Canton Comes To Blanco 01/14/20

Blanco State Park, Blanco, Texas

He who loves a quarrel loves sin. ~ Proverbs 17:19a

Good morning, Blanco!

Today seemed to be all about food.  One of our favorite things!  We went into town, where Blaine gave the Jeep a very much needed bath after our drive yesterday.

It’s hard to tell, but I’m not sure the Jeep’s ever been this filthy before!
Looking through the open passenger side window.

We went to a small grocery store and found Sugardale bacon!  All the way from Canton, Ohio!  We bought two just because it’s the best and we’ve never seen it outside of the Akron/Canton area.

We also took a risk and bought some t-bones that were on sale.  I know, I know, we swore we’d never buy grocery store steaks again, but they looked good and they were Texas beef, so . . . .

Marbeling looks decent enough.
This thing was huge!
We thought it was peanut brittle, but it’s a little different than that, because it’s soft.
We didn’t buy it. We just touched it. : )

Then there was the stop at the bakery next door to the campground.  We’d been reading about kolaches (originally brought here from czechoslovakia), and they advertised having them, so we stopped and bought two.

Hard to describe . . .
They’re sort of a cross beween a donut and a bagel with pie-filling fruit
and a token amount of cream cheese swirled on top.
We may try them again, just to see I f these were made well, but we weren’t terribly impressed.

We did take a short hike in the campground to try to compensate for at least some of the food we ate today.  😊

Can you believe that?!?
Pay special attention to the middle row of information.
They have these gauges at most of the water ways we’ve come across today.
Now that’s a table fit for a king and all his subjects!!
Doesn’t this look like an old prairie house? : )
Swallow nests under a bridge we walked under.
There are several of these dams in place here.
Erosion control

Our gamble paid off!  The steaks – while not steakhouse quality – were tasty and edible!  Especially after being grilled over Blaine’s open flames.  The potatoes were good too!  No melted potholder today.  😊

Watching over his fire
Grilled to perfection!
Stale marshmallows that we put in the fire. : )
Coloring added . . . : )
