After the proposal (hooray!), we went out to dinner at Flying Saucer. They have something like a gazillion beers on tap, but the food is way better than your average bar food. I had a really fantastic salad with spring mix, cranberries, walnuts, goat cheese, balsamic vinaigrette and some other stuff. Delicious! But the best part, really, was the Rocket Tots. Essentially, they were gourmet tater tots with cheese and peppers in them. So freaking good! Man, now I'm thinking about them and I want them. The good news: there's a Flying Saucer here in Austin, too.
After dinner, we went to the Astros/Brewers game (our original purpose in going to Houston; Pat's excited we live closer to an NL team than we did in Boston so he can occasionally see the Brewers). It was a rough game for Brewers fans (6-2 Astros, and even that makes it sound better than it was), but the park is beautiful and we had a good time.
After the game, we went to Shay McElroy's Irish Pub, had a few drinks, and watched a bit of the Hornets/Spurs game. (Go Hornets!)Sunday morning, before getting in the car for the three-hour drive back to Austin, we went out to Birraporetti's for a jazz brunch. The "br" food was pretty damn good (as were the desserts), but the "unch" stuff was not fantastic (the vegetarian options, anyway).
The End.
