Captain
Ron’s Seafood
“Are
you the captain?” my husband asked the man at the counter when we walked into
Captain Ron’s Seafood.
“I am,”
the man confirmed, proving that my husband continues his knack for asking the
obvious.
The
Captain confirmed he gets that question all the time. He’s new to the Westcourt
Center, 6385 Calder in Beaumont and we ate there, as guests of my mother, two
Saturdays in a row and saw old friend there each time. She’s such a fan she’d
already tried a weekday lunch special and her dining partner is recruiting more
customers.
My
mother ordered several things so we could cover the menu with tastings and we
rate bacon and cheese shrimp kisses No. 1. The bacon is fried, too, and it dips
into a horseradish- spiked cocktail sauce for more pop. Even the fried onion
rings, okra and French fries have an extra kind of crispness what will keep us
coming back. If you meet the captain, ask him about oyster nachos.
Nuts!
A photo
of a squirrel nibbling this season’s abundant acorns made the Houston
Chronicle. The story says maybe this past season’s drought helpd trigger the
plethora. Everyone here is talking about all the acorns, and maybe it’s the
same reason pecans are tasting so
good. If you know anyone, perhaps in the great city of Groves, who needs help
picking their pecans, offer your assistance now.
Get
Popping
October
is National Popcorn Poppin’ Month, like I need a calendar to be tempted. But www.popcorn.org has some crazy good ideas
that need to be explored. The Popcorn Board sent ideas including Key Lime Popcorn
Clusters made with chopped graham crackers, marshmallow crème, butter and lime
peel. Nacho Mamma’s Popcorn gets a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, cayemme
pepper sauce, garlic powder and sea salt.
