Thanks Harvey

[RedRocker]

Well, it only took me over two years and Jim Inman's memory for me to finally get my memory stone from the fish fry. It will occupy a special place at the Rockin A ranch in Bowie. I really appreciate it Harvey, thank you. Mike

Kathy and I sure had a good time coming up and seeing the progress you have made on the top of your hill...and the drive...and entrance...and surrounding area.

As to the trees on either side of your rock storeroom, I don't know why I didn't think of it, but I think they are young cottonwoods. I saw a cottonwood beside the road on the way home with the same yellowing leaves. I just think they look different because they are in the shade and a little more leggy than cottonwoods normally are.

Thanks Jim, glad Y'all made it by, we enjoyed the visit.

Red, you're more than welcome, they are special, at least some of us think so.

And, what an opener for a question that has been rolling around in my head like a BB in a boxcar.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT'S COMING TO THE GET TOGETHER AT EDDIES THAT WANTS A MEMORY STONE?

If there is we need a count because I still have the template but I've loaned my sand blasting equipment to Pearson Stone, the supplier of the rocks we used. If there is a cost I'm sure it will be nominal but we do need to know if there are anyone attending that would like a stone kind of memory.

Uh, Jim. Tell Kathy that we just celebrated Glenda's new arbor with bar b qued beef steaks from a friend's steer. Along with the steaks we had black eyed peas and squash with onion, fresh tomatoes smothered in AOC olive oil from Rox's place, and for a kicker we had fresh sweet corn on the ear.

If life gets any better I'll have to do something drastic.

Man that sounds good!!!

You mean like fresh made peach cobbler for dessert?

Something like that.

Tonight we had some tamales that were given to us because we'd shared some samples of Rox's olive oil with a client. They're the real deal family home made kind, too good. With that we had a black bean/corn/red onion/white onion/jalopena/lime juice relish with fresh cucumbers and tomotoes on the side.

As we slid back from the table there was consensus that what Glenda calls, "friend dinners" are the best.

If you've never made your own tamales, you don't know what you've missed. I guess you could do it alone, or just two people, but it's best to have at least 4 or 5 and get an assembly line going. Four of my friends and I used to get together on a Saturday and make 12 dozen for each of us; an all day job. And some neighbors used to get together and make tamales Kansas City style; very different from Tex-Mex, and about 4 times as large, but quite tasty.

Okay, now you're braggin'.

Dang! All that sounds really good, Harvey. Two nights and completely different meals, but they both sound delicious. The relish is loaded with stuff I love...maybe a little cilantro would be all I'd add. Yum!

Bird: Hey! That tamale assembly line sounds like a good Texas TBNers project party.
