Pussyfooting: Shen Yun 2012

I was disappointed my trip would mean I'd miss Shen Yun 2012 in Honolulu, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover another touring Shen Yun troupe was performing at the Lila Cockrell Theater.


The only tickets left were in the 1st balcony section, which is likely better than i would've bought in Honolulu.


It was worth every $! The show was fantastic. The costumes were magnificent. The dancing, especially the males, was spectacular. They update the show yearly, so if I'm lucky enough to see them next year, I will seize the opportunity!


No pics were allowed in the theater, and there was someone checking purses in the ticket line (not kidding).  Luckily, I didnt have my camera.  I only wish they had a cd for sale!

Pussyfooting: Saltgrass Steakhouse


Two nights ago, i sneaked a bite of ribeye from here. It was so good that i had to come back again for my own plate.

My meal began with a salad. There was enough ranch dressing on it to sink the Titanic, but it was good.  Then came the 12 oz. ribeye topped with lump crabmeat in lemon butter. I chose garlic mashed potatoes as my side. It was awesome.

Every meal comes with a round loaf of beer bread. I thought it was only okay, although my co-diner thought it was wonderful (she ate half the loaf).  Neither of us could manage dessert, and it didnt help that i knew how large the desserts are.

Pussyfooting: Republic of Texas Restaurant on the Riverwalk




Tonight was another fairly disappointing dinner at the Republic of Texas Restaurant on the Riverwalk. I had an Awaushi burger, which is supposedly from a hoity-toity japanese cow. The burger was actually lean and tasty, but i really wanted a steak. Prior to settling on this restaurant, Sensei & I went to check out the menu at Little Rhein Steak House, but $50 for a steak seemed steep for the Golden Corral set. Bummer because my meal was only okay.

I was hoping to post a pic of dessert, but i didnt order dessert. About the time we thought about going out for dessert, there was a full-blown thunder/lightning storm raging. It was spooky. Even the Riverwalk shut down. I will try to get my rib eye tomorrow night!

Pussyfooting: Golden Corral & Saltgrass Steak House

We had quite an adventure today!  We had dinner at the feed-your-face Golden Corral. Not my idea, but i went along in the spirit of being a good team player. While i got full, the food was nothing special.  I joined up with another group and had a huge slice of strawberry cheesecake at Saltgrass Steak House on the Riverwalk. KW gave me some of his rib eye.  I hope i can get a nice rib eye for myself tomorrow.

Pussyfooting: Casa Rio

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  Casa Rio on the Riverwalk was the perfect setting for dinner.  Unfortunately, the food wasn't as photogenic as it was tasty.  I had a cheese enchilada and a crispy beef taco.  I forgot to take a picture of the colorful umbrellas with my phone cam, but I got a few of pics of them on my regular camera.


And happy Boys Day to y'all too!
