Casino Buffet

Today Deb and I wanted to get our gamble on, so we headed out to Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, Michigan.  It is an hour and a half drive from home.

For breakfast I heated up the last of the Apple supreme I had left.

While at the casino we saw that the buffet lunch price lasted until 3:30 then dinner prices kicked in at 4PM (no-one allowed in during that 30 minute window).  Lunch was $22, dinner was $34.   The reason for the BIG price jump is that Saturday night they have seafood.  Crab legs, lots of fried fishes and sushi.  None of this was important to me, but Deb had a taste for crab legs.    I was STARVING around 2:30, so I went and got Deb and we made it to the buffet around 2:45.

I had first asked if I could do a "fly by" of the buffet to see if there was anything I would be able to ear.  Turns out there was a TON.

I started with this plate


from top to bottom,  banana peppers, jalapeño peppers, peppercino, mushrooms, red and green peppers, green beans, asparagus, mexican beans and a jalapeño popper.

Plate 2 was


Veggie spring rolls, carrots, sweet potato, bok choi, some asian noodle, jalapeño corn bread, corn

dessert was a salad (which I only ate about half of)

pineapples, cucumbers, melon, romaine with olives, sesame seeds, balsamic dressing, broccoli and oranges.

So I had a lot of food.  2 unpictured items  Baklava (it is a weakness of mine) pretzel roll (this was the MOST amazing pretzel roll I have ever had) Thankfully I was sooooo full or I would have eaten more.
Iced tea was my drink.

So I think I did a good job of eating lots of different foods, without being too bad.

We did stay at the buffet long enough for Deb to get her crab legs.  (she said they were good)

So our lunch was almost 2 hours, but it allowed me to eat slowly and eat enough that I did not have to eat anything else tonight for dinner.
