Cardiac: Someone crazy about cars

HTP and I had supper last night at one of the casino restaurants. Billy Bob's. I know I've never actually had a good meal there but I keep on trying. What keeps drawing me back are the raw oysters and the Shiner Bock beer. I decided to be adventurous last night. They had grilled ahi tuna on the menu as a special. I asked them if I could order my ahi tuna rare and the answer came back from the chef that the tuna was sushi grade and that I could have my tuna rare. OK. It came to me on a plate, 1/4" thick, grilled overdone on the outside and pink on the inside. Rare. I think the poor chef must have taken this guppy right out of the freezer in order for him to be able to grill my tuna rare. I'm glad I asked for some wasabi too. I think the sushi grade ahi tuna was a bit past its prime. A generous smear of wasabi helped mask this condition but it still tasted and smelled...fishy. I know. It's fish. Fish are fishy, right? Nope. Good fish is never "fishy". Bad fish is "fishy". I ate half of my ahi tuna and then decided that I didn't want to risk eating more...just in case. I didn't go hungry. I'd already eaten a dozen raw oysters and downed a tankard of Shiner Bock. I also ate half of a spinach salad. The spinach salad was good but I wish the dressing had been edible. Why they can't seem to make a warm bacon dressing in the Billy Bob kitchens, I have no idea. I'm thinking that it's because the bacon that they use in the salad must come from some huge Sysco bag and they don't have anything remotely resembling actual bacon in the kitchen from which to harvest the necessary bacon drippings for good bacon dressing. I almost asked for a dish of some other dressing because what they sent me tasted a bit like brown sugar dissolved in water. Oh well, tonight we'll scoot over to Billy Bob's again, just for the raw oysters as an appetizer before we'll eat supper at Willy and Jose's tonight.
