Break Routine with a Drive-In Theater Date Night

It’s Saturday night. You’re probably contemplating if you should go to Gringo’s and wait 2 hours for a table or just get some Raising Cane because that secret sauce is so good! Of course you’e not, no sir! Because we all know that Gringo’s is not worth it and that sauce is a weird mix …

Country Drive to Secret Barbecue

Texas offers something free for everyone to enjoy – a country drive. Country drives offer more romance than any Danielle Steel novel – though I am not sure about that Mr. Shades of Grey dude. Girls get all giggly when they mention him for some reason. Back to driven’!  I like to take Texas up …

Firefly Hot Sauce – The Best You Never Had!

This is a Texas blog.  Texan’s like their hot sauce.  I have easily tried over 100 different types of hot sauces.  Too many Texans think they like any take-your-pick cayenne hot sauce from Louisiana, or wherever.  But we will forgive our brothers and sisters, for they have not been introduced to true quality.  Made only from …

Texas Music Round Up : Artists and Apps

Is it me or is Texas Music having a huge year?  We seem to be emerging from a darkness that descended upon the genre and many of the big names were getting signed by Nashville.  Pat Green, Randy Rogers, Cross Canadian Ragweed to name a few.  The record producers stripped what we love about Texas Music and …

Lucky Cypress. You have Jitterbug.

Not just a great coffee house, Jitterbug cafe is the best restaurant in Fairfield (Cypress, TX).  Too often this establishment is passed by when local residents ponder where to fetch some nourishment forgetting that it serves much more than coffee. Walking into Jitterbug, you are quickly greeted by inviting smiles and warm welcomes.  The entire …

Camping 101 : How do I camp?

I used to not know how to camp. I would often ask, “How do I camp?” Then I finally found nothing is more relaxing than being outdoors, next to a fire with a cold beer, with good company.  No technical obligation, just the open world around you.  A sunrise on a cool morning and off …

Caprock Canyons State Park

Driving across the Texas panhandle is a long stretch of seemingly lifeless planes.  You can pretty much take the entire state of Indiana and fit it into the panhandle.  Keep on the interstate and you’re bound to see much of nothing.  Land stretches in every direction as far as the eye can see.  However, I …

My First Lone Star Beer

I used to be a different person.  Trapped in suburbia pretending I was turning into someone I was not.  A friend of mine was a Lone Star Beer rep and offered me a beer at a pool party.  I shunned it, for I was a pretentious jack-ass who thought I only liked micro brews.  Trying to be someone I wasn’t …

Donkeys and the Birthplace of Texas

Experiences make memories.  Imagine experiencing something, having the time of your life, but knowing you wouldn’t remember.  Experiencing new things and making memories is what life is all about.  The more you have, the more you are fulfilled.  But these experiences, or memories, need to be meaningful.  You are not going to have fond memories …
