Howdy Yawl!!Know that is a Texas greeting. Yes us Texan have our ways of speaking, such as fix n to take a bath, or fixin to makes dinner, or takes a nap. Ya'll come back now you hear. We also have great food. We smoke meat here slow and long. Nothing better than a smoked brisket with a nice crisp crunchy crust, not burned mind you but crispy. All the fixins to go with it. Potatoe salad, cole slaw, baked beans, sliced onions, pickles, and jalapenos. Too further wet your appetite let's talk CHICKEN FRIED STEAK now that's a Texas legends. A piece of cube steak battered and deep fried than smothered with cream gravy with a side of smashed taters and corn, and homemade rolls. Now that's good eatins. We are also proud of our Tex Mex food having a close friend who is a American born Mexican has shared with me her homemade enchilada's and chili gravy yummy. Then we have the Gulf of Mexico, abundance of seafood, oysters, crabs, shrimps, fish. Having roots from the great melting pot, I have a diversity in many cuisine there is Cajun, French, Italian, Irish, German, and Indian. My all time favorite is my grandmothers hot water cornbread. A fried piece of cornbread goes great with Irish stew or vegetable soup.
As Texan we love our beaches and water sports. Beach volleyball, surfing and sunbathing.
When the suns begins to fade we have long strolls walking barefoot on the sandy beach, letting the warm tide rush your feet. Our night life, none better we have the Texas Two Step, The Cotton Eyed Joe, and our famous Waltz across Texas. Beverages of choice good beer and good bourbon. Then we have lots of great wines. Drive through Texas vineyards down around Fredricksberg area. Many tasting rooms that will surprise your taste buds. Lots of antiques shops,and many bed and breakfast.
Our men folk still open doors for the ladies, a strong handshake is a mans greeting and most important a gentleman's agreement. Most Texan men do wear ten gallon hats or a baseball cap with their favorite sports team. Daily wear is a nice fitting pair of jeans,evening comes and off with the jeans and dress shirts and pants. Cowboy boots are always appropriate attire. Ladies well we do make a fashion statement. We have manicures, pedicure for beach, city, country, casual, evening, apparel. Our everyday appearance is like a daily spa treatment. We always look our best. Being women that's what we do best.
Well today being Sunday, means Football Texans have a bye week, I will be rooting for the them Nawlin Saints. Hmm what a fun place the crescent city. Now there is some history I might just have too renew my inner french Cajun roots. I see a road trip in my future.
Till next time yawl. Be sweet and safe. Come visit this itty bitty piss ant town.
Yall come back now yous here.
