the final fish taco, Russian house, and a sunset party at Trudy's four star
FTN (fish taco night) is done! for years we have enjoyed monday nights at berryhill baja grill. a fish taco is $1.99 on monday, one is usually enough to feed each of us. it was an easy, and cheap meal option for us. the whole family always enjoyed it. #2 son is constantly requesting that I make our future home in wimberley like this place, "I want it to be just like Taco-Fish, with the big windows and concrete".
after nine years, they are now closed. they were glad to have us, "I'm so gald you came in one last time! let me take you to your regular table".
so long "taco-fish". (#2 son likes to reverse the order of some words. he doesn't say "you forgot to say please". instead he'll say "you got-for to say please". our monday night fish-taco dinner has always been "taco-fish" to him.)
we met up with some Yelp friends to try a new RUSSIAN place downtown.
meat jello!
I was happy to find Staropramen on draft! this is real Pilsener made in Praha (Prague). I have enjoyed many of these close to the source there in the czech republic. I understand the brewery is now owned by Coors.... I guess that explains why I suddenly see it here in the USA.
that small glass is NaZdorovye (vodka infused with Aloe, Ginger, Garlic, Horseradish and Propolis). it was pretty good! some of the other infused vodka tasted more like listerine. they have a wall of crazy infused vodka concoctions.
these little meat filled buns are almost like a Runza, but there was no cabbage and tasted a bit like liver. the other had egg and scallion. dry is the word that comes to mind.
Kat really enjoyed the smoked duck and salmon.
cheers comrade!
Trudy's Four Star rooftop sunset party:
the BIG trudy's in dripping springs has a glass elevator. we've long been curious about where it goes. we see people going up... but we were told it's for private events on the rooftop deck. they finally invited us to a sunset watching party to celebrate the one year of that location being open.
the kids were thrilled that we finally got to board the elevator and go UP.
and we did receive a nice sunset.
Wimberley:
didn't spend much time on the wimberley project. I DID get a new chainsaw and it made short work of tall cedars.
I'll let you in on a secret. I found that boy's belts are unnecessarily expensive and made from exceptionally craptastic materials. one day I had an epiphany, I'd found a heavy duty dog collar on sale. sure enough, it works well as a belt and is nearly indestructable. $15 for a crappy belt from the kid's department or $5 for a dog collar... nevemind that it says Top Paw on the buckle.
