I ordered the cheaper of the two deserts, expecting to get simple pastry. Instead, I was given the more expensive of the two, which had ice creamme and strawberries. Truth be told, that was what I really wanted but it was not what I ordered...

I complained to the checkout clerk and she simply sighed. I said "he is the owner?" She replied "yes".  I then said "he should leave the serving to the waitress". She smiled in agreement...

Dinner: Hungry-Man "Boneless Fried Chicken" with "Tender chicken patties with home-style mashed potatoes and sweet corn - includes a chocolate brownie" and iced water

8 November 2012

Breakfast: two English muffins with peanut butter and grape jelly and coffee

 

Lunch: at Casey's Cowtown: French dip, fries and iced water

 

Snack: homemade chocolate pudding made with

• a cup of 2% milk,
• some dark chocolate,
• about a teaspoon of baking chocolate,
• two tablespoons of corn starch

Cook over low heat and stir a lot...

 

It tasted fine but I think it screwed up my blood sugar as I felt somewhat ill for a couple of hours afterwards.

 

Dinner: A fine homemade meal of:

• left over stewed stew meat from last night
• 2 ears of corn on the cob
• broccoli
• iced water

The lack of rice tonight may have been the difference between 201 last night and 110 tonight. White rice supposedly has a glycemic index of 64 ± 7, This is in the upper "medium" range from lower "high" (avoid) range. Coucous is just as bad. Converted white rice (Uncle Ben's) is only 38! I guess I'll have to get me some of that! Brown rice, the stuff that is supposed to be better for me, is 55±5!

Breakfast: a tuna sandwich and a half peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich with coffee

Lunch: at one of the two Olive Gardens in Wichita:

• salad and bread sticks
• spaghetti with meat sauce and meat balls
• two glasses of "Diet Coke"

We went to the Maize Road Olive Garden rather than "our usual", the Rock Road Olive Garden. I had more sauce and must of gotten a couple of extra meat balls. I was quite full at the end of the meal and had no desire for desert. It is quite different when we eat at the Rock Road Olive Garden. I'm still hungry after spaghetti and have room for desert...

 

Dinner: We went to Red Lobster in Wichita and I had:

• salad
• those biscuits
• fish and chips
• split a desert with Kathie (liquid fudge stuffed chocolate chip cookie with a very small scoop of ice creamme)
• Diet Coke

We got back to the hotel and I had a gin-n-tonic. I kept burping up crap most of the night so I guess the fish was greasier than I had hoped for; I'll have broiled fish the next time we go there...

 

However, I rather like the fish Kathie cooks better than what we get in restaurants.
