Dinner and Movie

If you are in the Austin area and want some great Bar b' que, you must check out the "Salt Lick" in Driftwood, TX. The ribs, sausage and brisket are excellent as well as the beans, cole slaw and other goodies. It is a long drive to get there but the Hill Country scenery is awesome. The smoke pit is inside the building and you can see the mesquite fire and watch the meats cook to perfection. After a stop to DQ for a blizzard and malt we stopped to watch the movie American Carol. You will laugh all the way through and finally enjoy a decent movie that makes fun of Mike Moore. Check it out!
One more note of interest. I always had a hidden desire to learn to dance. Going to wedding receptions in the past I felt awkward watching others dance and not being able to join in. Well, I've learned the Texas two step. the west coast swing and the cha, cha, cha well enough to get out and have some fun. This has been a real joy to get out and have some different kind of fun. So if you ever get around the Midnight Rodeo in San Antonio, there are lessons on Sunday nights and afterwards good country music to step your heels too.
