It’s blistering hot here in Vegas this week – but I probably will skip the new ice cream shop in Harrah’s. IcePan has a brochure that tells you about their new method of making their icy treat but warns that you may have a little stomach trouble after eating it. “IcePan ice cream contains FOS (Fructooligosaccharide) that helps to accelerate bowel movements.” Casinos always want to empty your pockets, but now this??

I don’t like to lose – but some people really don’t like to lose.

Yes, there is a fine line between “cheap” and “frugal.” But I consider an action “frugal” when the extra time or energy spent is only a bother for myself. I consider it “cheap” if it is a bother or imposition for someone else too!

I am a very broad-minded person – or at least try to be – but I am offended every time I walk into the Palms and see an ad for a party with this banner: “The Debauchery Continues.” I hope my granddaughter, who turns 18 today, will never feel that this is a good way to have fun.

A burning question – do you think it is honest for me to pick up a set of 2 oven mitts on a casino gift day when I use my oven only for storage and so it is never hot?
Life without debauchery sounds pretty dreary to me. And that goes for both genders.
I have had ice cream from Ice Pan at least twice, with no ill affects. It is hand made and you select the flavors to combine.
It would be even better if the presents were made
in the USA, and were made to Last!
In answer to your burning question. Yes it is perfectly OK to pick up multiple sets of oven mitts. Also the crockpot, blender, toaster oven, BBQ, wind chimes, containers, etc.
All the lovely “stuff” the casino gives to us.
After all they make lovely presents. Who wants to shop for presents, when the casino provides them all. Give presents away all year long, not just during the holidays, to anyone who comes to the house or does you a favor.
People who don’t gamble LOVE this stuff.
I’ve heard that using oven mitts to hold a potato for baking when using a microwave works great.

That article from the New York Times was a hoot! I can see people getting frustrated but peeing on the machine? And why not pick up the oven mitts? You can store them in the oven!
Living in Las Vegas, there are other uses for oven mitts. My mother-in-law kept them in the car in New Mexico. She used them to handle the hot steering wheel when she had to park in the sun.
Oh Jean, thank you for making me laugh. I live in Texas, but I do have to cook for my boyfriend sometimes. (TMI:We’re both widowed, but I can’t marry, or I will lose my Veterans Health benefit.. The government is so kind to we older folk.) As for the \ice cream\ one would think they would not disclose that \feature\ since sales would surely decline!!! And since eating habits for visitors are nothing like at home, none would be the wiser!
