Texas Fall/Winter thread!

My wife made chicken taco soup on Friday and about half is left for reheating. I will have some of that mid-afternoon. I'll close my eyes and dream it is some of Lou's gumbo.

TxDon:

Get well soon. At least it's good sitting in doors near the fire weather. Take it easy.

I will send you a bowl Jim,, I am not good at cooking for two.. But I do a right nice job for twenty.:laughing:. Lou

You know the problem with having half of anything Kraut. You may think it's going to stay on it's side, but before you know it, it's rolling across the Polish Sausage like nobody's business. Pizza in our times, yeah, right.

I got it too.

Subway has nothing on Jimmy Jon's. They are in Austin and I think there is one in The Woodlands. Not sure where else. But we always have a Jimmy Jon's while I'm in Austin.

Don, I hope you get better soon. It is scary hearing about all these folks dying from the flu. You always think that it is someone with a weakened immune system due to some other major issue, but it is hitting normally healthy folks hard too. Glad that you sought help, even in the middle of the night. Did you head to Austin? If so, the time getting there would be longer if it was in the daytime.

How do you mail soup in a bowl?

Do restaurants in your area offer soup by the cup or by the bowl at a higher price?

In most up here if you pour the cup of soup into their soup bowl it will be the same amount of soup :confused3:

I guess you are paying extra for presentation.

That's how I cook too, Lou! But I do enjoy leftovers, and freeze some for later, as well. In fact, things like soup, stew, chili and gumbo are better the second day!

Don,
Glad your better. Elgin doesn't have 24/7 emergency room?

I was in Austin and Kyle yesterday. I helped move my daughter in with a friend that was also an ex room mate. She has a 3 bedroom house down in Kyle. The no good fiancee didn't want to get married. They had to move out anyway, as Rebecca's other friend is coming home from deployment and will move back into the house Rebecca was renting for a song.

I sure pray Rebecca learned her lesson. Now, new room mate is letting her stay 6 months to get on her feet. So we got six months breathing room, if Rebecca can manage a new baby and an hour work commute.

Now, to help her might jeopardize my retirement plans. Best plan would be to do my retirement plans and include her and my Grand daughter. That would entail me moving retirement plan property closer to north Austin, (she works for the state near I-35 and 290) or her commuting a distance, like she will do now from Kyle. I wanted to be within an hour of her in retirement. She is fixin' to file for child support. They parted with a good friendship, so we will see. He works for the state, so getting child support should be easy. But I am still holding my breath.

On a happier note....My Big RED Beast will be paid off April Fools Day.

Thanks for letting me vent.
hugs, Brandi

Gumbo? Now that sounds good. I'm still eating RED beans and rice.
