Rocks, BBQ Research & Microwave Success

Last night, we started our research for the BBQ for the rehearsal dinner. BBQ #1 was a new place near Patrick's house, Texas BBQ House. It may be a winner! The food was awesome, and we were really impressed at the level of customer service we got. As we were standing in front of the counter reading the menu board, one of the workers noticed us, laughed, asked if it was our first visit and gave us samples of their "moist brisket."

Halfway into our meal. Note the "plates" and "tray"

We asked a couple questions about their catering, and over the next few minutes, the owner came out and gave us samples of their turkey, pork loin, cutters choice brisket, creamed corn and beans. Sooo good. We ordered some of the cutters choice brisket, pork loin, a jalapeno sausage and cole slaw. I would be great with getting them as our caterer, but I think it'd still be fun to try out some other restaurants - for research's sake, of course!

The microwave is now up and running! Patrick thinks I'm ridiculous for being so excited about the two shelves (note: I found the 2nd shelf for $2 - brand new), but it looks really impressive if you ask me!

This weekend is going to result in some sore muscles b/c Patrick had the rock for the backyard delivered today. There's a huge pile of little rocks and a few  boulders on his driveway just waiting to be distributed. Do you think he'd catch on if I pretended to be sleeping as he works on putting out the rock? No, I don't think so either ;)
