We're "attacking the TAKS" in the social studies department.
Here we are in a more threatening pose. If it weren't for the students, this would be a great place to work. I exaggerate...it's not just the students that suck the life out of you. 28 days and counting until summer. The last summer before Little Miss goes to school. I guess really last summer was the last one for a long time that won't involve back to school shopping. Sniffle, sniffle, sob.
I'm not sure what Loverboy did today beyond getting a haircut, but it didn't involve cooking dinner. Turns out, that was a good thing.
This tiny restaurant sprang up in field a couple of weeks ago. Another opportunity to be seized before it disappears. I hope this one makes it, though. Serious yum.
Excellent cheeseburger experience. I broke with my pack and ordered the sweet potato fries--good choice. Perfect meld of slight sweet with salt and grease, just crisp enough, but tender and potato-y. The burger gets high marks. The patty was thick, good quality/flavor, cooked through but not dry. Liberal application of mayo. Leaf lettuce in bite size chuncks, two nice slices of tomato, several rings of zingy white onion, plentiful dill pickles slices. The buns were standard restaurant supply, but toasted, and it held up for the life of the burger. Prices were good for the quality ($4.39 cheeseburger, $1.39 fries/$1.99 sweet potato fries, $1.39 fountain drinks). Not much ambiance--three plastic booths and counter seating along three sides fill the interior a little to closely. But I like the mom and pop scene, complete with a very entertaining 4-year-old Abby in residence. And the bathroom was exceptionally clean.
All the Nockinbirds agree that we'll be back.
