Our Reunion Celebration - Lawry's

Our reunion celebration began with reservations at Lawry's The Prime Rib Las Vegas, a favorite place where Harry and I have celebrated special occasions over years. It's definitely a place to create memorable experiences. The restaurant's art deco design, soft music, and dim lighting create a romantic atmosphere. The service is excellent and the dining is unparalleled.

Dinner started out with cocktails and lobster bisque, one of my favorite starters for a great meal. Lawry's fine lobster bisque is crafted in their kitchen with each order. Your chef proudly wheels it out to you on his silver cart and personally pours the creamy soup mixture over the sauteed lobster. It's delicious!

One of the unique features of Lawry's is their Spinning Bowl Salad. Again, the serving cart is rolled up to your table. Your server spins the silver salad bowl while it's sitting atop of another chilled bowl filled with sparkling ice. Our server spun the salad bowl while narrating the story about the special house dressing; all the while pouring it on a freshly mixed bed of greens. Coupled with the hot bread and whipped butter, this part of the meal is also amazing. 

Naturally, our main course was Lawry's Classic Prime Rib Dinner. Your prime rib is cut table-side and served on a warm plate with au jus sauce.  Homemade mashed pototoes topped with brown gravy enhance your already perfect meal.   

Lawry's complimented us with a mini strawberry bundt cake for two, topped with blueberry compote and a dollop of their whipped cream.  My idea of dessert is the banana creme pie, the most popular dessert item on their menu. The fresh bananas, toasted coconut sprinkled on a mound of fresh whipped topping and mixed into the pie's crust too, makes it outstanding. 

Needless to say, we brought home several take-out boxes! Tonight's dinner is what you may have already guessed, leftovers from Lawry's.

Miller's Tavern in Vegas July 7, 2022

Image
Miller's Tavern is a great place to chill out. Sitting on a well-groomed golf course called Palm Valley,  it's located in the Sun City Community in Summerlin, Las Vegas, NV.  This is an adult community and requires that at least one member of the household must be at least 55 years of age and no household member can be under 18. Needless to say, it's a quiet and peaceful place. Today, I met with a group of 18 people at Miller's for lunch and play time. The group's favorite game is Rummikub, a tile-based game for 2-4 players. It's a great past-time on a hot, summer day in the desert.  About Miller's Tavern If you live in Las Vegas, NV, Miller's is a fun place to dine and enjoy various activities. This full service restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the bar or in the dining room. If it's not to hot, another option is the outdoor patio facing the golf course. In the bar area, gaming machines offer Poker, Black Jack, and Slots, just to nam...

Death Does NOT Become Her

Each life experience changes the things that lie within the deepest chambers of our hearts and the inner core of our souls. Among those experiences is the death of a person that you loved more than most.  January 1, 2020, the clock struck the hour of "death" and the bad news was delivered. My brother was found dead in his bathtub. My mother was in her room on the second story, oblivious to the passing of her only son.  Earlier that day, my brother's neighbors noticed a build-up of deliveries on his front porch, and the mail had started to accumulate. One of those neighbors decided to investigate the scene. He went up to the door, knocked, rang the bell, approached the side door and slider, but to no avail. The windows were locked, and nothing could be seen from the outside.  The police were summoned. Upon arrival, they banged on the doors, yelled out, but no reply, no signs of life. They decided to force entry. The odor of death was in the air as they yelled out the word ...

Las Vegas Fun Times

Image
Las Vegas Fun Times is my new baby! In all honesty, I wasn't ready to launch this new meetup group. Much to my surprise, when I stepped-up to the plate to become the Organizer of  "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives!", the new group went live. Yikes! It had been sitting in "draft" mode since early April.  Needless to say, I began my day scrambling to get things up to par. With the graphic in place and my intro complete (at least for now), I posted my first event, Happy Hour at The Hawthorn Grill. As luck would have it, a dear friend is celebrating her 70th birthday this month.  I'm very hopeful that this will be a memorable birthday for my Vegas sister.   Getting back to giving birth to a new group, I'm excited once again! Life is giving me new things, and I'm welcoming and embracing the new adventures and opportunities. I'm feeling right at home again; doing my happy dance.  "Good Times" by Chic
