I will second that on Shiner Bock.
Stopped at the parents today and checked out the garden

Kyle, my wife and our daughter don't like sauerkraut, but our son-in-law and I certainly had some fine sausage and kraut 2 years ago. Great eating and goes well with Shiner beer, too.:laughing:

My parents said when we lived in Baltimore when I as a baby, anytime you ordered a hot dog anywhere, they asked you "with or without kraut". I've never seen that anywhere in this part of the country, but I still like hot dogs with chili and sauerkraut.

Chili or Sauerkraut for sure but it has to be "Hebrew National" dogs or good German Bratwurst or a good Polish Sausage. We did a "Hans Mueller" Polish Chili-dog topped with Cheese & onions years ago at a restaurant in Downtown Ft. Worth and we couldn't make them fast enough.

Ditto here! I plan to take my truck to the wash tomorrow morning. It never stays clean, because someone in town, before I can get home with it clean, will have a sprinkler system that has watered the streets along my way. :thumbdown:

I'll be watering the garden by hand this weekend.

I don't know anything about Hebrew National dogs, but I do get my brats from Fischer's Meat Market in Muenster.

 

[farmgirl19]

My complaint with Hebrew National is the salt content. I am a total salf-aholic, and they are still too salty for me. If I *have* to do a plain dog, I'll go with Oscar Mayer all beef. However, I usually use brats, as they are WAY better.

Sauerkraut and chili? That has to be a Texas thing. I don't like to mix my chili with sauerkraut. I like a big ol' chili dog with mustard, chili, chopped onions, and grated cheese. I also love a hot dog with hot German mustard and sauerkraut sprinkled with chopped onions. I would NEVER mix the two hot dogs. I am forced to just compromise and have two hot dogs instead of just one.:laughing: I have noticed they are both awfully good when washed down with a cold Shiner Bock. How can you not love a beer thats brewed by a company named Spoetzl? Drink a 6-pack of Shiner and then try sayin' Spoetzl without spittin'.

Farmgirl19 and Dennis: As I type, I hear sprinkles on my roof. I was tilling my garden yesterday and got 90% done. I left my tiller in the back of the Kawasaki Mule just to help my odds of gettin' rain. I just went out and covered the tiller and the rain stopped immediately. I may have to go back out and uncover it plus roll down the windows on my car. I watered my whole garden yesterday, but I'd still love to get a little rain.

Foreman Etexas: Your garden sure looks healthy and clean. How do you keep it so nice at long distance? Are you cheatin' and having your parents help when you aren't there?

I cant believe you covered your tiller!:shocked: of all the.............................Guess we can forget rain and we know who to "thank":laughing:
I lightly watered my garden yesterday, damp 3"-4" down, but I wanted a little moisture at the sprouting seeds.

OH found some chiggers too!!!

 

[txdon]

Chiggers and ticks is the one thing I hated about the country when visiting my grandparents as a kid. For some reason, I'm suspecting an abundance of ants and ant lions, we have neither.
Washed my truck yesterday and it's misting now, .02"! I should have washed the car also.

My place is just couple miles from parents and I have 4yr and 11yr old boys that love to garden,so there are plenty of us,we have had alittle loss from the weather as can see in the picture but not bad. The garden was moved this year and down sized some.
