Congratulations goes out to my older brother, Tim. He won first place in the Jackson County Go-Texan Texana Chili Spill Bean Cook-Off. Out of 69 contestants from around the state, his beans ranked as the best. Team Blackheart celebrates their win! Not being a big bean eater, I can’t vouch for them personally, but when [...]

I guess spicy is out now
October 31st, 2008 
Chris Doelle Part of growing older is adapting to certain changes. I have been blessed in that complaints my friends talk about (vision dropping dramatically at 40, stiffness and pain getting up in the morning, the need to head to bed earlier than in their youth, and the ability to eat like a teenager) haven’t really bothered [...]
Sometimes smaller is better
October 29th, 2008 Chris Doelle My trend of posting entries related to Mountain Dew (or Cheetos) continues! Eric brought in some very cool Mt. Dew bottles to the office and I was struck by how small they were. These are not your typical 16 oz bottles, but 12 oz. Big deal right? Four ounces. Well, I have been a fan [...]
Finally!
October 12th, 2008 Chris Doelle Part of my four-day visit to my Houston home was the need to get some fresh food. One of my biggest gripes about trying to eat better is trying to fit my peculiarities. I am not a big fan of melon in general – most of them are just too sweet. Honeydew however, is just [...]

October 5th, 2008 Chris Doelle Okay, its no secret that I love anything with peanut-buttery goodness. Add a little chocolate in and you are looking at the perfect food. When Blake pointed these bad boys out at the grocery store – I was sold. (We are a very bad influence on each other when shopping for food.) Now don’t get [...]
Sorry Mom
October 2nd, 2008 Chris Doelle I have to say, it wasn’t a meal “just like Mom used to make,” it was better. Again, let me reiterate that I love my mom more than anyone in the world, and some of her meals are the best on the planet. Its just that tomato soup was not her strong point. We’re talking, [...]

August 27th, 2008 Chris Doelle I caught a six pack of 16 oz. “tall boy” Dr. Pepper at H.E.B. tonight and had to grab one. Sure, it’s not the real cane sugar Dr. Pepper – but it is cool. It was the “Sabrosura” and “33% Mas” that caught my attention as much as the extra large cans. Hey, it doesn’t [...]
We have a new #1 (in San Marcos)
August 19th, 2008 Chris Doelle Okay, its not the best in the state (City Market in Luling still holds that title) but we have a new #1 barbeque place in San Marcos – Woody’s BBQ. The brisket is top notch, very juicy and full of great spices. The sausage is similar to the stuff at Krewe’s and Black’s in Lockhart [...]
