ANOTHER GREAT MEAL AT THE OST IN BANDERA!

The routine is the same for us each Sunday morning- call the OST (Old Spanish Trail) to see what the lunch buffet is today. That is important because that call determines where my husband an I will have lunch that day. If the OST is having something that I don't like (turkey and dressing for example) then we go somewhere else for lunch. I've called each Sunday morning so often, that Linda (the hostess with the mostess) already knows it's me (by my phone#) and just tells me what the buffet is that day.

Well, today was roast beef, broccoli with cheese, boiled potatoes, succotash, ribs, rolls, plus a salad bar with potato salad, jello and pudding. Who could ask for better? And only $7.95 per adult, such a deal!

The night before, we were greeted with a new menu with higher prices on all menu items at another of our local restaurants. Bandera has yet to see $2.00 for a glass of iced tea, tho, I guess we're pretty lucky at that.

When we got to OST, the place was jammed pack with people, with a waiting line crowding the entrance. Lucky for us, we were ushered to a select location near the entrance before anyone the wiser. I could tell it was a happy crowd of tourists because the din was way louder than usual. There has been times when I couldn't even have a decent conversation with my husband because of all the words floating around the room at once.

I relished every bite of my meal, unfortunately my hubby had to wait 30 minutes for his made-to-order omelet. He gobbled his down rather quickly tho, so I guess he forgave them.

All in all, it was a fantastic lunch, I always see someone I know, or one of my clients- so I get to catch up on news and also get a chance to talk with Linda and my favorite servers (you know who you are). Life in a small town is grand- I look forward to next weeks buffet!! Hope it's baked chicken!!
