My oldest friend had a heart attack and bypass surgery at age 42 he's still around at 75. I believe Dieter is in his early forties, Mosca sounds like he had a heart attack in his forties. What is it about the 40s, that's so young.

I was 37.

Habanero salsa. It’s 12 habaneros, 3 cloves of garlic, the juice from a lime, a generous pinch of salt, and enough water to get the desired consistency. It’s about as hot as… well, as hot as habaneros.







I use this stuff on everything. Mostly eggs. But I’ll also put it in soup, on cheeseburgers, whatever. This will be good for about 2 weeks, but it probably won’t last more than a few days.

I was 45.9 at the time.
My plan had always been to live fast and die young.
I missed by at least a decade.

Breakfast tostadas. I’m working on my tortilla game, I want crisp corn tortillas, and tostadas are easier than tacos right now. These look like a lot more food than they actually are; between the two of them there is half an avocado, one egg, a couple ounces of refritos, half a tomato, a couple ounces of chorizo, etc. In other words, mostly salad stuff. They came out pretty good, though.

What kind of cheese on the "BBLT"? Is that an onion roll?

Those soup mugs annoy me. (I feel the transition corner from "bottom" to "side" for a "bowl" should fairly closely match the curve of the spoon, and the diameter should be at least φ × height. But hey, your soup, your mug.)

Colby Jack. Yes, an onion roll. The soup thing comes with a lid for the microwave. I drink the liquid out of the soup first, then use the spoon to eat the solids.

Ashly has a set of those soup-things in different colours. No matter. Not my soup, not my problem. (Yes, I tell her that I don't like them, too.)

I'm still thinking about the sandwich.
(I regularly drive past a dairy that claims to be the home of Colby-Jack, but... who knows? Everybody seems to be making it these days, but almost nobody does the wax dip I remember from my youth.)

A What didn't I eat post

WTF is up with Resorts World
1st off, where is Resorts World in the WOV casino section?
Also, what a bland name
Anyway, I visited Famous Foods Street Eats when Resorts 1st opened a couple years ago and absolutely loved it
I stopped by for lunch yesterday
I had my heart set on some Chinese dumplings
I walk around, 1/2 the places not open for lunch
The dumpling place was closed
Nothing posted on when these places open
WTF
Is this now a late nite eatery?
So disappointing for a high end place
Durango's "Eat your heart out", all places open for lunch.
By the way we probably need the WOV forum casinos updated with the Durango. It's a nice place. Deserves to be listed

I wrote a general review of Resorts World Vegas when it opened, including its opening VIP party.

https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/off-topic/other-casinos/36117-resorts-world-vip-opening-june-24-2021/

The Famous Foods Street Eats has the advantage of being able to order from the kiosk, using either your player card earned value, or just pay with a credit card, and then go pick it up at the counter.

In general RW has languished a bit as far as traffic, especially on weekdays maybe why you didn't see everything open.

Of those eateries the only one I was hitting regularly, and that was before I stopped eating red meat which it has been a solid year now, was the Blood Bros Texas BBQ for their beef brisket.

I like StreetBird too.

One thing about the Asian places I didn't like was too much added salt.

What time did you go? Most of the places are open at 11am or are supposed to be.

If everything else is closed just go to the

The Famous Foods Street Eats .................

2pm in the afternoon
This place sucks
When I go to a casino, except for the dinner only high end restaurants, I expect ALL food establishments to be open. Especially a tiny dumpling place that only serves dumplings
(My Mom made the best Chinese dumplings on the planet)
Resorts World sucks
1/2 the places closed.
No sign on hours and days open. Poor customer communication in my book is poor customer service
I'm at the point in my life where all I care about in a casino is food

I love wild game, but goose hasn't been my favorite. The wild version has a lot less fat, so you don't want to make the mistake of using a recipe for domestic goose [this is true of wild game generally]. For goose, you make sure you cover with larding and probably you want to use a braising method [in other words, liquid in a pot]

I've done that, came out pretty good, but still just wasn't crazy about it like I am for most wild game.

I tried this recipe a few weeks ago, which involves braising it in sauerkraut, still larded and braised. This was the best I've had it come out and it was terrific.

With grits, btw. Oddly, didn't think grits went all that well with it. The kraut was really rich, and potatoes would have been good.
