Good Food, Good Stuff

Good Times! Indeed, we're back from one great roadtrip. We discovered this sign at a restaurant somewhere, and David suggested we go back at night and steal it. Isn't he the best? He was, of course, kidding. But, to play along with my fantasies is so endearing.

We did enjoy some of the best food ever at the Bandera Saloon. Chef Mark took wonderful care of us. When you go, I highly recommend the Maytag Bleu Cheese Tenderloin. A-ma-Zing. Truly. Wow. I don't even like Bleu Cheese. Try it. You'll like it. Also, if you are drinker, Jen, behind the bar, makes a mean Texas Tea. Yum!
Cher at The Texas Woman sent me this wonderful hat that I enjoyed bookoos on the trip. Somewhere on her blog is a link to her son's company, where this head cover came from. If you love it, move fast. There are limited qualities.

David played along well, when it came to stopping and shopping. We made stops at thrift stores, an estate sale and some garage sales, as well as a few shops here and there. Places that, I assure you, the man would never have stopped had I not been there. Isn't he a trooper? Here is a peek at some of the goodies I walked away with.

The big, wire basket is to die for (sold). The old apothecary jar will look wonderful with just about anything displayed inside. The only marking on it is "Pat June 11 1895". The finial is heavy. The napkin rings (sold) are silver with cow hair attached. The orangy tin with barbed wire, well, that's self explanatory, people. Cute for the fall weather, eh?
I'm heading up to Primitiques with these goodies today. As is the practice at most eating establishments, first come, first served.
