Maple Glazed Bacon and Sausages serves 4 regular folks, or 2 hungry cowboys 6 slices thick cut bacon 4 oz smoked sausage link (beef, pork, or turkey) 4 breakfast sausage patties (spicy if you […]
As White-Tail Deer season is wrapping up in the Texas Hill Country and most of the campfires have been extinguished, it is time to reflect on the good times the season brings. Oh, the tall tales that have been told, of the big one’s that got away—the 185 B/C with double drop tines and 10 inch […]
There are two kinds of Pasties. One is the self-adhesive variety that dancers wear on stage. Not classically trained dancers. The other kind. They may be purchased in the same establishments that sell 6 inch platform heels and miniscule under-garments. This kind is pronounced paste-ee, which rhymes with tasty, although I am pretty sure they […]
In the South, we have a particular fondness for using terms of endearment, and we don’t reserve them just for those close to us. We use them everywhere, at all times, and to anyone. If we don’t know your real name, we’ll call you Sugar, Sweetheart, Sweetie, or Darlin’. If we know your real name, […]

The crazies have been out again, promising much amusement and horror for your reading pleasure. If you follow my Spamorama and/or Why Are You Here pages, there are few new additions.. Peace out!
Funny what you remember, sometimes. I can’t tell you what I had for breakfast two days ago, but I remember, verbatim, the audio tapes we used to listen to in high school French class. “Où est Phillipe?” “A la piscine.” “Avec Luc?” “No. Avec Anne.” “Où est Sylvie?” “À la bibliothèque.” So, in case you missed […]
Getting creamed is usually not a good thing. In sports, it would mean you lose. Badly. Not a close game. And possibly the game is called early, due to the ten run rule. OUCH! In the South, and if you are a vegetable, getting creamed is good. Very good. You see, in the South, if […]
