Views of the Neighborhood – Time Scavenger Hunt – Part Two

~ John W. Howell

Welcome to part two of the Time scavenger hunt. It is only fitting in the new year that we give time it’s due. So we will be looking for clocks number six through ten. If you missed one through five last week, go HERE. Today we are catered by Bangers Smokehouse of Austin. Our entertainment is Pink singing Time After Time.

The Corned Beef Hash Sausage Sandwich –

House-cured 6 day corned beef ground w/ potatoes. Stuffed it into a beef middle & smoked for 8 hours. Sliced, seared & put on a Martin’s potato roll. Topped w/ an egg, American cheese, sauerkraut & Russian dressing. Served w/ a side of spicy shoestring potatoes.

A proper Texas-sized breakfast! Four pancakes, two seasonal breakfast sausage links, two eggs, shoestring potatoes & a side of real maple syrup.

Smokehouse Fries w/ An Egg –

Salt & Pepper fries, smothered in cheddar, hand-pulled cheese curds & topped w/ a rotating cast of our smokehouse meats. Served w/ ranch & house barbecue sauce. And since it’s Sunday, and since we like the cut of your jib, we’ll throw a farm-raised free-range duck egg on top for you. How’s that sound?

And as always, anything on the planet that you want to drink.

Picture of an old time school bus

There’s the bus. Let’s go.

Our first stop is a path next to the lake. I see a green trash bin up ahead.

I knew it. Clock number six.

Still, on the path by the lake, I spy a grove of trees. That is always a good place to hide something.

Sure enough. Number seven.

See that picnic bench a ways off? I’ll bet there’s one located there.

I must be clairvoyant. Number eight.

A playground is a good location.

Yup. it paid off.

There is a parking lot up ahead.

The location for this poor thing.

I hope you enjoyed the hunt and now here is Pink. Enjoy the song and the food. I hope you have a great week.

  1. I like the walkway by the lake. You’d think more people would be there. (too cold?)
    I took the Texas Peach Cinnamon Bun. I was thinking about peaches the other day and looked around the internet for a chicken-peach recipe.

  2. I woke up way too early, thanks to my son’s cat purr-singing at my bedroom door because she was hungry. Needless to say, I had to give in after an hour of this. Also, needless to say, I was hungry and that first item is exactly what I am now craving. Sigh. There is nothing remotely cinnamon bun-like in my house. Love the clock trail. And Pink’s rendition is lovely. Happy Sunday, Boss!

  3. Well done, John. I like that they have activities like this to get people out and moving. I after following you around, I’ve worked up quite an appetite. I’m going for the Pancake Platter. When in Texas…right?

  4. Time after Time…a beautiful closure to the hunt. Love that song. As for breakfast, I wouldn’t know where to begin, maybe a modification of the super deluxe. Yep, waiters love me. 😁

  7. Impressive! You have very resourceful and dedicated people, John! Congratulations! Of course, the sign of the community is also on every information sheet, so that no one can do anything stupid or joke. 😉 Thanks for sharing, and have a nice Sunday! xx Michael

  11. A fun day! I´ll have the avocado toast, or maybe the Texas peach cinnamon roll or the Pastrami Cured Salmon Bagel. I can never decide. I love Pink´s version of Time After Time. I saw Cindy Lauper sing it in person. A great song and perfect for this post. Happy Sunday.

  17. Holly Hannah, that’s an amazing menu, John. The peach cinnamon bun sounds divine, even though a pucker just thinking about how sugary sweet it would be. All of the items sound good.
    This part of the tour is at least as lovely as the first. Your photo of the trees with the distant picnic table is splendid. I love those trees. Hugs on the wing!

  20. John, you make these scavenger hunts look easy!! Thanks for letting me accompany your group. Looks way warmer there than here (we had ice yesterday, rain last night, and today’s 30 degrees but feels like 15 — I’m ready for Spring!!)

  31. I couldn’t decide as per your menu, so Imma take one of everything and just enjoy the hell out of them over the course of a week’s time. So what if I’ll have to add another ten minutes to my run, it’s worth it! And that path by the water, it’s so calming to me. I would definitely run there.

  32. Clocks? Time stood still when I read the menu. Think I’ll have the Pancake breakfast. Hubby would go for that Cholesterol Crazy deluxe thing at the end. Oh but I need a side of those shoestring potatoes, just to wash down the ‘cakes’. 😉 Would anything to drink include an Old Fashioned? Congrats on the clock sleuthing!
