Why I Love Tejas

I sure miss my family, and these past few weeks have been wringing.

But if there's one thing to cushion the despair, it's this:


What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is a Texas-style smoker. In this finely-hand-crafted work of art is composed melodious aromas of live oak-, mesquite-, and pecan-smoked BBQ brisket. REAL bbq!

Shortly after getting to town, a good friend of mine welcomed me back home by holding a small bbq for me. Brisket, potato salad, Mrs. Baird's bread. I can still taste it.

And that's what's beautiful about Texas. This pit lives in his backyard, and is carted to and fro behind his pickup truck.

A beautiful life. Can't wait for my family to come and partake of heaven.
