Several times a year, we rent a cabin for our kids and grandkids to come and hang out together. We normally go to Beavers Bend in Oklahoma for a long weekend in the fall. A month or two ago they opened the dam at Beavers Bend Lake, which flooded most of the Beaver's Bend area. So it may not be an option this fall. So I have been looking around for other options. I had found a couple of possibilities around Lake Whitney. So this afternoon we took off for Lake Whitney to mess N gum around and look at cabins. Here is why you do that. On the internet one of the cabins looked like it was off by itself on a pretty large piece of land. When we got there it was in the ghetto.
Of course the official rule is, if you are within 50 miles of West, TX, at any hour of the day, you are obligated to go to the Czech Stop and fill'er up. So we did the Marinu to the Czech Stop.
The Czech Stop is a Shell gas station with a Czeck bakery in it. This place turns out some smacking food. There are copycats nearby, but there is only one Czech Stop. Don't be fooled.
As normal, I went for Hot Chubbies with Cheese. I bought 5 of them (2 for tonight and 3 for lunch on Monday). The Hot Chubbie is a home made roll, that would be heavenly by itself. Then they put a hot link they made in the middle. Man this is some great tasting sausage with plenty of hot peppers. To top it off, it is also filled with a great tasting cheese. I have been eating these for over 20 years. I am looking forward to the next 20 years of eating Hot Chubbies.
The wifey got a ham and cheese and she has been eating these over 20 years and is sold.
To top the evening off, I also bought 3 cinnamon rolls (1 for tonight and 2 for breakfast Monday morning). This is the absolute best cinnamon roll I have ever eaten, bar none. I am talking about being loaded with a great frosting, but the real reason to get one is the cinnamon is thick and mixed with frosting throughout all of the rolls. Every bite is a little bit of heaven.
The last time I went to West, we drove there for dinner with no other reason to be 90 miles from home.
So figure out why you might want to get yourself to Waco, Lake Whitney, Hillsboro, etc and while you are down there swing by the Czech Stop and get you a little piece of heaven for you. While you are there, you might as well buy me a half dozen Hot Chubbies with Cheese and a half dozen Cinnamon rolls.
