Samson in Branson
At 1:30 PM on Wednesday, December 19th, my bride and I were off for Branson for a quick one night stay. Samson was showing at the Sight and Sound Theater and we were going to see it this evening. Driving nonstop it took us 3 hours and 15 minutes. After arriving at our motel we settled in, had a snack dinner that we brought with us, and walked laps around the parking lot. The snack did not quite satisfy Chris, who needed some fries. We drove to McDonald's where Chris scored her fries while I enjoyed a chocolate shake.
We arrived at Sight and Sound Theater at 7:00 for the 7:30 showing of Samson. It was decorated for the Christmas season including a humongous fake Christmas tree outside the front doors. Warm pecans covered with sweet goodness were indulged in prior to the show. Samson was very entertaining. I enjoyed it despite the excessive singing and dancing and the fake fight scenes. Chris enjoyed it all. The sets were extraordinary.
On Thursday, December 20th, we enjoyed a complimentary breakfast at the motel before heading out to do some shopping. We visited the Craft Mall, Branson Landing and Dick's 5 & 10 before leaving Branson. A short distance north of Branson we stopped in Ozark, MO at Lambert's Cafe (home of Throwed Rolls) for lunch. For years we wanted to eat here but every time it was too busy for our schedule. Today they seated us immediately.
True to their word, they threw delicious warm rolls to you from across the room. Chris and I wanted to split a meal but were informed there was a $10 split charge, which was nearly the cost of the meal. We decided to order our own meals and take home leftovers. Chris ordered chicken tenders. I ordered fried chicken livers.
Two sides came with the meals (we both chose green beans and pickled beats). In addition to the bounteous meals people walked around offering fried okra, macaroni with tomatoes, fried potatoes and onions, black eyed peas and, of course, as many throwed rolls as you want. They offered sorghum molasses for the rolls too. It was all LARRAPIN good and we had enough leftover chicken for three more meals!
Shortly after we were seated Chris waved at a roll thrower indicating her desire for a roll. The roll thrower made a quick behind-the-back pass that came in fast and high but Chris, with her quick reflexes and athleticism, made a nice catch.
Great show, great company, great food and a great trip!
