Deb continues to gain strength and mental sharpness. She catches me on more and more goofs! The old Deb is coming back. Her beautiful hair is now approaching 3/4" long and she asked me to trim some of the shaggies.
Our new family member (Oscar the dog) had his first barkless night and Vern had his first full night of sleep since he came.There is hope! One of us was heading to the basement otherwise!
Deb has been very tired since the chemo really kicked in and the two/week physical therapy workouts started. Something new happened this morning: She awakened me and asked to go out for breakfast: she was starving! Normally, she grazes mid-morning and I'm the early morning breakfast eater. Appetite is good?? We saw several church friends while at IHOP.
A Texas friend told me about a new Texas-style BBQ joint here in Ptc, so after work last night, I invited Deb to try it instead of my leftovers and she jumped at the chance! It was good to get some real brisket-done-Texas style and Deb had a huge 'tater with BBQ inside like we used to have at Strack family farm restaurant in Spring,Tx.
While based at Randolph AFB in the early 70's I used to drive out to a tiny country BBQ joint at the town of Schertz, Texas. Sooo good!!
For those who have not moved around much, BBQ is different everywhere. Each community thinks theirs is best, of course. How do you like your BBQ?

So glad to hear that you don't hear Oscar at night.
ReplyDeleteAs to BBQ...the best was outside of Milledgevile. They would put the pig on an open fire pit and tend to it all Thursday & night Friday at lunch it would be read. we would take a paper plate and a fork and dig into the meat on the pit, put BBQ sauce on it and weigh it. Buy a loaf of bread and ole slaw and beans and a loaf of bread and chow down..great food.
Diane Bailey makes the BEST S. Carolina BBQ and it is made with her LOVE!
ReplyDeleteVern, Bet you are remembering the "Smokehouse" BBQ on HWY 78 in Schertz. It was very close to the Sweat BBQ from our childhood. The Bill Miller BBQ at the corner of HWY 78 and Pat Booker Blvd was good for a chain of Texas style, but it took me some time to cultivate a taste for their brisket. Bruce
