Stop there when I hit the coast. Enjoy everything. I also pick up cold links; use them for my shrimp boils in addition to eating.

Tarpon and Barracuda are on the Masshole’s list of species caught now. Nothing special, but fun nonetheless.

The chicken skin didn't add much as a garnish, but as chips to dip in extra sauce.... got damn!

Chicken Tikka Masala. Thighs with skin removed. Marinated in yogurt, lemon, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne, salt, and garam masala. Sauce made with onions, carrot, garlic, ginger, cilantro, same spices as above, can of diced tomatoes, and a can of tomato sauce. Simmered for an hour or so then hit it with the stick blender and added heavy cream. Grilled the chicken over hot charcoal, about 10 minutes, until it was charring a bit. Cut off the bone and added to the sauce. Simmered until chicken was cooked. Garnished with fresh cilantro and crispy chicken skin.

I’ve found that the raw frozen HCF wings at HEB are the biggest ones around generally. I think I’ve ended up with as few as 12 wings in a bag. These ones:

Gardening 2025
About a month in; got down to 33 on my exterior thermometer with that last cold spell, but everything seemed to pull through. Tomatoes, cilantro, dewberries and green beans in the fabric pot are doing great. Green beans in the ground, cucumbers, and ground cherries, not so much. Thai basil and chilis have been straight trash. Have a few more seedlings inside, but they're growing slow. Maybe I'll make ka-prao next year. Seem to have a bunch of volunteer marigolds and a few volunteer tomatoes. The natural gardener guy suggested using black eyed peas for living mulch and nitrogen fixing, so they're growing thick everywhere. It seems counterintuitive to me, but hopefully they enrich the soil, yield some peas, and make good compost.

Dairy Queen slowly dying
my bus driver in 4th/5th grade would take us there a couple times a year and get the whole bus a soft serve cone. It also sponsored my little league team one year; we got a free blizzard after every game. That was a good season.

San Antonio Jay had their mariachi band play halftime at the Alamodome vs Dripping a couple years ago. Was badass.

I don't think there's been a starting level football player from Anderson since Corby Brooks and Jason Reeves.

I’d get a bunch of tomatoes and peppers. Then I’d also plant some perennial herbs: thyme, rosemary, sage, and oregano. Then I’d mulch the hell out of it with 6 inches of straw mulch.

Barb’s turned me on to green spaghetti. We eat it hot and I make some fresh ground Tex-Mex pork meatballs. Kids fight over who gets the leftovers in their lunches.

Put a bunch of stuff in the ground. Typical tomatoes, peppers, green beans, etc.. and some new stuff. New stuff for this year: Trombocino Rampicante squash - supposed to be SVB resistant. We'll see. Thai Kaprao Basil - planted tulsi holy basil last year, but found the right seeds for this year. Native Dewberry - transplanted after the foraging season last summer; expanding nicely in a dedicated bed. Black-Eyed Peas - The Natural Gardener convinced me to try this as a green/living mulch. Probably put down way too much.

I went to dripdepot.com and bought individual parts for a system to irrigate my vegetable garden. For 4 trees, you can put together a system with a timer for less than $100.
