Being a nice day and all, Frederick and I went out to the botanical gardens. One good thing to remember is even though the weather may feel like Spring, if it isn't Spring - it will show. When we got there some of the pools were not filled with water and there was more brown than green. Texas Winters, when they happen, are something to not be underestimated. When I went to Portland, about two weeks ago, it was much colder in Texas - freezing. I was able to enjoy nice 40-45 degree weather in Oregon. Point being made - comeback when it's been warm for a while and raining. Among other things, the Rosemary was growing nice - rub some between your fingers and smell away.
We decided to eat in the Barton Springs area , ultimately deciding on this place that had "BREWERY" in giant letters. We later found out that it was Uncle Billy's Brew and Q - Q referring to barbecue. I normally don't have much of an opinion of barbecue, it's just meat - right? First off, this place has more variety than your average barbecue place - burgers and chicken fried chicken, also a vegetable plate with decent options. They have a good selection of desserts - more than just peach cobbler. It's also a microbrewery and that served as the initial attraction. I tried the Agave Wit, which is an awesome Belgian style brew made with orange peels and coriander. The orange hits you immediately while the coriander leaves a great after taste. I must say, coriander goes well with meat whether it's cooked with it, or it's in a beer. You can really taste it after smelling a lot of rosemary laced fingers, I tell ya.
