Whew, what a fun day we've had and it ain't over yet!! Spent a few hours walking around the Historic Market Square, picking up goodies that we certainly don’t need, but everything is so colorful, couldn’t resist. Lots of presents for next Christmas.
Stopped at the 24 hour restaurant, Mi Tierra & Bakery in the market – we had eaten there 8 years ago and the bakery is just fantastic and I try to buy new things. This time, I bought one of each to try:
Pumpkin Candy
Sweet Potato Candy – didn’t care for either one
Crème cheese campechanas – loved these
Limon rigalo – with a cinnamony/sugar coating – oh boy were these good.
Moved on for more walking and got to La Margarita Mexican Restaurant Oyster Bar for a seafood platter (a fried white fish, oysters and prawns) and Tequila sunrise & Bloody Mary. Finished that off with a huge soapapilla – YUM.
By then we were exhausted and headed back to the trailer for a glass of wine, put our feet up and read for a little while. Now we’re getting ready to go to Podna’s Catfish & Po’Boys - can you guess what I'm having??????
So, a little nightlife in San Antonio and then on to Fort Stockton and New year’s Eve.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
