This is Groundhog Day. That fuzzy little foreigner better be right about an early Spring. I am a Texas girl, and these record-breaking cold temperatures, September gals like me are not programmed for. I look out the window of my Hill Country digs and see my cilantro cryogenically preserved, but still bright green and hopeful – I can relate. So, although this weather makes me a little blue at times, I will not be “Debbie downer”… I shall cherish the time that winter gives me to expand my garden, write some new songs, and burn all of the other shit that doesn’t matter anyway. Besides, this spring I will be enjoying the fruits of my labor (Texas Food & Music) like my ass is on fire.
I am at a point in my life where my eyes are wide open and I am looking forward to what’s round the ole corner. This year I will take more chances … yep, feeling a little out of control seems right this year. I am ready to go full-throttle on the back-side of thirty…and challenge the “it’s all downhill from here” theory. No, I don’t mean mid-life crisis shenanigans…after all, it’s a slippery slope from sexy dancing to full-tilt naughty neighbor parties.

I do not consider myself a “Christmas Sap” by any means, but I have small children and that in itself brings out the kid in me for the December holidays. In Texas, the sights of Christmas may include a wreath on the front grill of an F350 truck accompanied by the stiff legs of a newly shot buck deer in the back. Or perhaps a small town courthouse lit up like a nuclear power plant. And one of the confused-hayseed Christmas lawn art classics, a plywood cut-out of Santa kneeling at the baby Jesus in the manger. Tradition is a powerful thing, especially in Texas where we’ll kick your ass if you don’t agree (tongue n cheek, of course).

Perhaps it’s gonna take one strong cold front (forecasted for today) to really kick off “winter food” season. Or maybe the fact that Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away. Holy Sh?t. I guess it is time to start sifting through recipes, the grease-stained memories of past family gatherings during the Thanksgiving & Christmas Holidays. Oh, how I can already smell the cornbread coming out of the oven in preparation for the homemade cornbread dressing. I can almost feel the double-wide rock from my father yelling “it’s Christmas God dammit” while trying to settle an argument. Or Grandma’s german potato salad (aka ‘farting potato salad’), don’t tell me bacon and sugar aren’t a match made in hillbilly heaven.
I know that I am not the only one from a family who chooses to air their grievances instead of giving thanks during the holidays, but somehow it just doen’t seem like a real Texas holiday if Read More
