Do you ever wonder???


Do you ever wonder what you are eating? Holidays are surrounded by so much food. People will bring in dishes for holiday parties, office parties, and church events, etc. We just dig in and gulp down the yummy goodness. The other day my neighbor brought over some "mystery" dish for Christmas. I call it it "mystery" dish because it was meat covered in this red sauce. I took one bite and knew that it wasn't chicken. That got me thinking.....do we really pay attention to what we are eating? Why is it during the rest of the year we are careful to put our food back in the fridge but at the holiday party it sits out for hour and we think that its ok? What are they putting in the foods at these restaurants? Why is it that I can make a dish at home and have a pretty big portion. I can feel great enough to go for a walk within 15 minutes but when I eat out; now way. I have a small portion of something while dining out; I'm thirsty, bloated, and sluggish. Makes me wonder... if that ain't chicken what is it?

Hurricane IKE


Damage in Austin during Hurrican Ike. However, I do take hurricanes seriously. We were in Katrina and Rita. I feel so badly for the people of Galveston. Rebuilding your life is so difficult. The news doesn't report much anymore but things are still devastated down there. Please keep our Texas friends in your prayers.

Only in Louisiana


We use to live in New Orleans so this is pretty amusing to me. I love the little brother who is turning on the gas. Hilarious!!!

Midevil Times Dallas Texas







My husband and I went to Midevil Times for dinner and a show. We had a ball. It was so much fun. The food isn't that bad either. It's not what I consider fine dining but it's fun for the whole family. We went to the one in Dallas, Texas but I know they have them all over the country. It was fun!!!
