Check our diet and recipes section for a new chili recipe. Zach posted one there not too long ago.



what? no live mouse recipe

Neph says I need protein---wonder if the mouse is a good source?  :rofl;

Thank you, Monrein....

I think sometimes it's only a sense of humour that keeps me sane, although there are plenty who would dispute my definition of 'sane'....

Nice to meet you!...

Ok, here's the mouse story:

Back in the old ages when I was a kid, little boys could not take a "DARE".  I had an older and bigger sister who not only "Dared" me, but it was a "DOUBLE DOG DARE".  I don't expect you young people to know the ramifications of a "DOUBLE DOG DARE" but ask around.

Luckily this is one of those Family Yore memories.

You people have been so nice and so inspirational (for the most part).  I spent some time this morning thinking about what a good life I have had.  Sometimes the past can be debilitating, but at time like this is can also be comforting.  Therefore I’ve decided to list ten things that have made me happy just by living in the city of Houston.

1.   Mexican Food
2.   Going to the Houston Live Stock and Rodeo Show
3.   Being able to drive to Mexico on the weekends
4.   World Class Restaurants
5.   Going to the opera and stopping by the beer joint on the way home
6.   High Speed Car Chases (not as many on LA, but some really good ones)
7.   Blue Bell Ice Cream
8.   Bevo – well he’s usually in Austin but so was I (Hook Em Horns)
9.   It is most always warm weather (I lived in Wyoming a couple of years)
10.   Bubba Burgers (for the uninitiated they are Buffalo Burgers)

If I had 11 the next would be that here, it is OK to be boring…

Watch it!  If you mess with me, I’ll come up with more stupid lists!

what about living close to the Monument Inn and the Texas Battleship -
easy drive to Benno's in Galveston and eating almost on the water
and Rockets
and Cowboys football
and Texan A&M ( have a son on the team )
and Longhorns --- we were before bubba became an Aggie
and not going to the opera but still  having a beer joint on every corner --- 105 in Conroe
and Friday night football
and the Astrodome -- then not now
and the Woodlands  -- I live in Conroe in River Plantation
and being able to surf on Christmas

Yall probably already know anything and everything there is about me really but here is my list anyways:

1.   I am the youngest of 6 siblings but I only grew up with 3 of them (on my Mama's side)........2 sisters and 1 brother
2.   I have 2 beautiful cats named, Tipper & Sandie.
3.   I try to think of at least one thing everyday that I am blessed to have.
4.   I was the only one of my siblings to graduate highschool or college.
5.   I was not close to my Father as they divorced when I was 3.
6.   My Mama whom I affectionately called, "Miss" was my best friend!  She passed away 8 years ago!
7.   I do not like cauliflower.
8.   I love gravy-n-biscuits anytime of the day!
9.   I did not learn how to drive until I was 19 years old.
10.  I can't stand the sound of someone clipping their fingernails OR toenails!  gggggrrrrrrrr

You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.    I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SOOOOO TRUE!
