Brasa Brazilian Steakhouse

Our anniversary dinner. First you do the hot/cold buffet. Stuff like salad, jumbo shrimp, rice and beans, chocolate drizzled strawberries . . .














Then they come around with something like 12 different kinds of meats on spears and cut off a piece for you. Pictured is not meat, but pineapple cores coated with sugar and cinnamon then blasted with a blow torch. Yummy.


Our waiter really wasn't a pupiless zombie, it's just a poor cell phone pic.

Coyotes of Morrisville

Hard to believe, but some neighbors said they've seen a coyote in the subdivision, and not the kind that dances on bars, the furry kind. Range maps show that coyotes don't habitat east of the Appalachians but, lo, if there wasn't an article on WRAL.com back in August that says coyote sitings are on the rise all over the state. They've even been spotted in downtown Raleigh.

Wikipedia says that coyotes will mate with domestic dogs, but I don't think that's what Princess and 100Percent dogs have to watch out for.

To scare off a coyote just make a lot of noise. Don't worry. I will.

Coyotes are a much worse problem in California where people feed them, making them unafraid of humans.

Some Summer Events

For you Coffee Crisp Lite readers in the Raleigh area, Thursday is Watermelon Day at the State Farmers Market. There will be a $600 prize for the largest watermelon, a watermelon eating contest, and a visit from the NC Watermelon Queen.

Saturday is Gourd Day. There is no Gourd Queen; imagine that.
