The Coffee House

[table1349]

Pęhévevóonä'o hóvahéhasęstse,

Two more days and the vacation begins. Sitting here with a nice grumbly thunderstorm going on outside. We've received a little over 1" of rain so far. Time to do a little shopping and start packing. Not looking forward to the 9 hour drive, but San Antonio has lots to see and lots of great places to eat.

Already picked out a few of the best looking Diners, Drive-ins and Dives locations to try as well as several promising places on the riverwalk where we are staying.

The first 2.5 pounds on the dehydrator.
The beginnings of the wife's famous homemade jerky.

I may ask for the recipe for the marinade. I have made jerky for Buzz but have only used pre-mixed seasoning (because what the hell do I know?) but I would much much MUCH rather use a fresh spice mix.

On a totally unrelated note....
If you don't see the ferrets around, it's absolutely not related to this new batch of jerky.

WHEW!

(That means you'll be posting some proof of that soon, hmmmmmm?)

Vasquez Rocks:

NEEDS MOAR GORN!

we just use a premade marinade from publix.
so many places already make a fantastic marinade, it just didnt seem necessary to mess with it just for jerky.
i forget the brand the wife uses...already tossed the bottles. but its really really good. we tried several marinades, and several different cuts of meat, before settling on top round london broil and whatever brand of marinade she uses.

I made eggs this morning! I wanted over easy but I think they were over cardboard. The toast came out perfect.

Gary like toast. But Gary doesn't have a toaster.

Hope you have better luck with those places than we did! We went to the Maine Diner for breakfast (Guy went for lunch) and overpaid for a below average diner breakfast. We were out in Anaheim and ran into another DDD restaurant, and I thought, well, maybe I should order what Guy ate...I did, and had one of the most overcooked pasta dishes I've ever had, haha.

Gary like toast. But Gary doesn't have a toaster.

Gary must be better at finishing his breads than I am. The last third of mine always end up in a toaster.

Oh...and the NFL starts tonight! Only problem is with the 8:30PM start, I'll be lucky to get the first half in before I pass out.

Been to the Maine Diner many times and have never had a bad meal but it's not something that I would rank as outstanding or even way above average as far as breakfast goes... Of course you are definitely paying tourist prices as there are not many places to choose from in Wells. Next time get the waffle.

We really like Congdon's...but honestly, I'm more of a coffee and think about an early lunch guy anyways! Unfortunately, I now have to consider what my daughter needs...and she's hungry when she wakes up at 6:30!

Mmmm... ferret-flavour!

Yeah, I'm going to need to see a time stamp on that shot. Better yet, so you can edit the information, I am going to want a picture of Bear and Possom, sitting on today's newspaper, with your a time-keeping device in the shot as well to prove the picture was taken AFTER you posted that jerky shot.

Plan on going to the Magnolia Pancake Haus, The Cove, Taco Taco Cafe and The Moroccan Bites. All have high ratings from the customers, not just Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Been to Taco Taco and the Moroccan Bites before and loved both. Magnolia Pancake Haus is supposed to be on par With the Richard Walker Pancake House in San Diego. Line from the moment they open till they close. The Cove sounds like good seafood with a large variety of fish tacos so it had to make the list.

We always try some of the Triple D places but we always read the reviews on various sites first. Never been to a bad one but have been to a couple that were good, but not so good that I couldn't get as good at home. Moroccan Bites is especially good, and the lamb is to die for. The only person that I know makes better lamb is my wife Aunt. But then her lamb is farm raised and she picks the lamb she wants.
