As a 1/2 Norwegian, that sounds like an awesome day. 

There are 1/2 Norwegians?

My dad decided he wanted a good German girl. We don’t talk about it too much.

Doesn't Norway have a required military stint for all males and females and issue a rifle(HK417?) to keep at home for all those that have served?

That’s Switzerland I believe.

I read this as furriers and just assume you had found another new fetish.

There’s always a new fetish to be found...

Looked it up. Norway's compulsory military service for both sexes is less than a decade old.

I’d go with Smitty’s only because it gives you a very close look at how the cow is cooked in Texas. The poor kid is likely to melt if it’s summer like hot so have him hydrate. Lol.

I dunno.  Kreuz has a variant of the Smitty's experience and the barn thing is vaguely impressive in its own right.  And the food is liable to be much better.  Seems the best compromise.

Correct. Our student just got her letter.

And we nailed the day. I’ll post a follow up in a bit. Wrapping up dinner in Gruene right now.

Girls had prom last night, so we let them sleep in, which meant a little bit of a later start. We got to Blacks around 1:00, line was fine. And we loaded up for 8 of us:

Beef ribs were beautiful, and on point.

And, some lagniappe- they had a kickass Texas swing quartet playing in the back room. We got to listen and sing along to some Bob Wills, Merle, Johnny...it was seriously kickass music.

Then, we loaded up and went to the gun range. We cooked through a lot of ammo, taught them to shoot a bolt action, a semi-auto, and a lever action. And they all got to shoot a pistol (brought my S&W). Even let one of em wear it. She wanted to pose in the bluebonnet patch out at the range - she put on the boy’s hat for the shot:

Shot some skeet, too. Shut it down after a couple of hours. Weather was perfect. Headed up to Gruene, drove some back roads, rolling country with beautiful scenery. Stopped at DQ for a dip cone, was a nice break.

Got to Gruene, let the ladies wander some shops, walked down to the river, then ended up back at Gruene Hall. Listened to Bill Kirchen fucking SLAY with his Telecaster. Seriously, he was incredible. Danced a bit. Drank some beer. The kids shot pool.

Shut down Gruene hall, grabbed a burger across the street, and headed home. Perfect freaking day.

Might want to wipe the grease off the camera lens

They’re Norwegian. Fed them chicken fajitas and refrieds last night, and they said they were the best tacos they’ve ever had. So, yeah, they’ll be happy with anything. But still, wanna do them right.

Probably the only tacos they've ever had, ammirite?

If you haven't had a lutefisk taco, then you're just not livin' right.

Surprisingly, tacos are a thing in Norway.  They actually have them a lot.  Unsurprisingly, their tortillas suck and they really don't know what they're doing.

No thanks. I live in Houston so I’m all good on my recommended allowance of harmful chemicals.

They’d been traveling for 20 hours. I figured they weren’t yet up for a beer and cognac (they brought gifts)-fueled Brisketexan rant yet. I’ll let them acclimate first.

 

Now that you say they drink, I was thinking to remind you of that little brewery on one of the corners there. Cara Cara. Nothing beats a day trip to have 2-3 beers before pigging out on BBQ. Personally I switch Black's and Smitty's pretty regularly. Smitty's sides are a joke, but I haven't had terrible experiences with their bbq so I still visit.

Edit: well fuck me I just made it to page 2. Hope they enjoyed.

In other words and enterprising Mexican could do well in Norway.  Or even a white boy like me who grew up in the RGV and can cook like a Mexican.

 

BTW.... Did she like the BBQ?
