I got down and dirty at the Texas Motor Speedway this past Saturday. My friend BS came down from OK with her season tickets to the NASCAR. Saturday Z went with her to the race, had a good time. It turned out that the sneaky little thing hadn't mentioned to us that Saturday was her birthday! T and I took her out to dinner at a Romanian Food Festival where she promptly ordered hot honeyed brandy, which turned out to be very very strong! We both enjoyed the hot honeyed wine though, while T had Romanian beer. The food was good, different, interesting: cabbage rolls, something sauerkrautish with meat, weird sausage, a polenta-like dish that B thought was bland but that I liked very much. We brought home a pound cake with sour cherries in it for Sunday's breakfast.
Sunday B & I headed out early to the race; got caught in some traffic on I-35W so it took us a while to get there. It rained a bit as we were arriving, but they got out the jet engines and dried the track so the race wasn't too late starting. It was a typical race - spin-outs, wall-crashes, a blown engine and a blown tire. B's favorite driver, Tony Stewart, totally dominated the race and then won, so it was a nice birthday treat for her.
She and I always have a good time together, and we went ahead and planned another adventure while she was here. In February, we'll fly to Chicago for a Josh Ritter concert! No, she has not become a stalker! B's never been to Chicago and wants to see it, so this seemed a perfect opportunity. *smirk*

Both down and dirty? Well good for you!
The dishes you had sound wonderful. I love central/Eastern European food. Glad B had such a great day.
Didn't think B was a stalker. You now, whole different matter.
Ooh, Lu-Cee Stalker :p
Nice that B and you will go to another Josh gig, Lu-Cee!
Oh, I forgot to ask: BS? BullShit? :p
