The lack of a digital camera, not to mention time to spare during weeknights, it's become more of a hassle to document my cooking these days. I still make spontaneous dishes here and there with what I have in the fridge, but nothing recipe-writing-worthy. So I decided to take some time these next few weeks(until that PowerShot is in my possession, yay!), to take photos of my fondest food memories from the recent years. A few of my friends, Matt, and I are planning a trip to the steamy Las Vegas late August, and lately I've been making daily mind escapes dreaming up an awesome itinerary that obviously involves a lot of food! The last time I went was January of 2009, and given the short amount of time and lack of dinero-- we didn't splurge much on food. But when we did, it was YUUUUUUMMY. 1. The buffet at the Wynn: When Matt told me we were going to a buffet for dinner, my first reaction was "no, no, no..." He kept telling me that this buffet will change my perspective of buffets, but my initial repulsiveness of the idea buffet struck by an extremely long line- not to mention the hefty price tag- Let's just say that I was not a happy camper. But that's enough about that, and I'll just let my picture explain how that dinner went! 
2. B&B Ristorante: This is our most expensive dinner date thus far... and why do I have a feeling that I'll break that record in our next trip? Anyways, the best thing about the meal was Mario Batali's famous mint love letters with lamb sausage. The big veal chop definitely won Matt's heart, and this visit to a Batali/Bastianich restaurant has me torn between Carnevino and DB Brasserie for our next visit!
