Excellent Mojito at the Hard Rock Cafe

Las Vegas may be the stupidest town in America. Nothing is real and every public location wants to be a representation of some other place. You can be in Paris and step across the street into New York or Hollywood. Down the street is Egypt and Venice and ancient Rome. Yet there is history here: […]

Comfort food on rainy days

May 23, 24, 25 and 26 It’s been raining solid for the past two days. We stay overnight in Shelby, Montana. Not much to report, but we’re impressed with the tourist information centre.

It's a first for me -- biscuits and gravy!

We depart Vegas on May 17 and head north overnighting in an RV campground in Beaver Utah (at over 6,000 ft above sea level). It's late and we're hungry, so I fix up a quinoa jambolaya -- not bad for a one pot camping dish. How can you go wrong with lots of sauteed onions, […]

A Stunning View of the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam

Yes, even a blog about food can sometimes substitute gorgeous scenery for gorgeous food and so it is for today. Jon and I flew out on a 19-seater de Havilland plane for a tour of the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. Once I got over my nervousness, I let the scenery take over and it […]

To Vegas – for the food and entertainment (forget the casinos)

We arrive – I’ve been here before for a special events conference and this is Jon’s first experience with Las Vegas. We first find excellent RV accommodations at the Oasis RV campground at the south end of Las Vegas Blvd (complete with 2 pools!) and then we head into to town. We walk the strip […]
