Year 3, Day 51: Trip To the Big Indian

This week Ruby was on vacation and so every day (Tues-Friday) I drover her to art school. On our way, I toasted her a Whole Foods chocolate pop-tart and we listened to her favorite CD Steve Songs with "On a Flying Guitar." It really was a great time. I managed to keep a stack of brownies for her snack every day (she was there until 3pm every day) which I thought was a swell treat because we made them together. On Thursday night, to my horror, I realized that Emily had given the brownies away to Maria, our babysitter. Then I remembered that Ruby and I had made chocolate chip cookie dough from scratch and made so much of it that I rolled it in saran wrap, double-bagged it and put it in individual sleeves in the chest freezer. I picked one out and baked them this morning for her snack; they were just cool enough to go in a baggy by the time we left.

Tonight was supposed to be a poker game, but our host got sick and so we decided to just drive on down to Foxwoods. Unlike the other Connecticut casino, the Mohegan Sun, Foxwood's food offerings are not that great. They have a good upscale steak house and lots of fast-type food (including a Carnegie Deli kiosk) but not too much in between. They do have a nice Chinese Restaurant in their new casino, and they just added a Hard Rock restaurant inside. We chose the Chinese and I due to the fact that I was getting my Wampum card (the card where you are offered points for gambling that you can use later to pay for food, etc.) I didn't order. The food was all too-sweet, which I found very disappointing. On the way down, we ate a lot of Almonds. On the way home I was hungry and bought a bag of smartfood, but I was strong and didn't open it.
