Poor Reds

Steven has been craving some Ribs from Poor Reds. It is off 50 in Eldorado. I think that is in or near Placerville. I have never been , Steven has gone before with his parents some time ago. We went with Steven's parents. We got there around 4:30 ish but the place did not open for dinner until 5. It is a bar but in the back there is an area with table so you can eat. The menu is small but I have to say the food was not that bad. Since we were early we had to wait in the front bar. When you walk in, is stinks, it is kinda an old smell... I dunno if that is the right word? The place was pretty packed. People drinking of course. There was this guy there, It was clear that he had been there for some time if you catch my drift. He was really loud and he kept slamming his hand on the bar and laughing, It was pretty loud. So, he comes our way ( he was headed to the men's room ) I could not get Andrew to stay still for anything. He was hopping from seat to seat. So, this guy comes along ( and of course since he is a little ....tipsy ? ) He decides to talk to Andrew. He is slamming his boots and giving him some Hi- fives and being really loud and was really close to Andrew.. like in his face. I think Andrew was not too sure about him. He was giving him Hi-fives but none the less was like who the hell are you? He finally heads off to the bathroom and Andrew was a little taken back by him I think because he wanted me and was doing not allowing me to remove my arms from around him. Well, out this gut comes from the bathroom.. and yep, you bet he stopped AGAIN to talk to Andrew. lol. We soon find out his name is Jack.. he stayed a little longer this time , talking to Andrew. Showing him his cowboy boots. Andrew got a kick out of that because he has a pair that he just loves. Andrew talked his ear of for a bit. Jack went back to his seat and you could tell he was talking about Andrew from across the way.. I mean he is too cute , of course he was right? lol ....j/k! Here comes Jack again. He gets real close to me and puts his arms up as if someone was going to pin you to the wall and in my ear asks if Andrew can have a Roy Rogers. He wanted to buy him a drink -lol. I was not sure what that was so I asked him and I said sure as long as Andrew wanted it of course!
BOY did Andrew want it. Since he had already made buddies with Jack , you can say that Andrew was quick to take the offering. Jack helped Andrew take the first few sips since the glass was full and Andrew's eyes got really big. I must say I tried it and that thing was pretty tasty. I see why Andrew was enjoying it. Andrew gave him a big Thank you! That kept him occupied until we got out table. It was may 3 min and it was ready. However, man oh man did we pay. That guy was so wired off that thing he yapped the whole way home! And then some !! It he did not have a nap either so he was in bed promptly at 8pm. So... here I am blogging our day.

On the way home we stopped at Sam's Club since I have never been. Pretty much the same as Costco ( which we were at earlier that day for grocery shopping) We got a case of butt wipes, some pens, a Cars book for Andrew and some Grape jelly. Costco only has Strawberry, Steven likes the Grape - lol-.


For the record I must say that Poor Reds is good, but I do not think there Chicken can touch my daddies =))).
