March Madness: Weekend Options

This came into my inbox this morning from South West Texas Live. It's a plug for a Texas Hill Country BBQ joint that I've never heard of called Garven Store. Why do I post it here? It's for a purely selfish reason, I want to remember to try it on my next visit to the Texas Hill Country.

Before giving you the article here is a quick updates on March Madness: Dinner Thursday night was fussilli with a home made olognese sauce. Dinner Friday: Shrimp Scampi with Angel hair pasta. Tonight I may be breaking out the old Weber Kettle and grilling some chicken thighs or going skating at the new Lola Staar Roller Rink in the historic Child's Restaurant building in Coney Island. We'll see.
