What We Did This Weekend: The Bryce Experience
With Brookie's little brother spending the past week with us, we had a pretty full week, not to mention a fun weekend.
We wanted to treat him to the full Kansas City experience, so with brought home some Jack Stack Barbecue last Monday for dinner. He loved it, of course.
Wednesday we took him to the Royals game. Since they blew a four-run lead in the last three innings, he was truly able to experience the true meaning of being a Royals fan. During the game we made it to Kauffman Stadium's "Outfield Experience" where he got his first taste of Sheridan's. He liked it so much that we went for more frozen custard Thursday night too.
Friday night we took him out with us to experience my favorite pizza, Waldo Pizza.
Saturday held a trio of new experiences: the Farmers Market (the one downtown, not the weak one in Lee's Summit), The College Basketball Experience, and a lesson in Southern culture later that night.
Our trip to the Farmers Market was one of our more successful visits. We tasted some cucumber salsa, got the recipe, and bought the necessary ingredients to make more at home. We also purchased a pie from an Amish vendor, and some bread and peaches from some farmers.
After the Farmers Market, we decided to give the College Basketball Experience a try. I think we chose a good time to go. With it not being college basketball season, we hardly ever had to wait in line. We paid the cover charge, and went inside to shoot free-throws, call highlights at the mini ESPN-U anchor desk, shoot three-pointers, and throw down some monster dunks of our own. There were so many fun things to do. On one of the billboards outside it warned that, "this is not a museum - you may sweat." We did.
Saturday night we got to experience some great Southern food when we went to a friend's house for a birthday party. One of my favorite dishes was the grits with shrimp and sausage. So good and so much fun.
And that's what we did this weekend. But now we're in Nauvoo with Brookie's family, so I'm lucky to have found an unsecured wi-fi connection to get this posted. An updated menu and C.O.W. will have to wait until we're back to the non-camping comforts of home.
P.S. - Brookie would like to add here that we hate camping.

Hate camping? You've just got to try some roasted licorice, then - it makes it all better. You should ask Bryce about that. I know HE knows what's up.
ReplyDeleteRoasted licorice? That's sounds good! I always microwave my licorice but this really intrigues me. Is there a special technique for this? I need to try that of which you speak.
ReplyDeletePS. Licorice should only be of the black variety. That red stuff is just candy.
