The Devil and Max Made Me Do It!

Idle minds are the Devil’s playground.  It’s true.  I know from personal experience.  Used to be that when I would get bored, I would paint stuff.  Pictures, or t-shirts, my toenails, or the walls of my kitchen.  Then I discovered Ebay, Amazon, and Craigslist.  Boredom resulted in late night purchases of things I never knew […]

Squash Squashed

I hate squash.  Or did for the first 35 years of my life, anyway.  In fact, squash is the primary reason that I developed such a passion for the culinary arts.  I know that makes about as much sense as a fur coat in Tahiti, but it’s true. Growing up, my only exposure to squash […]

Pie Are Square, And Other Reasons I Hated Math

I was never good at math.  Like most girls, I excelled in verbal acrobatics and science, but math and history were, well, Greek to me.  Not surprising, I guess, since so much of what we know of math was first contemplated, theorized, solved, and proved thousands of years ago in ancient Greece.  Of course, there […]

Cookies and Ice Cream For Nola

I went to high school with  a guy named Rhett…Rhett was a nice guy, and a good guy, and had a phone number I will never forgot.  To make sure that number doesn’t become the next 867-5309, I won’t share all of it with you, but the last four digits spelled out S-N-O-B.  For some […]

There are hundreds of names for them, some more respectful than others.  But whatever they are called, everyone has a thing for breasts.  Women love them because of how they fill in their […]

Savour Texas: The DAD’s Chili Mix Throwdown

With the first signs of fall coming a little early this year in Texas, it seems chili was on everyone’s mind this past week, as the grocery store in my town was sold out of stew meat and chili ground. All of this turns out to be really great timing due to some fun things […]

What Is Honey Boo Boo?

Recently someone posted something on Facebook about Uncle Poodle and Honey Boo Boo.  Although generally pretty up-to-date on current events, I admit I had no idea what a Honey Boo Boo or an Uncle Poodle was.  So I Googled it.  If you are as clueless I was, here is the skinny and low down on […]

My Crack, er, Ambien Baby Turns One

One year ago today, I had a baby.  Not a boy baby, or a girl baby, but a word baby.  A bouncing baby blog that I named Texana’s Kitchen.  I’m sure she will change it the day she turns 16. Like most babies, she was the result of what happens when two loves come together.  […]

Tequila Makes My Brain Fall Out

  With the holidays quickly approaching, I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t at least broach the subject of booze.  I should also point out that I am no longer a regular partaker of the “spirit water”, myself, but I don’t have a problem if you do.  In fact, if you drink heavily, […]
