I am full of....

Tabouli!! Ha!! You thought I was going to say SHIT!! Didn't you!! Well I didn't.

I like tabouli. Husband and I first ate some when we went to the Texas Folklife Festival about
100 years ago. This is a great place to go. Lots and lots of ethnic foods and entertainment. And beer. And wine. We would go to all of the booths and share whatever they were selling. English Bangers....meaty tomatoey oniony sandwiches on a thick and dense bun (VERY good) that you usually have with an English Ale....which is served warm (not so good) but ethnically correct.

Stuffed Grapes Leaves with a lamb filling...ate 'em once....once was enough. Definitely find ice cold Lone Star Beer to wash the taste out of your mouth! It's a personal thing. You may love them!

And of course there is always Chinese Egg Rolls - Tacos and Chalupas, Chili, Sopapillas...

Let's see...what else...Polish Sausages, Kolaches, Crawfish Etouffee, Chicken and sausage gumbo, Chicken adobo, Bratwurst, German potato salad, Greek salad, Fry bread, Red beans and rice, Gumbo, Boudin, Crawfish Etouffee, Beef B.B.Q. Korean Style, Shish-kabob, Hummus, Tamales, Ceviche, Pirogi, Spring roll , Fried rice, Crab rangoon , Peach cobbler, Chicken Kebab, Baklava, Noodles....and many varieties of beer and local wines.

You can get pretty full....and that's not even 1/4 of the foods. We just happen to like all of the above.

We haven't been in a few years. They used to hold it in August when it is 356 degrees in San Antonio but rescheduled it to June. It's still hot, but not killer! The whole event is set up around the Institute of Texan Culture - where they keep the temperature sub-zero! This way you have the option of walking into the ITC and back out into the scorching heat to insure that you develop a case of pneumonia that should kill you!

But is sure is a lot of fun!!

Now...where was I going with this?? Oh yeah...the Tabouli. That's why I like it.

We are watching Support Your Local Gunfighter. Love that James Garner.

And I am drinking tea. I am relaxing. It was a long, busy day. Husband had a very busy day. Lots of phone calls. Most of them with the VA. They are incompetent.

I got rid of quite a few magazines last night. I'll do the same in a few minutes after I take a shower. I am full of dust and dirt. We are almost through remodeling #10. There is a toilet plumbing issue that I refuse to do and we need the furniture back in the room...then I'll take a couple of after photos. We are so busy here that we are doing the minimum on the room so we can be home before 4:00. I refuse to kill myself for this place. I usually have more to do after 4, and that's because I am here. Huge difference.

And no rain yet! Supposedly a 30% chance tonight - 40% chance tomorrow. Who knows.

I think I'll take a shower and go horizontal. Nite!
