Recipes For Life

I'd have a longer attention span, if there weren't so many shiny things.


Yesterday, I had lunch at the French Market Buffet at the Orleans Hotel in Las Vegas. It was free, free is free. The brisket was tough, and the homemade pistachio ice cream was not homemade, nor did it have any pistachios in it. But free is free.


For happy hour I met 3 of my girlfriends at Sedona IV in Las Vegas. Finally we have found a bar/restaurant that wants middle-aged women and their money. We have had many experiences (my girlfriends and I) at happy hours that don't mind 3 or 4 middle aged women in their bar, but never a dozen. We change the tone of the bar/restaurant. They become no longer young and hip-specifically Rhythm Kitchen of Las Vegas, owned by Scott Ghormley. He made it very clear to us that our business was not welcome. Onto happier things, Sedona IV at Flamingo and 215, welcomed us with open arms. We had a pleasant happy hour with drinks and food. A limited menu for happy hour, but they invited us to join their Loyalty Rewards program and next time we come, we each have $20 to spend on food and drink.


I'm in Milwaukee tonight, getting ready for my trip tomorrow. For dinner tonight I had homemade chicken salad with tortilla chips. Originally this recipe came from Susan Hinton, but once you change it, the recipe becomes yours.

Homemade Chicken Salad: 2 chicken breasts, de-boned and ground up with my handy dandy food chopper, 1/4 cup chopped finely onions (I like them really ground up, so again my food chopper, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1/4 cup shredded cheese. I use whatever is handy-this time colby/monterey jack. Blend this all together and serve with tortilla chips. I have never baked this, but I bet you it would be good.


Did you know: "Seedless" in the citrus trade, doesn't mean there are no seeds, but that there are five seeds or fewer per lemon, orange or grapefruit.
