“Man cannot live by bread alone; he must have peanut butter.” ~James A. Garfield President Garfield was at least half right. Man—or woman—cannot live by bread alone; she must have bacon and a burger. But peanut butter with that bacon burger? Before last Friday, my answer would have been no. After last Friday, I’d say I’m open to eating it again. San Antonio Burger Week So, why did I try a burger with peanut butter on it? Well, it was only $5 and it seemed like a great way to kick off the inaugural San Antonio Burger Week. Burger Week? Yep! According to the official website at https://satxburgerweek.com Burger Week…

Tex-Mex vs. Mex-Mex?
Only Winners Here, Mis Amigos “Surround yourself with tacos, not negativity. And yes, even if those tacos are made with corn tortillas.” ~Life Advice Tex-Mex vs. Mexican food? Well, to be honest, I’ll always choose Tex-Mex. Mostly for the following reasons: it’s what I was raised on, I am a Texan/Tejana, and well, I prefer flour tortillas.

Besides, we also need water to make beer, and wine, and iced tea, and Coca-Cola, and for those crazy water ring games from the 70’s and 80’s that were impossible to win. You are so good looking… Compliments?…

One Plate at a Time
“Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch.” ~Orson Welles Not sure what Mr. Welles had in mind with his obviously sarcastic comment about country and lunch, but where I come from, there’s more truth than sarcasm in those words. It could be that this is something done elsewhere—and maybe I should find out—but here in San Antonio, there is a lot of community and care that comes in the form of lunch, or rather, in selling plates of food—which are usually then eaten for lunch. And whether on actual plates (paper plates, that is) or styrofoam to-go food containers, these “plate sales” are one…
