Palm Springs: Post Thanksgiving Blues

Enough vegetables in this salad to fulfill my quota for days

Even though the Thanksgiving holiday ended on Sunday, many people only headed back home today, which is why Palm Springs looks much quieter tonight than the previous few days.

The downtown area (which is only a few streets) hardly had any traffic, though the parking lot was mostly full for dinner.

We went to one restaurant and were greeted outside by two young hostesses who told us there would be an hour wait for a table. An hour? 

So we moved onto Kaiser Grill Palm Springs and inside it was pretty much empty. There were only people sitting at the bar and we soon found out why.

After we were each handed a tablet to peruse the menu, we were surprised to find there were no prices next to the dishes. Our waiter later explained we had to click on each menu item to see the description of the dish and the price.

Some of the dishes were eye-watering expensive, in particular the steaks at 24oz which is huge. We joked all five of us would have to share one to finish it. Who eats 24oz of meat these days?

Our waiter seemed disappointed we were only drinking water until he heard where we were from and began raving about Vancouver and Whistler in particular for the skiing. 

I had a massive bowl of salad with pine nuts along with roasted fig, peach and roasted chicken breast and just barely finished it.

Walking 4 kilometres afterwards helped ease the digestion!

I have been walking 10K the last few days in order to burn off as many calories as possible!!!
