We are being fed well with the churches providing us lunch every day. They are BIG on beef. The Catholics served beef brisket on Monday; the Methodists - beef stew on Tuesday; New Covenant Church - beef minestrone on Wednesday; and today the Lutherans served beef stew. (Guess you would also have to say they're BIG into stew as well. Or perhaps Texas beef is just tough - after all, brisket is a tough cut until it's smoked for hours.)
Around town there's Cooper's Pit that also serves goat and sausage. John & I stopped there last night at 6:00 to get some for our dinner and they were closed. Their brisket roaster (photo above) was, however, smoking away in preparation for the following day. I guess if you want BBQ you have to have it either for breakfast or lunch.
The other sign is from the local ball park - thought you might like to see what they offered.Last night we also stopped at the grocery store to pick up a couple of things (they, at least, were still open. By the way, that's what was wrong with the computer - everyone shuts them off at 6:00 - who knew?) Anyway, I asked where the wine was (having bought some at the grocery in Brady) and they told me it was a dry county. But you're selling beer, says I. Apparently, that doesn't count as liquor. But there's a winery in town (it closes at 2), says I. That turns out to be a "special" case and the store manager thought they only sold Texas wine. Interesting...
