Another weekend up in Mount Vernon. We got up on Friday afternoon and I immediately cut the grass and had a conversation with one of the ground guys who take care of the common areas. We discussed fertilizer. The stuff they use Ultra-green by Lilly Miller really looks like it works better that what I had used from Scott's. So, he dropped some stuff down on the front and back lawns and I watered. We will see.
We actually got some very nice rain in Mount Vernon, which we really needed. So with the weather being foul for doing much, we decided to run up to Concrete, Washington, which is located on Highway 20. Brandi was looking through our telephone directory (fun reading, right?)
and started talking about the bar and grill there called the Cajun Bar and Grill. I called to check on opening times, fond they were open for lunch, and we shot up.
Let me tell you, you do not have to go to New Orleans for good Cajun food. Having spent almost three years in New Orleans and the area, I can tell you this was some good eating. I had started with seafood combo, followed by cat fish and asparagus, hush puppies, and finished with a piece of pecan pie. My first thought was the pie was bit on the small size, but after eating it, I was glad for the size. Pecan pie is very reach and any more would have been over the top.
Brandi decided to have the crab ravioli and said it was delicious. I tried a bite and agreed. She finished with bread pudding. We both agreed we have had better.
Other that the above, all we did was read and listen to the rain come down. We each finished our novels, she a James Patterson (The Beach House), and I a Richard North Patterson (Degree of Guilt). Right towards the end of my reading, I realized I had read this book some time ago. This one scene just popped out and said "YOU'VE READ THIS." It happens.
Oh, we still own two houses. Yahoo!!!!!
