BURP!
Excuse me! When confronted by great food prepared by someone else, different from what I normally have, I didn’t even try not to overeat! It was a great day–left with Pat at 7:00 as planned, arrived at Mike and Susie’s exactly at 10:00 as planned, despite varying degrees of fog most of the way. I put Pat in the shade in a crate and we left to take their boat out on Lake Austin. The water was like glass, the scenery beautiful, the weather perfect. We didn’t get back to their house until 1:00. Since my plan was to head home by 2:00 (with a 30-minute buffer built in) to make it before dark, I didn’t think there would be time for lunch. Wrong! They had everything ready for the last step–jalapeno/sausage/bacon wrapped appetizers, delicious steaks Mike grilled in his Green Egg Cooker, squash bowls filled with a delightful mix of brown sugar, butter, raisins and spices; cubed potatoes with butter/herb sauce and pumpkin pie. I was barely able to waddle out to the car but we were on the road at 2:20–home at 5:10, well before dark. There was very little traffic morning or afternoon.
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!
