3-12-2013 Tuesday Breakfast Tacos and Fish Fry and Fire Department

For the last breakfast in Zapata this winter Gary and Evelyn chose for us to go to "Stripes", home of the 99-cent breakfast taco. 

Breakfast taco----homemade flour tortilla filled with scrambled eggs (at least two) with choice of ham, bacon, different sausages, beans, anything "Mexican". 

After a stop at the grocery store it was home to break out the bucket and brush and soap!  The four of us jumped in to wash Gary's pick-up truck.  They need to be able to see out the windows for the trip north.

They will be leaving in the morning between 7:30 and 8:00.  The weather forecast looks good for them as they travel.

This afternoon Fred and Gay brought crappie fillets and the appropriate utensils to fry those fillets.  Gay made hush puppies and cole slaw.  We provided baked potatoes; Evelyn made tartar sauce.  Oh, my, what a delicious meal.  Fred had caught the crappie here in Falcon Lake before getting serious about bass fishing. 

We were so full we couldn't even eat the homemade fried pies Gay brought for dessert.  Thankfully she left a pie for each of us for later--as in tomorrow!

The Jam Session had an unexpected turn.  During the second half of the session the smell of smoke became pronounced.  The RV park office was called.  The manager came down and toured the rec hall.  The smoke was still strong; the manager then called the fire department.  There was no smoke but the smell of smoke was still in the air when everyone left.  The fire department was still there looking things over.
