Rabbit Trails

  We went out to eat with Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Theresa a month or so ago. Since they asked US, they had to choose the place. Should be easy, right? You're hungry.  You have $$.  Go eat. Not so. We went to a place where we could look out the window into the parking lot.  A guy and his wife drove up in a truck and never got out. It was apparent that they were NOT getting along. Dinner and a show, right? They were there for quite a while, obviously arguing. Us four decided that one of them didn't want to eat at Riverpoint. They eventually left. Fine, we'll go home and eat a bowl of cereal.   Well, we do eat out as often as we can. No, we don't eat out every night. It's fun, and sometimes cheaper than going to Dillard's. Except sometimes, it's hard to pick where you want to end up.     I figure, with all the resources and energy put into just choosing a place to eat.... we could put a fence up around Tex...

It was already hot. One parking lot was already full. But I had on my good walking shoes,  had water in the back-pack, and sandwiches in baggies.    This was before we all started to melt. At the Houston Zoo, the seals are the first thing you see. And, the last.  :)         I'd like to grow a plant in the shape of something, other than the shape of a plant. I'm sure I'd like one that looked like a rabbit, but an armadillo might be easier.    We haven't been to the zoo for quite a while. It was fun to see the things they have added.    When I see pretty flowers and plants at the zoo, I think hmmmmm. Houston is ONE hour from us, if they can grow it in the zoo, I can too.   I mean at home, not in a zoo.      I always like to see an animal grinning.   This leopard looked more like a stuffed animal than any animal I've seen...



  Corn on the Cob tutorial First you buy corn on the cob, only at this time of year though. Don't buy it unless it's in season. If you do, you'll pay too much and get too little.     Clean it all up, and wrap in wax paper. Sort of like a burrito.      Microwave it for about 3 minutes each. Or until it's so hot that you drop on the floor, when you take it out.   Don't just put plain butter on it. Use mayo, or sour cream. And lemon pepper. Don't just use salt. There's more out there. There.  Now you can make the perfect corn on the cob, without heating up your kitchen.
