I don't even really like cats but it's the mouse's story, don't you think?

Eating brunch on Sunday morning.  Roast beef hash, with a runny egg on top.  Roast beef hash is why I make roast and potatoes.  Okay, I also like to make roast salad for sandwiches.  Lots of mayo and pickle and crispy onion, just spread it on the bread and the sandwich is built.  I really like food, can you tell?



Let me tell you something.  I read an on-line article that has me thinking, doing some real soul searching.  It was recommended to me and I've recommended it to a few people already.  One was my eldest and we had quite the discussion during the A&M football gave about teh article.  You aren't ready for it, maybe later but there is one part I want to mention.  It has to go with why I like food so much.  One of the questions the article poses is what do you do?  My answer is I cook.  It is something I do, do well, and enjoy doing.  Maybe I'll earn money at it some day.  Remember me mention the 'Waffle Butt'?

Another answer to the question is 'I blog'. It is something I do. Not going to say whether I do it well or not, its fairly new to me, but it is something I do, something I produce.

you get to feeling better and I'll turn you on to that article and we'll talk about what you do, we can start with doctoring animals and build on it.

We need some pictures to talk about, don't you think?


Here is a collage of pictures, some I took yesterday, the majority came from my computer at work.  I downloaded what I could to my phone to bring them home. Some of these I want for my permanent collection and due to security reasons, downloading files from work is discouraged.  That is why I'm careful to just download things that are not work related.

The above photo was appetizers last night, taquitos and beer.  I had too much brandy, not pictured, so much I skipped dinner, which included a sticky toffee cake I made from scratch, to pass out early.  Not  something to be proud of.  I didn't embarrass myself, just missed out on dinner, the rest of the evening, and I feel like shit today.


The first bite.  With a dab of Sarachi.





An old picture of my youngest and my saddle horse, Tate. This picture was taken when we brought him home.  It is one of my favorites.
Good times.









Now here's a vegetarian meal.  Believe it or not, my favorite meal growing uup was all veggie.  Chile peppers filled with cheese, called a Chile Reno.  I like it with fried potatoes adn beans.  My favorite meal.



This is a bobcat there in the bushes, looking out my window at work.


Know what kind of dog this is? It is my dream dog...an Argentine Dogo. Mixture of several breeds, used for hunting panthers.  The use them to hunt pigs here in Texas, as a Strike Dog, rather than pit bulls.  They don't fight each other.  Rather expensive.


 This is the crew at work, posing for a group picture to support Epilepsy.  The young man holding the poster has a child, three and can't walk or talk, advanced epilepsy. He has it really hard.  Forced to live in poverty to get public assistance.  couldn't afford it otherwise.  Had to have his pay cut.  Was the lab director until recently.  Too much for him.
 
 








Mold spores under the microscope.  I have earned a good living identifying mold.















You ever watch 'Archer'? Great cartoon.  Very adult.  Kind of a ego maniac. This is one of the secretary.



This is the car I had in high school  School colors.  That isn't me driving.






This is an album cover for ZZ Top's album.  MMMMMMMMM...



This is the gate to my parent's property, The last thing you saw when you left.  Signing out.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)




Despite his tarnished reputation after the events of The Dark Knight, in which he took the rap for Dent's crimes, Batman feels compelled to intervene to assist the city and its police force which is struggling to cope with Bane's plans to destroy the city.

From me, watch 'Batman Begins' first.


Matching pants that really match.


So, I am transferring all the pictures and videos from the camera and phones to the computer so I can start blogging with the pictures from New Years.  It was fun.  It was hard work.  It was tiring.  I cooked until I got tired of cooking, and that takes a lot for me.  After dinner last night, I told them there would not be any cinnamon rolls for breakfast.  They are like dogs, they will hang around as long as you feed them.  Just kidding.   They are great folks.  But I still poured all the milk down the sink and told them to get home.  Another joke.

Too late to do too much tonight and I'm lazy as hell.  We all are. I am going to browse the pics and put up a few teasers.


I told you they ate like stray dogs.


Head and her mom, Maybelle/


Migas, refries, and hot, hot salsa


My dog and his litter-mate sleeping in my lap. On my nuts.


Me, with squished nuts.


New Year's party hat.  I brought my own.
It was a Hoot!


The dogs lining up for treats.




I did not shoot these.  My bro in law did.  I don't hunt.  I raise my food, give it a name and then kill it.


No more smokes.  Not until next year.


Holly


Cindy. The litter-mate Head's folks have.


Me on the soup line.
Fish tacos actually.


Pour me another,...

All I need is a tattoo on my neck and I'd be a hard-core vato!


Bro in law shoots birds but has a yorkie.


Making spring rolls...



Only one baby but plenty of dogs.


Notice the Sarachi hot sauce, I've mentioned it before.


Head's sister with her son and my son's banjo.


I make killer buttermilk pie.  My niece, in the picture with my A&M hat, loves it.



No! No pie for you!

Let me know if you need directions transferring files to the Kindle.  Just drag and drop from the flash drive to the 'Documents' folder on the Kindle. Enjoy the music and watch the videos. Let me know what you think. Send the drive back and I'll fill 'er up again.

Glad to hear about the new apartment...too cool.  Take care...
