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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This past weekend was opening season for dove hunting in Texas. So begins 6 months of nearly continuous hunting seasons open in the state. It starts with dove season, and only a brief break in November will divide it with whitetail season. So what, you may ask? I’ll tell you so what. Hunting season in […]
Today is my husband’s birthday. Forty four years ago today, his mother was having her own Labor Day, of sorts. On his birthday, as I celebrate with him, I also pause to remember how we met, why we married each other, and how we stay together. It isn’t something we take for granted, and we […]
