I chose
Figgy Piggy my first time, but a NutPig anything could get me to back. My mom treated me to Amelia
Farm & Market, which boasts a
farm setting at Dishman Road and North Major Drive in Beaumont.
The pigs
eat pecans that grow around the area, so there’s that flavor going on. Then
there’s the outdoor setting and trees and potted herbs and the company. I
spotted a very prominent Rotarian from Port Arthur among the ladies who lunch.
The
sandwiches are in the $13 range and they are whopping good. Mine had red wattle
pork, homemade fig preserve, horseradish cream and baby Swiss on fresh-baked
sourdough. My mom got pork on pimento cheese.
I’ll
finally mention this place is basically a food truck parked in a tree-shaded
lot, and with a covered space for outdoor dining. A restaurant is being built
up around it. My mother has been several times and enjoyed herself.
There’s
something about the hospitality and the “goodness” of the experience that makes
you want to get to know the people cooking and serving for you. There was
hammering and sawdust and a
tractor chugging around. That was all mixed in with the experience of
fresh flowers, leaves rustling and flavors that made me close my eyes to
concentrate on they joy of them.
Coffee
grounds to the rescue
I don’t
want to go into a lot of detail, but I spent some time in an space that was not
“fresh” by any means.
I had no
access to my favorite remedy, essential oils. I saw an over-the-counter air
freshener, in pumpkin spice, no less. But they smell artificial to me and can
sometimes give me a headache. Then I thought about coffee grounds
I purchased
a package and poured some into a container and the area became fragrant. Then
later, I got to enjoy brewing the rest of the coffee to drink.
