Amulet's birthday!!

Hello everyone!

Today is Amulet's Birthday!!  
To celebrate, we went and visited St. Arnold Brewery here in Houston.  I don't drink, and David rarely drinks, so we've never visited anywhere like it, and it was definitely an experience!

You walk through these giant ornate doors, and walk up the staircase that reminded David of his elementary school and me of a prison, and then you are at the 'Beer Hall'!  For $8, you get 4 tokens (for 4 glasses of beer usually) and a St. Arnold Brewery cup.


On either side of the hall, you can exchange your beer token for a beer, or in my case, root beer, and then you can go back to your table and hang out with your peeps, eat some food, play games, and enjoy the general chaos and the beer.


We brought some cake, chips and guac, and some other finger foods, and played some board games!
With the birthday girl!  =D

The boys getting really into the game (and the food  haha)



It was such a fun afternoon playing games with wonderful company, and celebrating the roomy's birthday!

So, Happy Birthday Amulet! Hope it was a wonderful one!
(Sorry the camera focused on the balloons and not yo face.. still learning how to use the camera, obviously  haha  =p)

My First Real Texas Style BBQ

Hello everyone!

Yesterday, I got to experience my first Texas style BBQ!
BBQ isn't really a part of the culture in Seattle,
so when I got invited to Rick and Berk's house for a BBQ, 
I had no idea what to expect.

Now I know.
If you are invited to a Texas style BBQ, my friends, this is what you may find;

30 pounds of pork (incredibly delicious!),
a yard full of people chilling, each with a bottle of beer in his/her hand,
a mini game of ultimate frisbee,
a whole lot of cornbread (3 different types, no less),
blaring music,
meat,
some watermelon if you have people like me and Amulet coming to the party and bringing fruit along with them  lol,
did I mention meat?
and a whole lot of chilled out socializing!


so many grills!  and 1 of 3 different types of cornbread.  Also, frisbee in action.

Meat that's been cooking since 7 am.
so. good.

more grills and beer

This skillet over the grill with bacon boiling in its grease really captures the essence of the party lol


this picture = epic.  it's all in the details, people. lol

Thanks Rick and Berk for such an epic evening!  =)
Couldn't have asked for a better first Texas style BBQ experience!
Happy Sunday!
