This is more growing up poor as opposed to weird family recipes.. Cheap tuna casserole - cook a box of Kraft mac and cheese, leave it in the pot, dump in a can of tuna and a can of mushy canned peas, mix and eat "Hash" - brown some hamburger meat with onions and bell peppers, cut up 3 or 4 potatoes, throw it all in a soup pot, cover in water and cook until potatoes are mushy and bell peppers turn to slime, add tons of salt and pepper because my mom and step-dad smoked like chimneys and had no taste buds Lays potato chip sandwiches, just chips and bread Warm tortillas with butter (well, margarine, who could afford butter?) (and no, we did not sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on it, that's why God made cinnamon toast) An open face grilled cheese? Piece of bread, slice of cheese on top, pop in the toaster oven until cheese just starts to turn brown, ate that everyday after school My step-grandma, bless her she was so country, used to make this pseudo-Watergate salad, lime green jello mixed with cottage cheese, pineapple chunks, pecans, shredded carrots and raisins - ugh Did I eat it, yeah My mom used to make homemade salad dressing, miracle whip, ketchup, a little worcestershire sauce and garlic powder mixed together, 500 islands maybe?

Yeah, I'm hoping the piano bridge near Dubina doesn't get washed out. Hostyn, Ammansville, High Hill, got lotsa friends out that way.

Just think boobies. The name mammatus is derived from the Latin mamma (meaning "udder" or "breast").

As a fan of performance art, you gotta admire it...

My son just turned me on to these guys today. Not sure if it's jazz (just some buskers), but it's a hell of a lot of fun.

All I see is trash. Appropriate.

Not enough flair, and no stickers with targets on libs...

I say, let 'em crash.

No cult at all.

Yeahhh, I think we know why...

No, Texas valedictorians get automatic admission to state schools (I raised two, although the first chose to go to Rice anyway)

Long week, back home after pizza and a pitcher of Bucket Head, time to relax, White Album, analog headphones, just like being 17 again...

One Mississippi pot roast is great, two are twice as nice. Unfortunately hadn’t replenished my pepperoncinis from the las time so only had about 1/4 jar left. I did have an almost full jar of roasted red peppers though, so in it goes. Also was intrigued with the recipe originally calling for Italian dressing, so why not? Roast #1 with au jus & ranch mix & red peppers, roast #2 with au jus & italian dressing & pepperoncinis. Shredded and served up on a baked tater.

Check out his twitter page, he updates just about every day

Yeah, it's a lifesaver during football season, makes it very easy to click between 3-4 games one after another.

A little late now, but in the future, hit the down arrow on your remote twice and you will get a display showing the last few channels you watched, just click on what you need.

Oh Brad.. (so glad 1-Jeff Ward left KLBJ-AM and 2-I work from home now so I don’t have to hear those goddam radio spots anymore.. )

True, but I think she got a little above her raisin' living out in the Woodlands. From the pics I've seen on twitter, her new digs suit her to a T.

She's obviously gone back to her white trash roots. Poor Norman, gone from the lap of luxury to a pen in the sticks. Get used to the cold buddy.

Pretty big blob coming up from San Antonio right now, let's see if it holds together.

(Shakes head) Yes... I have no idea, I’m a trumpet player, I do good to hook our PA up...

So I got my new toy back in March but have only had the time over the last couple of days to really dig into it and see how it works. Recorded a little 40 second demo, 4 vocals and 2 horn parts, just farting around to see if I could actually get it to work. Even added some EQ, reverb and panning. Going to keep experimenting with it, learn how to punch in and out, explore the effects more etc., but really excited to get my band together and see what we can do with it. Actually have a dance we're playing next Sunday, I think I might lug the recorder along and place 2 or 3 mics out front of the stage and see what kind of live recording I can get out of it.
