On November 15, I woke up like every other Sunday...head to Starbucks in ratty clothes, get a coffee and Sunday paper, and come back to the house to read and cut coupons (one of the best things about Sunday in my opinion). When I came back, Dan was at the apartment and was looking to find some kind of football on tv. After hearing the grumbling coming from the couch about the bad football selection and his horrible picks for his fantasy teams, I suggested we try a BBQ place in Tioga that I saw had been written up in the paper that day. Well....let me say, I'm learning you never suggest trying a new bbq place to Dan if you can't fully prepare to carry this plan out! I've just about never seen him so happy! We couldn't get in the car fast enough. We headed out to Tioga about 11:30. I wasn't sure about the crowd, seeing as they'd just been written up that day, but thought we'd hit it a little later than normal. Clark's Outpost is a very unassuming place to visit, just like Tioga. On the menu that day was an appetizer of fried cheddar cheese balls (yummy), brisket sandwich for me with potato salad, and ribs for Dan. All of it was really good. The sauce was served in Grolsch bottles and heated in water warmer...which some of the best bbq places do their sauce the same way I've found. Overall a very good experience. We drove around the town a bit and took a picture of the water tower...thought it was pretty cool!
These trips make me understand what this marriage thing is about...I absolutely love spending time with Dan. What makes me happiest is knowing that we enjoy the same things, and seeing the smile on his face makes it worth the trip....everytime!
