Great balls of what?
Had a great dinner last night with Cyrina and Jason in Denver.
We went to the Buckhorn Exchange in Denver. This place has been around since 1893 and has Colorado liquor license number 1. The steaks were huge and great, but we went there because it was mentioned in the book 500 Things To Eat Before It’s Too Late.
Their specialty sounded intriguing and since this is the new me I decided to try it for the first time ever:
Jason looked on in amusement while Cyrina took the picture. However, he didn’t try them and Cyrina did.
What was that stuff, you say?
Prairie oysters – and don’t bother. They just tasted like some breaded and fried “stuff.” Nothing to write home to mother about :-)
This morning had a bagel and coffee with Cyrina (thanks for that and the accommodations, C.) then hit the road.
The most interesting view in all of Nebraska and half of Iowa was probably here:
I’m not sure which state that was, but it definitely was not Colorado or Utah.
And the lack of sensory input probably explains why I ended up driving 835 miles today and am just on the west bank of the Mississippi. Where I may stay for a while, as the Interstate 80 bridge across Ole Miss. is closed, so I’m going to have to detour south. May make it for lunch tomorrow, anyhow, Nicole – I’ll call once I’ve crossed the river.
You certainly have more guts than I do. Don’t think I’d have the courage to try the “Oysters”. You seem to be whipping along. Do the windies make alot of noise? They look kind of neat. Have a safe trip.
Brave man, Hal! I’ve tried similar, but didn’t know what I was eating. You’re right, they don’t taste like much. But once I knew what I’d eaten, have not tried since.
You’ll be running into more construction here…including our street.
Drive safe and keep Nicole and I posted on progress.
Safe travels.
Jeff
I think you’d need a lot of flavor in the batter to probably kick it up a notch, but yea…too fried for me! I would try anything once though.
Have fun down south ya’ll!
Hi Hal sounds like you will be here any day. Are you going to stop be for a day or 3? All is good Rick is doing great. Miss you drive careful.
Hey, MeShelle – great to hear that Rick is doing well!
I’m going to stay here at Nicole and Jeff’s for about a month, then expect to hit Myrtle Beach for a couple of days about September 16th or so. I’ll give you some advance notice when I’m ready to leave.
Looking forward to seeing you.
My first reaction to “Prairie Oysters” would be well received by bulls everywhere. But on the other hand, given that you drove 835 miles the next day makes it worth reconsidering…
Sounds like a fun time in Chicago with Nicole and Jeff. Cheers MK
I think I woulda gone for the steak.
Have a great trip!
Once a prairie boy,always a prarie boy.Stay cool,man.
