Texas

by Cindy

Jeff and I are proud Texans, no doubt about it.  We were both born, and for all intents and purposes, raised in Texas.  There are some things that are decidedly Texan and/or Southern that you forget about until you happen upon them.

Summer grilling.  Ribs and corn in this case.  In the UAE they call it BBQ.  In Texas, BBQ is a food and grilling or cooking out is a method of food preparation.

Drinking from a mason jar.

The Ladies restroom/toilet/bathroom/loo/(insert your appropriate term here)

A Texas size taco!  Everything is bigger in Texas!

Where else do you find dish towels talking about how great your state is?

This one surprised me a bit - a Texas plate that supports Obama and we saw it in George Bush's neighborhood in Dallas.

  1. I love and appreciate your definition of BBQ. Many times I have been fooled by its incorrect usage here.
