Sneaking off from Work...






Larry and I went to lunch today and enjoyed some barbecued ribs.  Yep...we snuck off and were late getting back to work.  The new Baylor Stadium is hosting the Brazos River Rib Fest this weekend so we thought we'd get there when it opened to check things out.  Five ribs...sweet tea...and an ice cream cookie later, we "rolled" back to the truck.  Goodness!  Good eats!
Ft Worth, Chicago, Nebraska, Austin and Arkansas were represented.  The only place I LOVED the sauce, didn't have ANY for sale...When I asked for some they all looked at me like I was a Northerner.  SO, to break up their "unease" at forgetting a great sale item, I simply replied..."Oh Hell No!" Hahahaa...talk about scrambling to hunt up an empty container...!!  Buttt, being the sweet kind of gal I am...WHAT...I told them not to worry about it, I'd just have to forever hold that darn sauce in my loving memory...anyway, we all had a good laugh then I stuck a tip in the lonely tip jar and dropped my "Voted Best Ribs" ticket in their voter box. 
Well that's all the excitement I can muster up for you today.  Will be heading your way...Have a super weekend!

Well, good for you and Larry! I bet those bbq guys will start selling their sauce in jars from now on. I can't eat it anymore, but I can salivate (is that a word) just thinking about it. I CAN eat ice cream though. LOL

Stay safe in your weather also, Donna. So far, all we're getting are "teasers". Britt and Matt's electricity went out and that's no fun with a house full of kids. Well, not a house full but that's how it felt yesterday when I babysat for them. They are loud, but they also are so precious. Jase always tries to chase me down saying byebye memaw. :)

Sounds like a great way to spend a long lunch hour to me! One time we were in a restaurant that had the very best greek salad dressing I ever tasted. When I asked them if I could buy some they filled a small Styrofoam cup and charged me $4! That was the last time I asked!

Oh girl those ribs look so good. I have an absolute obsession with barbecue sauce. I could drink it. My mouth is watering now. Thanks a lot. xoxo
