Local generic Texy-Mexy stuff in town. How did we get there?

MrsT: Let’s go to the new brewery that just opened.
Me: Where is it?
MrsT: Where the old brewery was.
Me: Ok, but the last time we ate there, we both said it was too noisy and we’d never go back.

<Drive to brewery, we go in and stand around for 10 minutes, trying to find a quiet corner, but it’s all concrete floors and metal chairs and high ceilings…too noisy>

MrsT: LET’S GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! IT’S TOO NOISY!
Me (to myself): Wish I’d thought of that…

<Drive to hotel restaurant>

MrsT: Can we sit in a booth in the bar:
Host: Those are reserved, but outside seating is available.
MrsT: It’s too hot outside. How about the dining room?
Host: Sure, follow me…we have this table and that table free.
MrsT: What about that other table.
Host: It’s reserved.
MrsT: Those tables are too small, we’ll just go somewhere else.
Me: How about the Mexican place around the corner. You said Mexican would be ok earlier.
MrsT: Yes, but not that place, the other one. Their margaritas are crap in a glass.

(Drive to local sports bar…circle the parking lot)

MrsT: There isn’t anywhere to park, and the line is out the door!
Me: Next?
MrsT: Burger and a beer, I guess.

(Drive out of town to burger dive…no parking)

MrsT: What’s wrong with everyone?!
Me: it’s Saturday night. Back into town.

(Drive back into town to the other Mexican place…no issues, because their dining room is massive. We order drinks.)

Me: How’s your margarita?
MrsT (slurping her drink): Ok…it’s the other place that’s good, this one is the place with the crappy margaritas. I got them mixed up.



They redeemed themselves, though, with a warm spice cake filled with hot dulce de leche with a sugary streusel on top and covered in a generous drizzle of caramel for dessert.

There's a Monty Python skit in there...

On our table last night at that pricey restaurant that we weren't paying for ...

Kids plates, butter pasta

DH & I shared a 14 ounce strip steak, perfect!

The Scallop appie was a hit

Special for the night, fillet, shrimp, mash (BIL had to have rice instead of mash) and asparagus

There were multiples of some of these plates.

My hand and back are sore from giving myself kudo pats.

 

[Windigo]

I had to giggle that one. Looks like a take with leeks and ham. Windigo ???

It was just white sauce base, broth & mustard. Nothing fancy and no leeks or ham . The bits were croutons
