 Life
in the country in TX has some unique differences from
city life. One of the biggest of these is the absence
of fast food restaurants; therefore, most meals are prepared
at home. To say that mealtime is important in our household
is an understatement - it is the high point of our day!
Meals have been a time for us to gather together, sometimes
for hours, laughing and talking. Our bed and breakfast
inn guests are always welcome as well. Regardless of whether
we eat in the kitchen, on a sailboat at anchor, while
lounging on a riverbank, or
while taking part in a truly decadent affair in the beautiful
dining room, mealtimes are part of the glue that holds
our family together. |
 |
|
The dishes on this menu
are some of the family's favorites. The flavors range
from French to Italian to Mexican to Caribbean gourmet.
Whether you choose to grill the food yourself or allow
us to serve you in your guest cottage or picnic area,
these recipes are tried and true and are guaranteed to
engender that extra romance and pampering that a home
away from home should provide. |
 As we are also busy TX ranchers,
we do have two requests:
1. Please make your choice a couple of days in advance
of your arrival
2. As the meals are served family style, please limit
your choices to one entrée per group. If you
have any special requests, we will try to accommodate
you - just ask!
3. All dinners include salad, delicious fresh
vegetables that complement the meal and a luscious dessert.
