To inaugurate our arrival in Las Vegas, we landed and immediately set out for Hash House A Go Go: self-proclaimed home of twisted farm food and recent host to the bottomless stomach of one Adam Richman (himself host of the show Man Vs Food).

The menu for Hash House A Go Go is a masterpiece of robust food and lots of griddled goodness.

Starting with a hearty bloody mary while we study the menu.

After much debate over meatloaf versus hash versus benedict, we agree on this:
Sage-fried chicken and its many glorious layers

What two can barely conquer is what the host of Man Vs Food tucked away in minutes: Andy's sage fried chicken with fresh spinach, hardwood smoked bacon, tomato, griddled mozzarella, chipotle cream and scrambled eggs served on a fresh split biscuit with griddled mashed potatoes.

We particularly admired the method of garnish, which consisted of a hearty stick of rosemary and a steak knife plunged into the very heart of the breakfasty beast.

A last view of the deliciousness before we tackle it:

Needless to say, but stated nevertheless: we did not require lunch nor early dinner this day.

Despite the chattering and woofing traffic a foot away, this rabbit was not deterred. He feasted on grasses along the shoulders of the paved trail, with me crouched (painfully) inches away. Or perhaps he is very tame: acclimated to the bumbling, noisy humans who invade his square of this planet.

On some days, the drive to capture a moment, a pattern, a feeling in pixels is replaced by pure frustration. The camera is no human eye, alas.

One particularly vexing limitation of my camera (or my skill) is the dappled tapestry of sunlight against leaves. This vexation haunts me at Brazos Bend State Park, where filaments of silvery Spanish Moss swing languorously in the sun.

So this is only an approximation of the sunlight, the leaves, and moss.

Up next, a less subdued version in color.

A tasty treat for Sunday, which was a rainy, overcast day.

Grilled cheese gone rogue: muenster, prosciutto, and mustard on whole wheat.
