Will Texas challenge U.S. gun laws?

May 4, 2009

Don’t get the wrong idea.  Most of us mild mannered RealTexasBlog.com readers are not gun crazed survivalists who are armed with AK’s, M-16’s, and have a secret stash of .50 caliber machine guns in the basement.  Most of us don’t even have basements. But enough of us are concerned about the push to regulate the […]

Real Texas Stuffed Jalapenos

April 30, 2009

If you are not making these Real Texas appetizers you are really missing out. Usually the guys cook these out on the pit while they are cooking brisket and ribs.  They cook and eat Stuffed Jalapenos to help tide them over the hunger pains that the cold Lone Star gives them.  An-ti-ci-pation… I have found […]

Texas Secession makes CNN

April 27, 2009

And, here’s another Texas secession video, this one from CNN. Yes, I know what CNN stands for, but they used to be good and they were often places nobody else went to to report the news. The professor at the University of Texas whom CNN used as a source definitely is NOT from Texas. He […]

Real Texas Roasted Rack of Lamb

April 21, 2009

Did you know?  The area of Texas we live in is the largest sheep and goat producing area of the country. They’re everywhere! The only problem is…..most folks out here do not eat lamb.   We mostly consume beef and lots of it.  That’s what Texas is known for.  We do ship our lamb out of […]

Democrats chide Perry over Texas secession

April 17, 2009

RealTexasBlog is only semi-political because political opinions are like…..ears.  That’s the nice version.   Nearly everybody has some.  Opinions that is. I like to keep it pretty light here, but when someone who supposedly represents Texans is so vocal in their support of Washington politics, it drives me crazy.  My friend Rora alerted me to […]

I’ve been everywhere – In Texas

April 4, 2009

Since I’ve vowed to not do too much traveling this summer, I’ve already looked at a schedule that takes me to San Antone twice, Kerrville a couple of times and side trips to Fredericksburg and maybe Seguin. But, the good news is that I hardly ever tire of seeing the Texas countryside and with a […]

The story of the five thousand dollar dogs

April 2, 2009

I was looking back over my schedule and observed that last year about this time, I spent a month in Georgia. Some was business, some visiting with dear old friends and enjoying their southern hospitality, church, and friendship. This year I sorta decided to stay home. Why leave paradise? No, really! So, I got out […]
