Howdy, y’all! I’m in Texas right now, yee-haw!
As they say, everything is bigger here in Texas. I think I just saw a mosquito the size of a bee.
And the weather? It’s big, too. Like 101 degrees big. It’s HOT, HOT, HOT!
But hey, at least I’ll be dining on a 22 oz. steak. That’s right, the steaks here are humongous, oh em gee…
Big and bold, that pretty much sums up Texas. Take it or leave it, y’all!
And now it’s time to fiesta again. And just because I’m away doesn’t mean you can’t party hearty, y’hear? In fact, I want to see y’all get wild! Show me how it’s done. Visit and chat with each other. Joke around. Tease one another. You know, have fun! Time to party down, people!
Now, Features!

Teagan Geneviene says
July 8, 2016 at 1:52 pmBoozy Popsicles! Yeah I’ll have some please.
Have a fun western vacation, Angie. That steak would last me a month… (The popsicles would be gone in a day… but then it’s really hot here too.) Hugs!
Angie says
July 8, 2016 at 4:19 pmThanks, Teagan! They sound so refreshing, don’t they? Seriously I’m thinking of them right now and my mouth is watering! They’d be gone in minutes if I had them in front of me ??

Mollie
Angie says
July 8, 2016 at 4:16 pmOoh…those Popsicles would have been most welcome right now; it’s so dang hot!! That milk bread is definitely a keeper, Mollie. I’m saving it; I have a feeling most people are too. ??

Angie says
July 8, 2016 at 4:12 pmI’ll fix it as soon as I get back to the hotel, Hilda. Still driving around right now. So hot here!! But good is good and people are nice, that’s all that matters, right? ?

carolinescookingblog says
July 9, 2016 at 3:08 pmYou should totally feature yourself if that’s how the vote comes out! Enjoy Texas – don’t think I could do that heat (well, I have before and wasn’t a huge fan!)
Angie says
July 10, 2016 at 8:44 amJust doesn’t seem right ?? Anyway, it’s hot and sticky here and I complain and complain about it but we’re still having fun so far. Food is good! ??
tentimestea says
July 10, 2016 at 12:55 pmWhat delicious looking features! Eee, just how have I managed to miss out on so much delicious fiesta food (like those blueberry cream cheese doughnuts!?!!) the past couple months?
Enjoy the sunny Texas weather Angie! Speaking of big things, when my friend was attending a conference in Texas, there was a steak buffet one night for all the attendees (needless to say, she enjoyed herself)…!
Angie says
July 14, 2016 at 12:11 pmHey, Laurie! Where you been, girl?! Busy, huh? Which means you must be having fun ? I hope not too much or else you’ll start forgetting FF ?All I can say about Texas is that I won’t mess with it! ??
tentimestea says
July 15, 2016 at 11:56 pmHaha sounds like you’ve enjoyed Texas 🙂 I could never forget FF… especially when it is always so much fun here! 🙂
