TexasT's House

[toto1013]

Gramva, I hate to tell you this, but it was you that got sick over by the big plant in the corner - three times. Sorry about that. But that special dance you did was something else and I'm sure it will stick in my mind forever!

And hon. I don't have breasts. But I do have nipples. And they are itchy, sore, kinda burning and real uncomfortable. But no breasts.

There was an old lady a couple towns over who had decided to end it all and got her .38 out and was gonna shoot herself in the heart. But she wanted to find out exactly where her heart was so she didn't mess the job up and called the doctors office. The nurse explained that it was right below her left breast, so the old lady thanked the nurse and hung up the phone.

Then she went outside and shot herself in her left knee.

So where are you going on vacation? Texas is real nice at this time of year. A lot of places have snowbirds but here we call them "Winter Texans." That's because we like visitors!

Thank the Moo that Gran didn't fall off the table, but stayed on the floor with her special dance TT....Last time she fell off the table, she broke her little finger and was meaner than a hornet for a week cuz she lost her pasties. She thought she had lost her virginity too, but she found it later out by the outhouse.

Old lady-I have always said I hoped when I got up in the Golden Years that I didn't trip over my boobs on the way to the Outhouse!!!!

How was everyone's chili anyway. I was laughing on that one because when I got home yesterday, my daughter had cooked dinner for me...chili!

It was actually one of the best tasting that I had too! She was so proud of herself!

 

[toto1013]

Oh I know you were Padre, so was I.....No need to apologize for nutin....

 

[TexasT]

Man, I sure do like chile and old ladies who trip over their boobies! Perfect combination!

In Texas, everybody tends to make their own chili and its kind of a competition to see who can come up with the best. I don't even know if there is a best because its all good!

But now when it comes to ladies in their Golden Years, I'm an expert. After all, I'm married to somebody's grandmother.

LOL, there's always something hanging that I probably need to apologize for, but its just not in me to do it. But my wife is working on that, in fact, I told her I was going to give her one more chance to straighten me out and if she didn't do it, she was going to be history!

Good morning everyone

REally I do feel like I have a hangover. Must be a Benadryl one....I am on my first cup of coffee.

TT sorry to hear your rash has not improved.

Padre I am having Chili again...I was giving away leftovers last night....still have plenty left.

Actually I am craving biscuits and gravy....

 

[Padre]

ooh I love biscuits and gravy! I never had this as a child. First time I had it was after I was married to my wife whose family is from Arkansas. My family is from Massachusetts and they dont eat like that up there!

I had to doctor the chili a little. She left out onions! I also added cheddar cheese and corn.

 

[TexasT]

Hi Sdh!!

That ECF Veteran tag sure looks nice over your avatar this morning! Really happy for you!

Yeah, that was quite a party last night and I know everyone had a great time!

The rash is worse this morning. Its gone down my legs to my feet now and strangely it covers my entire body with the exception of my arms. I'm taking benedryl (my wife called our friend the Pharmacist) and was told that was the best thing to take. I mentioned ice cream, but I don't think she was listening to my suggestions.

Oh well, this too will pass.

Hey Padre, biscuits and gravy are considered a National Dish for the Country of Texas. And my honey wife makes her biscuits from scratch and of course the gravy is home made! Now you talk about some fine eating!

LOL, you mentioned the difference in foods between the South and North, my wife makes a chicken dumpling dish that is fantastic! One time I had this dish up north and they had put a dumpling on top of the chicken that rose up like bread does. It was thicker than bread though and was delicious!

Down here, my wife fixes a flat, doughy dumpling that is more like a real thick noodle and is real good too. I just had some of that last night! Good stuff!

[Sdh]

I have perfected the recipe. Its a nice comfort food. I even found the perfect recipe for cathead biscuits.

 

[TexasT]

Oh, and Padre, you mentioned corn.

We spent some time up in Illinois a couple years ago before I fully retired and up there they grow a sweet, buttery corn that is absolutely delicious! I was never a real big fab of corn. I'd eat it, but didn't especially want it or like it.

But this corn up north was soooo good that I still remember it and kinda wish we had some like it around here. I could eat that every day! It was juicy, moist and delicious! Great stuff!

[Sdh]

Yes it does...

TT sorry your rash is worsening. A cool cloth/compress may help relieve some. A cool shower or bath may help...Also you might want to try a anti-itch cream such as Benadryl cream. Sometimes steroid cream does not work for everyone.

Hummm, I'll have to ask my wife what she calls her biscuits. I don't even know if she has a name for them. But man oh man, you talk about some fine eating!

As they say down here in Yeast Texas the home of every mold and fungus known to man) ... this stuff is so good it will make you want to go home and slap your mama! Now that's not an expression I would use ... but I sure hear it a lot around here!

I've been taking frequent showers and using a cortisone cream - we don't have any benedryl cream, but my wife is going to go to town and get some this morning. I'm taking the benedryl caps, but those things sure do seem to put me to sleep.

Not that I mind ...

Hubs never had biscuits & gravy till he met me. He was born in Wisconsin so they just give their babies beer and cream puffs.

They sell a really delicious bi color sweet corn in this state.

Toto you missed it. SC was flirting in the pre-vets forum....I thought he was talking to Echo but no he found a pretty girl to talk to ....so I had to grab him by his ear and twist and send him back home...

 

[toto1013]

Love fried catfish, tators, biscuits, gravy and honey....

 

[toto1013]

Oh poor Echo...Knowing SC, he'll keep the pretty girl around too. We'll just have to keep Echo company.

I have an Echo here too...When I started asking and answering myself out loud instead of just answering out loud, I decided I needed an Echo to carry on a conversation with.....

 

[Sdh]

Catfish sounds yummy. I haven't had that in years!
I won't eat mountain oysters! My grandma tried serving that to me when I was little.
Oh and I cannot get past the smell of chitlins. How and why someone would eat that-some like chit as well.

 

[Sdh]

I adopted Echo and now he's family-I refer to him as my brother.

 

[toto1013]

We have Catfish quite often. Live by the river.

I do eat Mountain Oysters, but think it is the sauce I like more than the MOs. Don't find them much of any place around here any more.

Chitlins, I know I have had, but been so long ago that I don't remember much about them.

What I would like is some "fresh" oysters, clams, etc. Love them.
