I've been through there a few times since then and I agree the travel food is awesome! (Although I'm allergic to capsaicin so the only peppers I can eat are bell peppers). I guess I was just used to growing up in Florida (Altamonte springs, just north of Orlando) where most towns are named native American words and the streets after fruits and flowers!

WOW!
This would be horrible for me, if I were allergic to capsaicin.
I can't even imagine not being able to eat it.

I am sorry for your loss.

Same here in this region I would be inadvertantly sent to the hospital near daily. Also, I would dearly miss my salsa verde on my breakfast tacos!

I guess I am lucky to have zero food allergies.
I really can't imagine not being able to eat certain thing/having to watch what exactly I eat.

It sounds like a not so fun thing to have...food allergies.

Looks like you Houston/Beaumont guys are about to have a low pressure system come visit. Fingers crossed you don't get hit with 16+ inches of rain like we had about 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for the heads up.
I hadn't heard yet.

Presently on the border of LA/AL but the modeling shows it hugging the coast and migrating down to TX. Nothing major but our recent trivial Tropical Low pressure system was a major event.

At least that is my assumption looking here it really isn't getting a forcast from the NHC. http://origin.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/basicwx/allfcsts_loop_ndfd.gif anyhow the 5 day rain forcast is only calling for 5-7 inches for you guys in the HOU area. http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/p120i.gif?1431007981



I'm just never going to underestimate these storms after my road flooded out with 16 inches, closed the highways ect ect.

I had no clue there was an allergy to capsaicin. Wow. Buddy is allergic to seafood. He'd go to a crawfish boil and eat one. If ok, 5 minutes later eat a second one. Repeat until his lip turned red and started burning and not from the cayenne. People make due.

Killed all but one of the Jalepenos. Just got the replacements in the ground. I'm sure they will love the rain this week. Gentle and not 16" please. Already harvested 2 peppers. On the mild side though. Started more banana peppers since the puppies devastated the kitchen garden.

Wow Blast from the past! Daughter went to High School there for her Freshman year. I wasn't into the local culture there at all so I never went to what was that Comunuion on the fair grounds, not did I ever eat a cattle fritter or go to a Cowboy Church.
