BBQ BBQ BBQ

Unique weekend: Friday lunch catered by Dreamland BBQ, with Brunswick Stew, potato salad, macaroni & cheese, tossed salad, & banana pudding.

 

Saturday night we ate at Smokehouse BBQ in downtown Alpharetta; had beef brisket, rice pudding, and grilled vegetables.

 

Sunday in Macon we ate BBQ from Cookout. They give you a heaping helping of chopped brisket, with fries, cole slaw, and hushpuppies. Also a Heath Bar toffee milkshake. I was full. I wasn't a fan of Cookout to start with, but maybe now that I'm finally figuring out what to order perhaps maybe they aren't that bad, as far as fast food places go. The one on Macon was running a dollar special for either a double burger or milkshake of the month. Their dollar shake would make it the best in class. Didn't realize they print Psalm 3:5-6 on their cups and bags. No locations really convenient for me.

So got to eat BBQ three straight days. Reminds me, I need to pick up some BBQ Sauce at the grocery. When the doctor took blood I asked what blood type I am, and he said B…B…Q.

Not much on Friday night. Ceil cooked beef tips and mixed vegetables. Cleaned upstairs on Saturday morning. Ceil had lunch with a friend. Moved downstairs and fixed ham quesadillas. Laundry, straightening, MASH, NFL shows on Ditka and Mike Singletary.

 

Saturday night we went to downtown Alpharetta for a concert on the lawn. Beautiful weather, no rain. I had seen where the bad storm had passed though Atlanta. When we arrived at the concert venue in Alpharetta it was sunny and hot. After dinner the sun had dropped below the town buildings, and we looking south we could see clouds passing from west to east. Turned into a nice cool evening but no rain. A faith-based, bluesy type songs by singers and backup band. Got there early and walked over to Smokehouse to eat. Got home before ten.

 

Drove down to Macon to see my parents on Sunday. Ceil had made a ham & egg English muffin sandwich for breakfast. Was so full from Cookout that I didn't eat supper. Man I wanted to watch that Moon Shot show on CNN. I hear there's another movie on Netflix: First Man, about Neil Armstrong. Played by Ryan Reynolds. I had read the book.
