Out of Town Sunday; Only Time for One Joke

I’m on the road today, home tomorrow. Enjoying the first big rain in south Texas in years! We gotta go clear some trees that are down on the road or I won’t be home tomorrow. So in the meantime, here’s a good bad joke for you…

Boudreaux, Thibideaux, Pierre, Trusclair and Old Man John were playing [...]

Friday Follies, the Louisiana Edition

People in Louisiana accuse Texans of being mean to Cajuns. That’s a damned lie base canard. We aren’t mean, and we don’t make fun of Cajuns. We simply observe and report the facts…

It seems that kids in South Louisiana don’t know they’re Cajun. So the state held an essay contest. Morgan Builliard won with [...]

Fish 4 Friday: Spicy Shrimp and Sausage Jambalaya

Okay, let’s get right to it. There’s no way we’d be allowed to hold Cajun & Creole Cuisine Month without at least one jambalaya recipe. It’s a very old rule (which somebody just made up). It’s probably even illegal; or at least fattening. So, we’re doing jambalaya first.

First, the history. (You DO come by [...]

Friday Follies: Avoiding the Leftover Hotdog Blues

I was cruisin’ around Slashfood yesterday and saw this post. Man, there’s some good eats on that grill! The poor slob grill master working those lovelies was in a hot dog cookoff, and he didn’t win. My first thought was, how could you NOT win with bacon? Seemed like a complete miscarriage of justice [...]

Happy Eightieth Birthday, Dad

It’s been another hectic week, with so much going on this summer. Travel, research, and good eats, all taking place during one of the hottest summers we’ve had in decades. With so many distractions, it might be excusable to forget a few important things.

One that didn’t slip by, though, is my dad’s birthday. He [...]

Next Stop, Hades, Part Deux: Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong, Oh Boy!

The Roadtrip to Hell Great China Expedition continues from previous post…

Six hours later I was in line to load up. I peeked out the window at our aircraft: A brand-spanking new, Boeing 777-300ER. Not the expected “Queen of the Skies,” my favorite 747. Oh well, I like the Triple-Seven well enough. Just so I [...]

Next Stop, Hades; or How I Spent My Summer Vacation Trying to Get to Hong Kong, Part One

Today I attempted the impossible, or so it seemed at the time: I set out on a (relatively normal) business trip to China via Chicago and Hong Kong…

I got up at 3 A.M., as I needed to be at the airport at oh-dark-milddle-of-the-night to catch a United Airlines flight to Chicago. Which brings about [...]

Follies Extra: Free Chick-fil-A This Friday!

This very important news, just in to the Chile Underground Bovine Festival Watch Desk: The 5th Annual Cow Appreciation Day will be held on July 10, 2009. Chick-fil-A will give free food to anybody idiot enough who dresses up in a cow costume and shows up at their restaurant during business hours on Friday. [...]
