Las Vegas Stardust again

L.E. remembers the old school smokey atmosphere at the Las Vegas Stardust. He believes it was time for it to go.

The auction of its contents was interesting. L.E.Fant attended three days and watched online for the remaining two days of the five day sale. He was amazed at the prices paid for many items. Later he will find the auction catalogs in which he marked many sale prices and relate some of the more surprising ones to you.

POLL RESULTS:

71% of respondents stated that their vehicle achieves between 11 and 15 mpg in our city (including L.E.). Only one respondent stated that they drive a vehicles which gets over 25 mpg.

L.E. bought a few gallons yesterday at $3.54 for each.

When L.E. was in London, U.K. last April gas was 91 pennies per liter. Today the gas price is 102 pennies per liter in the same area. That is 11 pennies more, or a 12% increase. Does anyone remember how much gas cost in Las Vegas last April 10th?

L.E. looks forward to being able to purchase a viable air or electric powered car for the use of his family in Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS QUICK PIZZA RECIPE:

Not really original but quick (maybe 30 minutes from start to eating) and tasty.

Ingredients:

One package of Betty Crocker Pizza dough mix (cost around 80 cents). 1/2 cup hot water, spaghetti sauce or pizza sauce, cup of mozzarella, one chicken breast pan cooked or baked until no pink remains, 3 or 4 slices of canned pineapple, olive oil

Method:

Make up the pizza dough mix according to packet directions.

Spread evenly onto an oiled cookie sheet (or pizza pan for soft crust) to a 9 inch or so circle.

Sprinkle a little olive oil on the dough and then spread a thin, even layer of sauce. Add the chicken which has been cut into bite size pieces. Evenly place the pineapple also cut into bite size pieces and then sprinkle the cheese which has been grated or sliced thinly.

Place on low shelf of pre-heated 450 degree F oven for 12-15 minutes.

The result is better than one may imagine and preparation is quick and uses few utensils.

SOLAR LAMP UPDATE:

Expect news soon. L.E. expected to be able to bring you news today.

APOLOGIES:

No post yesterday was, in large part, due to a power outage at L.E.'s which deprived him of Internet and computer at a critical time.
