Poteet And Pat

Poteet Strawberry Festival.

Those three words get me so hyper and excited that most people in my family know to not say them unless the other necessary three words (Yes, we're going.) follow IMMEDIATELY. 

Anyway, I went today to the small town of Poteet to partake in the wonderful festivities they have there that center around the locally grown strawberries of fame. And once again, I was not disappointed. First order of business was, of course, the chocolate-dipped strawberries. After that, it all went uphill. I had a glorious time with all of the food that was at my disposal (or rather, arms reach to devour). Especially the strawberry bread, sold by the Poteet Fightin' Aggie Band. And let me tell you, I was never prouder of band geeks than those selling that absolutely delectable strawberry bread. It. Was. Marvelous. Looking for a recipe for that is actually on my to-do list now. It was that good. I went back for seconds. Why do I keep going on about strawberry bread? Because it has changed my life. ...Or taste buds. Whichever works.

And then, at 5 o'clock (Haha, 5 o'clock, appropriate timing...), the Pat Green concert started. A free concert. It was his first time headlining at Poteet Strawberry Festival, and he did not disappoint. He, and his band of merry Texans (except for the bassist from Richmond, VA, but we can excuse him since he lives in Austin now), put on a spectacular show, and got me in the mood for Texas Country yet again. And I walked away with the replacement for the CD of his that was stolen back in high school. This was a huge deal for me, and I'm happy about it. I get to jam to Pat Green again.

All in all, the day was great. Let's see what the night brings.
