Another beautiful Saturday. We wandered through some of the shops on North Lamar, including Whole Earth Provisions, which sells all sorts of high end "green" toys, clothes and gizmos, Jaya Furniture and its neighbor The Khazana, also a furniture store. We had success at Cheapo Disks, which is perhaps the best used CD (and LP, and DVD) store we've ever seen. And there was pretty stuff on the brick walls.
But then it was getting warm, and time for a frosty treat.
We made our way to Sandy's Hamburgers, located on Barton Springs Road since 1947. Sandy's was named for the daughter of the original owners, but has since been passed through the family and now sold. But Sandy's is still just a little burger joint in a shack. We were drawn there because it serves frozen custard -- an ice cream-like concoction that we had heard of but had never tried. We spent perhaps 15 minutes there, repeatedly giving ourselves brain freeze while a steady stream of people walked away happy with cheeseburgers and malts. Jon got the vanilla malt, so thick you needed a spoon (see picture above). I had the vanilla-chocolate frozen custard mix, delivered appropriately in a wafer cone. While it didn't change our lives, it hit the spot. Next time we'll try the burgers.
whoa there, you mean you went to sandy's and not P. Terry's? please make that you next stop. y'all won't regret it. (try a veggy burger.)
ReplyDeletesee ya next jelly!
Sandy's it was, although we did not eat a burger; only stopped in for the frozen custard. You're not the first Jellyist to give P. Terry's a thumbs-up, so that's definitely on our short list. Thanks for the recommendation!
