Vegas Day Two – Part Two
Medically reviewed by Christiana George Updated Date: December 14, 2022
From the Paris , we started making our way towards the Palazzo, weaving in and out of casinos on the way. It was already started to get hot outside in the Vegas sun.
The Venetian has a lot of great architectural details that I love. I never did go on the gondolas, but they sure look like fun. Perhaps next time.
Here I am in front of the fountain at the Venetian.
Inside the Palazzo was this ginormous waterfall, and “falling” from the ceiling were these beautiful leaves. We also went to check out Encore next to the Wynn. But by then hunger started calling, so we walked fast to Ceasar’s Forum Shops. We were going to eat Italian, but then had a change of heart and tried out a new sushi restaurant, Sushi Roku.
We started off with some edamame. We tried some rice beer…mmmm. A little pricey, but worth it.
Hubby had some beef teriyaki, but I wanted to try some kobe beef, so I ordered some kobe beef skewers. Yep, they were tasty. Unfortunately, one of the meatballs took flight and landed on the floor. I was very saddened.
Not to fear, I also ordered eel and avocado rolls. Now these were de..li..cious. My husband was grossed out by the thought of eels, but they are super tasty. Atleast they stayed put in my plate and didn’t run away like my meatball. Prices were a little more reasonable than the other sushi place, but still on the high side.
We had to walk off some of this food before dessert, so we did a little window shopping around the Forum Shops before heading over to Seredipity 3. More on that tomorrow.

Zucchini Recipes
Found another recipe I need to try…Zucchini Cookies! I have to use up all the zucchini I was given. We will see how they turn out. My mom found this recipe with version of Zucchini Bread that she makes, however I used a different version I found in her stash of old recipes. By the way I typed all these old recipes back when I was younger on a typewriter. Remember those things? When I started typing them, it was on a children’s typewriter. Then later on my parents bought an electric typewriter. It had a correction tape to fix all your mistakes so you didn’t have to make a mess with the liquid white-out. We thought that was advanced at the time. ahhh..nostalgia!
Anyway, here is the recipe that I used for my zucchini cupcakes the other day:
Zucchini Nut Bread
4 eggs
3/4 tsp. baking powder
2 cups sugar
2 cups zucchini (shredded)
1 cup oil
1 cup chopped nuts
3 1/2 cups flour
1 cup raisins
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
Mix the eggs. Add the sugar and oil. Mix well. Mix together the dry ingredients. Add the egg mixture and the zucchini a little at a time to the dry ingredients. Add the raisins and the nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 min.
Of course, I was in too much of a rush to make the cupcakes, that I forgot to check the pantry for all the ingredients. I only had one cup of sugar, so I substituted 3/4 cup of my dad’s maple syrup in place of the second cup of sugar. I also didn’t have nuts or raisins, so I just left them out. Since I was making cupcakes instead of a bread I decreased the baking time to about 20 min. All in all it worked out well. They came out tasty.
