#FridayFind - HEXX (Refinding and still loving)

Hexx is one of our "must sees" while we go to Vegas.
I believe there was one trip that we were there 4x...  And only for breakfast.


We met/introduced some friends to Hexx this trip.
They have made a few changes in the last year which we weren't happy about (no longer 24 hours, no more breakfast only menu)... But we can deal as our favorite dishes made it to the brunch menu.

And one of these days - I will figure out how to make those potatoes!

Chilaquiles

Carrot Cake Pancakes
Chicken and Waffle

Breakfast Potatoes
(Best potatoes around!!!)

Cinnaroll Waffle
Namaste.

#CraftyTuesday - Tractors!

Zilla got his first quilt that was Lion King-ish themed when he was a baby.
That blanket got so much use that it was loved to death and someone (not sure who) didn't realize the significance of the blanket and got rid of it.  MaBell wasn't happy!

Zilla has been after me to make him a bigger, tractor quilt for a while now.
I finally came through for his sixth birthday!



Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Hash House (Vegas)

So last week, I mentioned that we had found a new friend to go on the "must visit" list when we are in Vegas.  Also a bonus - it is in the same casino as the restaurant it is replacing, but closer to the mono-rail stop!

Let me introduce you to Hash House.
Great waiter...
Great food (though portions are huge - you may want to share)...
Reasonable prices (for Vegas)...

A "twisted" lemonade drink that was on a special menu that isn't posted on-line, so I can't find the exact name.

Sage Fried Chicken and Waffles
They forgot to put the knife in the top, so it fell over...
Click on the link at the top of the post and they have a better picture in the menu section.


Big-O Chicken Pot Pie (made without mushrooms - happy dance!)
Very yummy!

Chicken Fried Steak
(If you aren't a huge breading fan - look close, there is way more breading then meat - so you could remove some easily.)

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Guy Fieri's (Vegas - Refinding and revising opinion)

We were back in Vegas (normal vacation spot for us)...
Every time we go, there is a list of restaurants that we want to hit - kinda like visiting old friends.
Except, sometimes, relationships evolve and the old friendships become more of acquaintences...

That is what has happened with Guy Fieri's.
We could always overlook the occasional rude staff because the food was so good...
And they had the best turkey burger around.

This go round, I had to eat it open faced because the top bun was so hard - I was afraid I would break a tooth if I tried to eat it... And it didn't taste near as good as it did on all of the other visits...
That, along with more rude staff, has crossed them off of the must visit list.

Never fear - we found something to replace it (to be featured on #FridayFinds soon)...

Trash Can Brisket Nachos

Bacon Mac-N-Cheese Burger

Tatted-Up Turkey Burger - The bread was so hard, I was afraid I was going to break a tooth!
Namaste.

#Friday Finds - Red Star Diner

We finally made it to Red Star Diner in Toledo...
I was so hungry from a 11-mile bike ride that I ate some of mine before I remembered to take a picture...

Overall, it was good and we will probably go back.
But it didn't live up to the hype of all of its reviews.

Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich
Chicken and Waffle
Namaste.
