Put the kids to bed, get the dog to babysit, and head to the Tempest Lounge. I went in “really quick†to get a cookie. Yeah, right. That’s like me trying to take “just a sip†of beer.
The choices are: Sugar, Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, or Peanut Butter. This is NOT an easy decision. It takes 10 minutes to bake these puppies fresh, so there was no “real quick†about the ordering and baking process. This is the part where you belly up to the bar and order yourself a hot toddy. That’s exactly what I found James Hume doing.
The smell of cookie goodness wafts through the Tempest, giving all patrons an instant cookie addiction. They were ordering them simply from the smell, not even knowing what hit them. And why not? You can’t beat the price for what you’re getting. Three fresh, large, warm, ewy-gooey cookies for $4.
Then I glanced over to the wall behind the pool table. I saw the massacre remnants of what should have been a snowman coloring contest. It was an adult playground of insanity is what it was.
Tempest patrons along with local artists such as Teddy Haggarty and Houston Wimberly crafted the abominable snowmen on display. They paid $5 to enter the contest, and Tempest-ites can pay $1 per vote to push their favorite drawing to victory. The winners will receive T-shirts, gift cards, and special surprise Tempest treats. And by “surprise†I am led to believe they mean naked pictures of Diane.
All money raised by the snowman coloring contest will benefit the St. Luke’s FISH Food Bank. Although other donations are being accepted to send Michelle to art school where she will learn to make white trash disco balls out of plastic Dixie cups. â€" Steph DeRosa
