Coco, thank you for that fond trip down memory lane

I take it you haven't met Bob yet, or his brother Bob, or Brother Bob's brother Bob either? They have a habit of rolling down the road in a broken truck (practically doing it Flintstones style) with a single shotgun hanging in the back window that they all have to share.

A spur is an object on the heel of your boot that can have either (American/Cowboy/Western) a round thing that rolls around with spikes on it used to make horses listen better with you on their back OR (English/Jumping) with a solid pointing thing on it just to urge them on... although I think you already knew that, but that's for those that are looking at your post going "WTF?!"
A spur in the road... or a road spur... depending on who you're talking to can either be a short road (short dirt road, short pavement road) that breaks off and goes the other way from a big road (freeway, long dirt road, etc...) or a short road that breaks away from the interstate connecting the loop or something like that... (there is absolutely no reason for me to know this other than I drove back down there 7 years ago and had spent a previous 9 years there and was forced to swallow the states lingo and had formed an accent)

And small piece(s) of advice: if you want drugs, go to the Bush family farm there; don't try the rattle snake even if they swear it's dead and cooked properly; don't order a "well done" steak unless you want it black through the entire thing, not just the outside; don't order a rare steak unless you want it still bleeding like it was freshly cut off the cow; do not trust the cowboy wearing his wranglers down around his ass and his hat sideways (he's from California trying to fit in).

And just to keep the thread on topic and make Phem drool and miss his backwards home state :
Good Ole Texas Meals:

My mouth is a waterfall of drool

Yes, exactly! A spur is that thing on a boot to liven up the horse upon which you ride.....Thanks to you I now understand this spur-road business.

Also, 'loops' are popular out here. Back in the Southeast we call then them 'bypass'; Means the same thing. A bit further north in the east, they are called 'beltway'.

Good education you offer and I am most grateful.

In keeping with this thread's spirit I offer:



On a toasted bun!

I remember a burger joint in San Antonio that we used to go to when I was a kid... it wasn't a sit down place, nor was it fast food... called, gave them your order, they made it from scratch, you drove up and picked up your order and took it home. There was no inside to this place, it was just a shack on the side of the road basically. Damnit, I can't remember the name of the place lol... anyway, they had burgers the size of my head, one fed two people, and it came with drinks and fries to feed an army. Best burgers, by far, that I have ever ate...great price too. Went back 7 years ago and was craving one so bad all the way from Arizona to Texas, found where I used to live and where the burger joint used to be...they closed the damn thing! I was so effing pissed lol.
Maybe Phem will know the place I am talking about... COME BACK PHEM! We needs you and your memory! Oh and we miss ya too!
When I remember the name of the place I'll try and find a picture of it online... (your Dog n Suds reminded me of it Coco...thanks a lot, now my mouth is watering for something I can't have )

Like you, StarsChildren, I hanker for food from home, alas, I'll have to visit Austin for Cuban food. I might visit one day and critique it to see just how authentic and tasty it is.

In the meantime, I am fostering friendship with the Mexican folk; Great and nice people, but just not the same as sweet as they are. As the old saying goes, "There's no place like home".

I saw a restaurant today on the way home that advertizes (advertises) ' Tex-Rico' cuisine - gotta see what that's about. On my home 'planet' of Florida, we advertize (advertise) 'Floribbean' cuisine. Still ain't figured that one out.

PHEM! We NEED YOU to make sense of this all!!

Heard from Phem yesterday, I think it was yesterday, he's just taking a break...said he would check in with us sooner or later

Ahh that reminds me of a place my mom and I used to go a long time ago called Little Tavern. I just realised their a franchise when I googled the pic, I think this is the same one in College Park, Maryland.

A small shacky place that you drive up to, just as you described. The only difference is their burgers were tiny, but they gave you a bag of about six of them for about $2.50 I could tell they were made by hand out of good quality beef, too. They were so daggone good.. mm mm mmm.

Here a few of my all time fav comfort foods..

Puerto Rican Sancocho

Irish corned beef and cabbage..

West African Peanut Stew

Filipino Nilaga ..

Peruvian Tallerin (Spaghetti)

Jamaican brown stew chicken

Being the noodle lover that I am, I fell in love with these healthy Shirataki noodles that are naturally gluten-free, very low carb and low calorie. They are made from a root found only in Asia and are very inexpensive in price. A 16 oz. package costs under $3.00.

And they can be used as an alternative to pasta, too.

Ooo Mounty! Being in Tejas, I cannot find any Puerto Rican or Cuban food.

Yum!

And thank goodness Phem is alright. I can understand a need for a break.

@ Stars & K-Bone: You gals is crazeh!! And I like it!! A lot!!!

@ Coco: I wasn't even ever aware that you went on any kind of a rant against the Great State of Texas, let alone to get peeved over said rant. Believe me, there's plenty I could say about my home state too, so you say what ya gotta say and we'll buy ya a nice cold refreshing lemonade when yer done!

Not to mention, you're Coco.... How the EFF could I EVER be mad or upset with You??? It. Does. Not. Compute.

I just did a Google search for "chili cheese nacho fries" and I guess the world has yet to get their balls up enough to cross that river and take a fuckin picture of it so being the "all or nothing" kinda guy that I am, well.... I decided to go with something a little less calorie-intensive.



Gawn an' love it, you know you wanna....

@phem ^ Well the pic is a little off topic, but it would only take some strategically placed whipped cream and strawberries to fix that right up, so its all good, close enough.

Welcome back btw man.

We've found the 2nd best Chinese food I ever ate here on our doorstep in Athens. Tonight I had

Beef Sezchuan with egg fried rice.

BTW the best Chinese food I ever ate was in Macc, Eat Inn, my Tai Chi master took us there...you've never ate Chinese till you've ate a new years banquet there!

I just had something similar to this...



Omlette with feta cheese, black kalamata olives, diced tomato, pinch of oregano and some parsely...cooked in olive oil with a touch of butter added to the pan.

Except everything was put in the omlette before cooking not around the outside or on top of it.

Hey it aint the prettiest food but it sure tasted good.

Nov, is your diet basically Greek?
