Ching’s 10th Service Anniversary at YaYa’s
Posted on June 10, 2012 by Ching under Food and Drink.
I had fun celebrating my 10th service anniversary with my coworkers at YaYa’s the other day. Brian couldn’t get away from work to join us, but it was still loads of fun. This was my first trip back to YaYa’s since the incident last year. Nothing too exciting this visit — just good food, wonderful company, and great conversations.
Here are some food photos…
Hummus and Pita
Scallops
I can’t remember what these are…
Pork Medallions (it was the special)
Chicken
Penne Carbonara
Dessert Options
Darcy had the penne carbonara (sans egg yolk), which is what did me in the last time. It’s a really heavy, extremely filling dish. We looked at the dessert tray, but ultimately decided against dessert because we were all quite full.
I really appreciated everyone celebrating this milestone with me. It’s the best service anniversary I’d ever had. Thank you all for making it a truly special day!

We did a lot of eating on Saturday. First at Danika’s birthday party and then at Gina’s where we had Justin and Mandy’s farewell cookout.

Pastries!

If you’re staying at Gaylord Opryland and are craving some delicious pastries, head over to Conservatory Cafe. That’s where I got my chocolate croissants that one day that I didn’t feel like spending $50 on breakfast. Their chocolate croissants are pretty good, but not quite as good as the ones they serve at Couples. It hit the spot, though. Does anyone know where we can get good chocolate croissants here?

My First Restaurant Review for the Dining Panel
Posted on June 3, 2012 by Ching under Food and Drink.
I feel so legit. I’m not talking to air anymore, which is sometimes how I feel whenever I blog here. LOL. And, no. You, dear reader, are not chopped liver. Most of the time I only have an audience of five, though. This dining panel thing is kind of fun.
Guess what. Since the Wichita Eagle published my review of Thai House (June 3, Sunday edition, Arts & Leisure, page 5C), I am now bonafide. Thank you so much to Denise Neil for giving me the opportunity to be part of the dining panel. Thanks for giving me a chance to stick my tongue out at all those people who kept making fun of me for taking pictures of everything I eat. So there!
In case you missed it, here are some photos…

Munchies at Wildhorse Saloon
Posted on May 30, 2012 by Ching under Food and Drink, Travel.
Brian and I decided to stop in at Wildhorse Saloon on Saturday afternoon. There’s no cover until the evening, but there’s never any cover if you’re staying at Gaylord Opryland. Just show them your room key.
There’s not a lot of people there in the afternoon, but it was pretty packed the night that Carmen and I were there. It was the night that Carmen made up a line dance on the fly and got everyone else at the bar to follow her. LOL.
We got our drinks souvenir mason jars.
The BBQ nachos were interesting. I’d never thought of putting BBQ meat with tortilla chips before. It wasn’t bad. I could have done without the sour cream, olives, and jalapeños, though. Blech.
There’s horses everywhere inside the saloon.
Of course, we had to get photos with the horses.
