Vegas Bloat - The Blarg!

Of course, once you find it, you have to pay for it. $35.12, counting the $5 tip.

I forgot to start collecting this information till my second plate, but that one was just some pasta. I started out with some pumpkin ravioli (good), penne (so-so), shrimp tortellini in pesto (okay), and chicken pasta (blargh).


Anyway, plate #2 contained a few new potatoes (bland), chicken noodle soup (bad), Chinese sausage fried rice (okay), and teriyaki salmon (delicious). The salmon (pronounced: "sal" + "mond") was really tasty and had the distinction of being the first thing I ate all of.


Now, properly warmed up, I went for the gusto. I got some chicken Wellington (good), free range turkey breast (bland), buffalo sirloin (not bad, but I'm a wimp and got it medium well so it was a little dry), mashed potatoes (with requisite gravy, good), buttered carrots (good), and bread (also good). However, plate 3 just wasn't stacking up so...


In comes plate #3B (which made the previously named plate #3A). Prime rib, a single oven baked potato, and some sauces. The prime rib was really good, and the mustard grain sauce was nummy.


The horseradish (and a bit of the mustard sauce) was the only survivor of the devastation, proving it supreme.


Then there came desert. It started off with a nice apple cobbler, pecan bread pudding thing, and some vanilla ice cream. None of it was bad, but it wasn't stellar, either.


The cobblers were joined by a piece of carrot cake that was okay, but a little odd. It tasted like it had tangerines in it.


I took a breather and then went back for more. There was a bit of cheesecake, a cream puff, and some chocolate mouse with raspberry sauce. The mouse was my favorite of all the deserts and was quite nummy.


After I was done, I... umm... made some raspberry boobs. Don't ask.



And so ended the adventure. After that, I got to walk quite a ways to the bus stop. Blarg!
