Texas Visit

I just got back from visiting my friend who lives outside of College Station Texas. It was an awesome trip to a part of our country that has a whole different culture than we have here in Los Angeles. At first I fell into the stereotypically hillbilly viewpoint, but that soon wore off.

I guess part of the whole hillbilly thing started when I got there and noticed that everyone goes crazy with truck parts and accessories in that part of Texas. I’m talking about push bars, roll bars, big tires, step bars, extra big lights and big old diesel exhaust systems. Everything from the bumpers to the hood ornaments are bigger in Texas!

Speaking of everything being bigger in Texas, let’s talk about the food! I am still in awe of what they did my second day there on their smoker. And when I say they did this that day, I mean it took all day. When I got up, my buddy already had the smoker fired up and he was putting a brisket on it. We didn’t eat it until later that evening. And it was well worth the wait. I don’t know what kind of magical secret stuff they did to that thing, but I think the Lone Star beer had something to do with it. I can’t wait to go visit there again.
