When Boobs Attack!

Boobs. Hooters. Ta-tas. Nah-nahs. Melons. Jugs. Headlights. Honkers. Rack. Chi-chis. Bosoms. Gazingas. Honkers. The Girls. The Twins. Tits. Pillows. Fun bags. Bumpy bits. 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 […]

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.  […]

A favorite re-run…one of my first blog posts.  Interesting to see how my style has changed since last October….. ******************** Obviously, I do a lot of cooking.  With the first signs of Fall hitting last week, that interest turns to baking and candy making, gearing up for all of the parties, feasts, gift giving.  Snacks […]

Eating French Food With a Texas Accent

How To Eat Ice Cream With Your Whole Body

This time of year, our thoughts turn to something, ANYTHING, to make us cooler.  No, no, I am not talking popped collars and wayfarer sunglasses kind of cool. Although let’s face it—those ARE still cool….I am talking boat drinks, water sports, and blasting the A/C kind of cool.  The temperatures are hovering in the triple […]

Beans, Beans, The Musical Fruit

So, up until this point, my husband has managed to escape any real significant embarrassment in my stories.  Oh, I have talked about how we met, and his less than adventurous culinary tastes.  I may have mentioned a drunken party foul or two, and I DID post that picture of him in yellow tights.  But […]

The Apple of My Pie

It is often said that cooking is art and baking is science.  Cooking was so natural to a right-brained, artistic type like myself.  I viewed a recipe as the canvas on which I would create my masterpiece.   A blank space to which I would add my own color with a pinch of this, or […]
