It might have been to visit me.

Yes, the house smelled great. Baking bread tomorrow. Slathered in butter and honey drizzled over the top, hot from the oven.

Cheers!

Honestly I do not know how far I can get away from DW's pillow. It smells so great sure she calls it dirty head but it smells amazing to me I can't believe this gal married my dumb arse. NM she saw this post and stole my joy the pillow is gone.

Also should I ever make it to Beaumont @RUNuts you are at the top of my list if you would have me over. I do hope you read my bread baking recipe here on this site. "lazy mans guide to bread making. " There is a little bit of knowledge in there. I do not claim much knowledge our grandparents run circles around us. Just they didn't have 2.5 gallon ziplocks.

I wish I could bake bread like my grandmother. And Rhubarb pie but that just is never going to happen. I miss her horribly she would be 96 this year.

Yes I am of yankee descent, but born and reared a Texan.

I might make tamales next week.
I prefer the beef ones though.

I don't have a preference other than in my belly. Sure maybe BBQ and spicy I really think Runuts is on to something by spicing up the masa.

Mom made some, a long time ago, and had a most excellent batch of chillis in the masa. She would do plan a head cooking and made huge batches of enchiladas and tamales to fill the freezer.

No, we did not get sick of them.

It is so comforting to know that my wife seems to have a long term plan involving me.

In all honesty she said she dug those for carrots, at least I hope that is the case I for sure didn't forget to buy the seed.

She loves our heat and I do not question her ways much. I like the AC.

I thought tamales were always made in huge batches not like you can only make a dozen or so. I would love your mother's masa recipee sure cut in a few peppers... yada yada. For me I would think you replace water with salsa, but that is just me.

Also it usually requires at least 3 tias to make tamales. I am so far from hispanic you would laugh if you meet me though. I am more of a pasty looking italian/irish appelacian mishmash. I am totally Mississippi pale not that I care but I am so southern Texan at heart. . Think of Conan O'Brian and you are half-way there.

We are so caucasian, today my wife and I went to Walmart and they checked our reciept for the first time since we moved here. That was a new experience I guess we are thugs.

As if we went there to steal dog and cat food I must be looking white trashy today. Kathrin showered before we went so I know it wasn't her. It had to be all on me that a Walmart employee thought we would steal 50 lb bags of dog food. Me I just took my nasty dirty self there and paid, as that is my one and only job. Well that and pushing the cart and ensuring we do not buy decaff products(uncaffinated wives are not happy wives), but that is minor, unless you feed her decaff at that point it escalates and not in your favor.

Should you want to create a monster feed your wife decaff. Those ladies are incredibly scary. This is just #1 on my list of things you just don't do. Just imagine a 125# broody and that is a wife without coffee.Trust me they will kick you and spur you to no end.
