So out and about. Thursday was haircut day. Our barber is in downtown Las Vegas. We like the atmosphere of downtown. It reminds me of Ferndale or Royal Oak. Lots of restaurants. There are four businesses in the building that houses the barbershop. 3 are restaurants. Zydecos, which I've raved about and is on our Sunday brunch rotation. Then there is Vegenation, which is, of course, a vegetarian restaurant. And I've learned about raw dishes and cooked dishes. My daughter's vegan friend has a preference. I digress. Selections include portobello sliders with sriracha aioli and sweet potato quesadilla with black beans and chipotle crema. And they are open for breakfast. Next door to Vegenation, is Glutton. Glutton features made from scratch pork rinds and a kimchi beef and rice bowl that has intrigued me as does the caramel corn profiteroles. No, we haven't tried Vegenation or Glutton, but will one day.
So where did we go after the barbershop? Well I'll start off with someone delivered a box of donuts to the barbers, which prompted Brian to say he wanted donuts. Retired cop joke. Lol lol. But we'd get the donuts after we ate lunch. Did I mention that the donut store was 1 block east of the barber shop? While watching Food a Paradise a while ago, a pizza restaurant from Vegas was featured, Pizza Rock. It featured a pizza the restaurant made only 23 for the day and then that was it. We finally made our way there on Thursday. We entered the restaurant. The hostess sat us in a little private salon booth thing with curtains. They had quite an extensive menu. We passed on the "special" pizza. We settled on the Detroit Red Top. It sounded like a sort of Buddys or Shields pizza. We were told it would take 20 minutes. Hey. We're retired. We got nothing but time! We got a house salad while we waited.
The pizza came. Not quite a "Detroit", but it was a deep dish with the crusty parts. And cheesy. So cheesy. And it was delicious!! We'll call it a reasonable facsimile. :-) The size was what usually cuts into 8 slices at Buddys . Here, they cut it into 4. So no, I couldn't even finish my 1 slice. Needless to say we will be back. So many other pizzas on the menu to try. By the way, there was a large group near us and we watched the giant Strombolis and calzones large than people's heads being served.
Afterwards we went the The Donut Bar. Brian came back with a box that looked like it held a dozen donuts. He said it bought 3. I was confused until we got home and he opened the box. The donuts were huge! Anyway. He got 2 salted Carmel donuts and a Homer. He admitted he didn't see anything else besides those and was especially mesmerized by the Homer. Lol. We'll go back one day and see what else is there. Probably when we get our hair cut again. Oh yeah. The salted Carmel donut was Devine. And Brian enjoyed his Homer.
On the dialysis front, I am now taking meds to increase my blood pressure. Go figure. But. The cost of the pills are an issue. The cost before insurance was $350 plus. ;-/ After insurance it was $50. WTH is it with the cost of meds. Geez. We'll see how it goes. Never in my life did I imagine I'd have to take meds to raise my blood pressure. And here's something to chew on. A cruise to Alaska is being planned for home hemodialysis patients is being planned for June 2017. We're pondering the idea.
That's it for today. Just a few photos from our Thursday food adventure. Enjoy your Sunday.
Salted caramel donut. Notice the size. I ate 1/4 of it at a time.
