It was a very different Halloween {Scout's birthday}.
I wanted to stay a little closer to Rustown this past weekend, but around lunchtime on Saturday we decided to head over to 12 Fox in Dripping Springs for lunch.
The crispy pork tenderloin tacos (schnitzel!!) were the bomb. We might also have eaten a warm cheese-topped soft pretzel too quickly for me to snap a pic of it.
And their pumpkin dark beer was so good. The weather was perfect and the place was busy but quiet and just an all-around pleasant place to be.
We only stayed a couple of hours and we made a note to come back soon. We enjoyed a firepit and a bottle of wine at Rustown, then watched Nightmare Before Christmas. What a weird Halloween.
The next day I worked on a few putsey things around the house. I am deep into holiday planning! I want to have Christmas gifts purchased and made and wrapped by the end of November. In the afternoon we headed over to Rising Sun Vineyards in McDade.
The weather was just as perfect as the day before. We enjoyed their first estate wine - a sparkling rose - and Hubby bought a couple of cigars to enjoy. They had live music, wood-fired pizza, and are generally the friendliest people ever - they remembered me from writing an article about them for the Texas Wine Lover website and we chatted them up for a bit. We will definitely return later in the fall. Back at home I fixed dinner and POOF the weekend disappeared like it always does. But this coming weekend we will leave for Highlands on Friday and hopefully it won't be full of to-do lists and chores - just relaxing.
