Gotta love having a mate who has a cellar full of good wine and always brings a bottle upon visiting…

After over an hour "fight" with my paypal account (I was too blind to convert my balances ;)) I finally managed to hunt down a pair of Kapital century denim 7-S stone sumi, getting pretty excited as I always wanted to try these guys on. very curious how they gonna fit me

.We're in Las Vegas visiting my in laws.  My mother in law is crazy.  Periodically, I will be quoting her insanity for your potential entertainment.

MiL: Where do you want to for dinner?
Julie: I don't care, as long as we don't go to a buffet.
(Julie's parents looooove buffets)
MiL: OK, we'll go to the buffet at the Mirage.
Julie: I said no buffets.
MiL: That's why we're going to the half price one.

[Chris]

After giving up on convincing us that a half price buffet is somehow not a buffet…

MiL: Let's get Korean.  They have soup and meat.  Vietnamese only eat soup.
(she eats banh mi at least once a week.)

[Seul]

Best of luck C…

Didn't realize soup and meat were mutually exclusive. Ahem (pho)

[DougNg]

Do they starve themselves throughout the day so they can load up at the buffet? And then load up on meat and seafood while they're there?

I have to admit, Jody and I make a trip to the Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan for dinner once a trip in Vegas and always do the brunch at the Bellagio

We're heading there in Sept for a short getaway, just the two of us

[Chris]

The Bellagio brunch is really good, but, "No, we can't go there. It costs too much."  Of course.

And no, Doug, they don't.  They eat normally the rest of the day.  Heck, they eat normally at the buffet.  It's mystifying.

i despise buffets because I can't help but wonder how many people have not washed their hands after visiting the restroom and then finger the food that has potential to be on my plate. NO can do, no way, no how…

[bagley920]

It's go time!!

[Omega Man]

All hell is going to break loose, stay calm ;D, bag!

Bah, they're not real Chinese then

[seanocono]

Good luck, bagz!

Going to a buffet nearly 48 hours after we arrived might be a record, nonetheless, it is one that cannot stand.

The "where are we going for lunch" highlight:
MiL: Let's go to a buffet.
Julie: You know I don't like buffets.
MiL: We have to leave now.
Julie: It's 10:30 am.
MiL: It takes 45 minutes to get there and it gets really crowded, so we have to be early.  Today is the Senior Citizens special.
Julie: You're really not selling this as well as you think you are.
MiL: It's $5 per person.
Julie: So you want us to drive 45 minutes to stand in line for a crowded buffet, when you know we don't like buffets, just because it's cheap?
MiL: It's five dollars.

I don't think I ate my money's worth.  And she wasn't kidding- the wait was an hour.

By the way, Doug, they ate salad.  Salad.
