Not All Burgers Are Created Equal

Thursday, May 17th, 2012 at 10:44am. 45 Views, 0 Comments.

Coming soon to our town is a new outlet for "the perfect cheeseburger."

Well, Renee and I have never had a "perfect" anything to eat so we had to get a preview by going to Austin for our first Hat Creek burgers. I enjoyed a traditional burger and Renee had a turkey burger. On a scale of 1 to 10 we both agreed our food scored near the top and definitely worth repeat visits.

Here's what Hat Creek Burger Co. says about it's product. "(We) were founded on the idea of the perfect cheeseburger. We
make each burger authentic to the core with all natural Premium Gold Black Angus beef. Known for its tenderness and flavor,
Black Angus beef is used by all the finest steak houses throughout the country. Our beef is ALL NATURAL, meaning no anti-

A Bite From Growing Georgetown Cuisine Scene

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012 at 1:54am. 57 Views, 0 Comments.

We experienced a real treat this noon at one of Georgetown's newest eateries, Wasabi, Japanese and Chinese Cuisine. Three of us shared Kung Pao Chicken, Kung Pao Shrimp and Beef Fried Rice off the Lunch menu. Each meal came with soup and since it was a first experience we each ordered a different flavor. All were tasty and a flavorful lead-in to our entrees. We like hot spice, thus our meal selections. A generous serving of each dish filled all of us and we took plenty home in a box.

Wasabi is a definite repeat for us. A Big Thumbs Up!

While we stuck to items we were familiar with for our first visit we will definitely try more venturesome items including delicious things from a vast sushi offering. We have made sushi an evening event. No…

Mustard Cabbage Bullies Wildflowers

Sunday, April 15th, 2012 at 11:51pm. 107 Views, 0 Comments.

The mild winter has been great for wildflower growth as well as its nasty enemy, Bastard Cabbage. It is spreading along roadsides and fields with its dainty yellow flowers. They can grow taller than waist high. It is robbing the bluebonnets and other wildflowers of sun and soil nutrients.

The bluebonnets seedlings that manage to take hold of the soil in the fall may reach 12 to 18 inches tall, but the bluebonnet is no match for this lion.

Bastard Cannage

Bastard cabbage, also known as turnip weed, is troublesome in Central Texas. This invasive weed takes hold of disturbed or cultivated lands but experts fear its growth in natural areas as well.

Contaminated grass seed mixes may be to blame for its introduction in Texas. To make mattes worse, one seed can germinate quickly,…

Great Wonders of The 21st Century

Friday, April 13th, 2012 at 3:47am. 102 Views, 0 Comments.

I got caught yesterday in the horns of a delima; the Masters Tournament from Augusta National was the event of the afternoon but, we needed to get on the road to get back home today in time
to get some important work done.

My iphone was all I had in the car and CBS Sports updates of the leaderboard every 15 minutes was cause to squirm. So, I got bold and began to surf my options on the desktop menu only to find that
last year I downloaded a free app of the Masters. Oh, in case you think my head was into the day's events too much, I did ask my wife to drive while I played.

Good news! The Masters app had a few-second delayed video stream of live play. Yes, I got to see the shot of the year from the pine straw deep
in the woods to within 8 feet…
