I Will Never Eat Again---ha!


Was it only a couple of days ago we spent Thanksgiving Day afternoon at the Isle Casino? Seems like weeks ago!

Allen and Philip picked me up at 1 PM and off we went to the casino. I was very surprised when we got to the buffet restaurant as last year we had to wait almost 2 hours and this year we went right in! Didn’t even have time to lose money before we went it.

You might want to look at the slideshow as you read this--can you do both at the same time?--but I think you will know what I am referring to here as you look at the pictures.

Pictures 1, 2, 4, 10 and 11 are pictures of the buffet, people, food and slot machines. When I was taking picture #3 the chef jumped in front with a big smile so how could I tell him to get out of the way of the food?!

Pictures 5 and 6 are of some of the foods I remember eating: 3 different kinds of pizza, chicken wings, prime ribs, bbq ribs, fried shrimp, pork, rice, seafood salad, more ribs, etc. I didn’t have any of the turkey and trimmings because I had a turkey and trimmings cooking in my crockpot at home for the rest of the week!

Picture 7 is of some of the desserts they have and if you look at picture 8, right side, you will see a plate missing and now if you look at picture 9 on the right you will see the missing plate--it’s a slice of carrot cake sitting in front of me!!! Isn’t that amazing/surprising? Oh yes, there are a few of the other desserts I had plus I forgot to take a picture of the ice cream.

The important picture is number 12--that is the machine I played and penny machine or not I walked out with $7.60, including my meal paid for, ahead for the day!

All in all it was a nice pleasant way to spend Thanksgiving Day. Why don’t you join us next year?

Way to go, Martin! The casino buffets here had a time where the desserts included little puddings in plastic cups that were smaller than that one in your picture. They were popular and we have a stack of those cups that Mr. YouKnow brought home and washed because he didn't want to waste them. One of them used to serve the best nut bars, but when the recession came they stopped, and I have been looking for the recipe ever since.

It has sort of become a tradition--this is the 7th year in a row we have gone to the casino for Thanksgiving dinner!

What was the thing that looks like a pot pie with browned cream (or something) on top?

The dessert plate on the left? In the cup is Los trios leches and in front of it a lemon tart.
