I was able to grab a quick interview with track owner, Mary Ann Nauman – NASKART Racing Xperience managing partner, Gary “Smitty” Smith and the director of the Kyle Chamber of Commerce, Ray Hernandez. It was a fun chance [...]

From the mouth of babes – sweet treats and great wisdom
October 17th, 2010
Chris Doelle I pride myself on having a lot of knowledge combined with a large number of experiences. Because of that, when one of those little overlooked things always catches me by surprise. I mean, I have been to the top of mountains, spoken in front of thousands, sampled all manner of daring escapades – then why [...]
Those Cheetos folks just keep ‘em coming
March 4th, 2010
Chris Doelle I have a history of posting on foods I find interesting. No brand has done more (well, maybe Mt. Dew) to try new things than Cheetos. Here is one of the latest from the fine folks at Lays – Wild Habanero Cheetos! Alright, I didn’t try them (I know I am letting you down there) [...]

Chris Doelle That is the exact question that Dawn and I pondered each time we took the small trip along Ranch Road 12 between San Marcos and Wimberley. Surely, THIS is just good marketing? What the heck makes a tamale ‘gourmet?’ Yes, this is Jean’s Antique Mall & Gourmet Tamales. Well, after a few months of saying [...]
