      • In response to: "What was the comfort food you enjoyed most growing up?" Homemade mac and cheese! Forget that blue box crap, we'll have none of that here. My mom's macaroni and cheese is the best. What's even better, I get to make it now for myself. Mmmmm....good.

    • Too Much Loss


      • I was happy to see 2009 go. Last year, I lost 2 aunts in a month and my father-in-law. And unfortunately, the tally continued, a friend lost her 19-year old daughter, three different friends lost husbands and my husband's college friend lost his father. Then, there were pet losses suffered by close friends, acquaintances, and family - those seemed to never end.

        I hope I never have to live through another year like that.

    • Jus Never Seen a Need to Go to Billy Bob's

      • Haven't had a real reason to go to Billy Bob's although it is a major tourist attraction. Maybe someday, if I get the inkling to go ride a mechanical bull and pretend I'm Debra Winger in Urban Cowboy...

    • Hoppin' the bus to Hard Eight in Coppell, TX

      • Because Texas is so damn big that 50 miles really doesn't get you anywhere meaningful. However, there are such locales as the Hard Eight BBQ in Coppell that are truly worth visiting. The bbq is out of this world! Add some Shiner Bock beer. It doesn't get much better than this!

        ...excuse me, now I've got to go wipe the drool of the keyboard.

    • Cero's Hero's are My Heroes!

      • People in Texas have no idea what they're missing. They think they're eating a "sub", but they are, in fact, eating a facsimile, a fake, a knock-off of the real thing. Out east, the meat and cheese used is different than what you can on a "sub" here. The bread tastes different here, too. I'm convinced it's the water that affects that taste of the bread, however, my theory was proved wrong when I took my first bite of a Cero's Hero sub. These folks got it right!

        This sub shop is the only place I've found in North Texas that makes subs like they do in New Jersey. Even the bread tastes the same!
