Today's Adventure in Texas, Parte the Firste.

Quihi is a tiny little town in an out of the way part of Medina County, between Castroville and Hondo. Despite being fairly old, founded in the 1850s, there's not a lot here outside of the general store, historic gun club, a nice church and a collection of old German style pioneer homes.

That was my nickname in high school.

There is hope for rural Texas, yet.

"When I was a child and the road was dark
"And the way was long and alone
"My heart would lift as I turned the bend
"And saw the lights of home."

It's watching you....

Quiet day today. Mom had a house party last night, and took today to recover. One of the things that's hard to watch is your parents getting older, and realizing they're a lot more tired more quickly than they used to be.

Today's Texas Food: Burger Boy

Whataburger may be the best in Texas, but Burger Boy is the best in San Antonio.

Obligatory post to make my Seattle friends and family jealous.

First time I've ever cooked for a group and in a large quantity. And I think I did pretty good!

Today's Texas Adventure: I've never had Laptop spark when moved before. That's not good.

Fixing up the old computers. They're not powerhouses by any means but Linux Mint seems to be working way better than Windows.

Their names are Tarin, Marin and the other two will likely be Mamasha and Tracy.

Why yes, there's a theme....

Jollibee. Jollibee. Your chance to shine and you landed flat on your face.

My mom and I are notorious fried chicken snobs. We both consider Church's Chicken to be top of the list chicken. And I consider Jollibee better. When I found out San Antonio had a Jollibee nearby, I decided to give mom a chance to try Jollibee chicken and really wow her.

And...it was just so dry. Not the least bit juicy. And was lacking any salt. The Seattle Jollibee was so good...And here it was just meh. Really disappointed....

The pies were a big hit, though.

🎶 Looooong loooooong maaaaaaaaan! 🎶

Today's Texas Food: Schlotsky's

Yes, it's another chain. But it isn't in Washington. And it's an Austin original.

Honestly, I should learn how they do their bread. The rest is just cold cuts.
