Buc-ees - Beaver Nuggets

 Recently, the Revenuers and Federales were crawling all over the creek. So it was time to get out of town for a few days. The wifey and I decided to head out to Houston to hang out with a grandson and lay low. Had some good time and good eats for a few days. After a couple of days we decided we ought to head back to the creek but should do it in the middle of night to avoid detection. We start out of Houston about 10:00 pm, first destination Buc-ees in Madisonville, TX. It is a given that if you are a Texan and your are traveling you stop at every Buc-ees. 

One other item about Buc-ees I have not been so sure about. Some friends have informed me that is mandatory to buy Buc-ees Beaver Nuggets and other friends have said they are nasty don't bother. Now this is confusing. The only real way to sort this out is to get a bag of Beaver Nuggets and chomp on them. Since I needed snacks for the long trip home I bought a bag. Of course I also bought a few cookies and a cinnamon roll that is really really good. So I had options on the way home. 

I busted the bag open and started chomping on them. My opinion is this is a weak copy of Cracker Jacks (remember those). Basically they are a little sweet air. Not much else. I can see their value, but there are better snacks in Buc-ees.

Whataburger - WhataWings

The wifey and myself went to Hungry Heights this morning to work on our home there. You know you can't have enough homes for when the revenuer or Federales are looking for you. While there, we worked like rented mules. That means we worked really really hard. When the sun peaked straight up like I like my coffee we determined it was time to grab some grub.

After a brief conversation the wifey decided we were going to Whatburger and I said "Yes Ma'am". So off the the orange building with white stripes. 

When we got to the counter to order an add for the WhataWings came up. I have been seeing the adds in the store regular for awhile and had never tried them. But after working like a rented mule I could afford the extra calories so I went for it. They have 4 flavors, honey butter, honey barbeque, sweet and spicy and buffalo. I went for the sweet and spicy. 

Whataburger is officially in the wing business. The chicken was near perfect, the breading was very good and the sweet and spicy was sweet and very spicy. These wings are just as good as the wings in the Wing Restaurants. If  you haven't tried them, you owe it to yourself to get on down to Whatburger and check out the WhataWings. Yum, Yum.

Crown Block on top of Reunion Tower

 Today I was down at the creek, fishing for mud cat, catching crawdads, shooing water mocassins away, and having a high'o good time. Then I see the wifey coming down just a hollering at me. When she gets to me she grabs me by the ear and starts dragging me outta the crick saying some kind of nonsense about it being our 47th anniversary and we were going to celebrate. I thought I was celebrating, but I guess not. So she informs me we are going to eat high on the hog tonight. I got excited again, cause a hog produces some good vittles. Bacon, Ham, Bacon, Ham, pulled pork, etc. Come to find out she meant some fancy upity restaurant that is up in the sky. Of course we made it 47 years because occassionally I do what the wifey says.

So off we go. I am not going to say this place is high class, but when you get on the elevator to go to the top, there are NO BUTTONS TO PUSH. We get up to the top and they take us to a table with full table cloth, cloth lap napkin, more silverware than I know what to do with. The waiter comes and the first choice is filtered water, mineral water, flavored water, water bottles, etc. I started to ask if he had a water hose I could drink out of, but I didn't, you know this is a special occasion apparently. It's filtered water for me, no spiders please. Then he left for us to consider what we would want to drink. Are you kidding me, I am a southern crick dweller, is there anything else but ice tea?

He finally comes to take our order. The wifey orders an 8 oz filet mignon of Certified Black Angus. I didn't take a bite of her steak, but it was melting in her mouth and was so tasty she didn't want any sauce on it. Wow that must be good.Of course we are on a diet to watch our good looks instead of having them out in front of us, so no sides for the wifey. 

As for myself, I have a problem processing steak, so I ordered the Rosewood Ranches Wagyu Burger with white cheddar cheese, red onion marmalade, truffle aioli and brioche bun. It also came with triple cooked fries which I ate one just to see how they tasted. The burger meat was just as good as that there filet mignon the wifey is drooling over. The other toppings had almost no taste, but it is because the meat was so good. The triple cooked fry was very crunchy, but it really needed some of Mitcho's homemade fry seasoning to make them real good.

 Then came the main event. The wifey ordered Turtle Creek Peanut Butter Bar. This thing looked heavenly. I didn't really get a report on how good it was, but that was because the wifey was scarfing it down very fast. I ordered the Sam Houston Chocolate pie. This is a chocolate pie with whipped cream on top. If Sam Houston had some of this back in the day, he probably would have led the Texas troops past Mexico into Central America. Man, the chocolate in this pie was so rich I had a headache after eating it. Of course the whip cream was yummy and the pie crust was very good. 

Overall, this was a very tasty meal. Of course it should be, I traded my horse and two cows to pay for it.

But seriously this was top of the line grub.

Black Bear Diner - Mesquite

 Recently some long time known associates came down to the crick and grabbed me up and said they were taking me to Black Bear. I was sure we were hunting for Black Bear. What a rush. I was already figuring out how I was going to take a Black Bear down and have me some fresh meat for weeks. Never mind there are no Black Bear with hundreds of miles. Then I realized there was some new fandangled restaurant called Black Bear Diner. 

I had heard tales about this place but had never experienced it myself. So I buckled in and let the good times roll. 

This place is basically known for it's breakfast. As far as I am concerned breakfast begins and ends with biscuits and gravy. Plenty of salt and pepper. So I focus on the biscuits and gravy on the menu. 1200 calories!!!! Two biscuits and gravy has that many calories. I gotta see this. So I ordered the biscuits and gravy. Nothing else. Man 1200 calories is a lot for one meal when you are on a 1500 calorie a day diet. 

My known associates ordered some kind of fancy breakfast that looked yummy when they came out. They raved about their meal. 

Back to biscuits. When my meal came, the biscuits were the size of a horse apple (softball for the youngsters). I am talking huge. They were covered with plenty of gravy. The biscuits tasted better than most biscuits even if they were bigger than big. The gravy had a great flavor. This was some really good fixins. Next time I will take the wifey with me and have her eat one of the biscuits. There is at least two meals in this order.

So if get a hankering for biscuits and gravy and don't think you can get full, mosey on over to Black Bear Diner and order their biscuits and gravy. I am betting you are fried mud cat full before you finish what's on your plate.
