On the day after Valentine's day Janae and I went to Lock Stock and Barrel with Todd and Maria and Drake and Eleesha. We walked right in to a 6 person curved booth that was a tiny bit cramped in the corner but fit everyone very well as long as the oversized cupboard door menus were off the table. We ordered drinks; wine for the ladies, beer for Drake, a Jack and Coke for Todd and a McCall oatmeal stout for me, The beer was very heavy and chocolatey and took a while for me to get into it without food but the unpersonable waiter with the un memorable name took long enough that I had finished it before my cedar plank salmon showed up. (Salad bar and bacon wrapped scalloped devoured). In one of the waiters hurried passes I ordered a Mexican Coffee. He had no questions about what it was and gave me a curt "sure". The drink came out quickly in a clear irish glass bar coffee mug, which appears to be the standard serving glass for warm coffee drinks from the bar. The look was pretty much identical to the one I got from Jalepeno's however the flavor of the coffee was stronger with less alcohol and I could taste both tequila and Kailua in it. It went down easy and quick, most likely because of the lack of alcohol but maybe also because the oatmeal stout was so strong. Quick: good company, average drinks and mediocre service, if I ended up back at lock stock and barrel sometime. I would order a different drink.
Somehow we decided to go to cowgirls in Kuna for some dancing. I ordered and drank a beer of some kind and finished Janae's corona, which was like water. Then I finished the night with a watered down rum and coke and some dancing to some pop song on a dance floor of less than beautiful women that would have even seemed out of place even at The Balcony. I coughed out more smoke the next day than I drank alcohol at cowgirls. This was a last in a life time visit to cowgirls for me
