FD’s Grillhouse

Feb12

Fish Daddy’s has gone a little bit upscale. It is now FD’s Grillhouse. The food was wonderful tonight and it was a good value. I had the fried calamari, grilled snapper, baked potato, steamed broccoli, and iced tea. The inside remodel has made for a nicer restaurant, and for some reason the blue lamps caught my eye as they quietly hung from the ceiling.

The Big Short

Feb11

This film is an oddly brilliant storytelling about a few groups of professional investors who predicted the fall of the financial packages that were wrapped around a very risky mortgage market. It provides some very good insights into the banking industry and the pain that was felt by the world as markets tumbled.

Hutto Co-Op Market Nights

Feb10

This may be the world’s smallest Market, but the bonus is a nice sunset behind the neighboring grain silos. I found a small Valentine’s cookie to purchase, took some photos, wandered around, and had dinner in downtown Hutto to finish off the evening.

Torchy’s Tacos

Feb7

The best way to waste away a Sunday. Wake up super late and have brunch at Torchy’s. Go to a Super Bowl party. Sleep more. P.S. Torchy’s has the best tacos!

Hot Rods and Hatters

Feb6

The Hot Rods and Hatters put on a great car show in the square of downtown Lockhart today. The sun was out in full force and made for some interesting photos. There were tons of classic cars, booths, people and bands to enjoy. As you can probably tell from the photos, I am partial to the Ford Mustangs. 🙂

Caldwell County Courthouse

Feb6

The Caldwell County Courthouse is a photogenic place. I like to walk around the Square and admire the architecture from all different vantage points.

Black’s Barbecue II

Feb6

The Original Black’s Barbecue in Lockhart may be the best BBQ joint on the planet. My lunch today was simple – pork chop, brisket, black-eyed peas, and iced tea. If you ever find yourself within driving distance of Black’s, please check it out.

Sandy Creek Park

Feb5

I took a short sunset hike along the shoreline at Sandy Creek Park this evening. This small, quiet park at Lake Travis might be a good spot for a swim in the summertime.
