Las Vegas, food edition

Our first morning in Vegas we had breakfast at the Paris buffet. The food was really yummy.
We ate a lot of great food in Vegas. On the night we saw KA we ate at Mon Ami Gabi with Brandon and Tashina. The atmosphere was awesome, the view was amazing, and the food was delicious! Tashina and I ordered the lemon chicken and Colin and Brandon had the fillet. We added a few sides and enjoyed the view of the Bellagio fountains as we dined. It was a great time.

This is me trying to show the view of the fountains from our dining table.


The fillet.



The chicken.



The first night in Vegas we went out to eat later than planned and had a hard time finding a seat. We were hoping to go to Mon Ami Gabi but there was an hour and 45 minute wait for a table. We walked over to the Cesar's and tried to get a table at Mesa grill. No such luck. There was a three-hour wait. We headed over to the forum shops to try a restaurant there. We walked by Wolfgang Puck's Spago and thought, hey, let's eat there! So, we did. They walked us straight into the dining room, no wait!

The restaurant has a real modern feel to it and so did the menu. Colin had a blue-cheese topped fillet and he hasn't stopped talking about it since. We ordered some amazing deserts. The chocolate brownie came on the cutest little plate ever. It was more of a tart shell with a chocolate fudge thing inside- To. Die. For! We also got a banana crepe drizzled in chocolate.



My chicken, mushrooms, and mashed potatoes. Sorry the pics didn't turn out too well. I was using the little camera so as not to attract too much attention.

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
