Free Prizes!

We love the place they've put us for this run here in Houston. It's a suite hotel where we can cook meals. It sits on a golf course and, if we want to use the restaurant attached to the golf course, we can get 50% off on the weekends. And this restaurant has GREAT food, including a terrific Texas Chicken Fried Steak.

Today, they announced a free buffet here in the hotel with chicken fingers and salad. AND a BINGO GAME! So, Jim and I, who've never turned down a meal, made our way down to the "Great Room," loaded our plates up with hot chicken fingers and bought some Bingo cards (for $1 each, the proceeds to go to a children's charity).

Although there were several groups of men (British workers doing something for Siemens) eating large platefuls of food, Jim and I were the only two people playing Bingo.

And we both won at the same time! Our prizes? Two free meals for two at the Sand Trap Restaurant!

What is it about this story that's vaguely disturbing?

Wow, Can't beat that Bingo deal!

...so does the chicken fried steak come with gobs of country gravy?

Two free dinner? May I suggest the chicken fried steak with a side of Lipator?

Well, I do confess that I won't be having any more chicken fried steak. The Lipitor comment was a good one. They have a lime-broiled chicken with veggies and mashed potatoes that is also sumptuous. I just wonder if, by going on 50% off night, we could stretch that 30 bucks into another free meal!
