More fun recently with another great Foodie Weekend at the B&B….heavy appetizers & local wine on Friday night, chili cookoff at Windy Winery and cooking class at the B&B Saturday. The guests particulary thought the Savory Blue Cheese Cheesecake (recipe below), Viennese Osso Buco and Warm Banana Souffle were especially big hits! Lots of oohs and aawhs while savoring every bite…..

Windy Winery Chili Cook-off Near Brenham TX B&B

Another Texas tradition, a chili cook-off, was paired with Texas wines at Windy Winery last Saturday just down the road from Murski Homestead B&B, here in Brenham TX. There were 4 chili teams for the first annual event hosted by Auggie and Linda Meitzen of Windy Winery. John Beland, famed guitarist, was also on hand providing live music while we tasted and drank! The event, held outdoors, was fun, fun, fun and delicious to boot! Be sure to put it on your calendar for next year and stay at the ranch just a few miles down the road!

Mobius… That’s the name of Brenham’s latest addition to the food and nightlife scene, a brand new real deal coffee house. Located on Market Street it has real coffee house hours Monday through Saturday 7 am. to 10 pm. You can stop by any evening and the place is hopping. November 21, you will find Jenny Wood in concert! I enjoyed a Latte’ on my first visit and am definitely looking forward to my next. I am also looking forward to trying some of the enticing food offerred such as a Panini. I have had reports that the food is very good. Brenham offers lots to do! So, give it a try on your next stop in town….
