Come Hungry!

I hope that you come spiritually hungry tomorrow morning as we gather together to Celebrate God's goodness!

I also hope that you will come physically hungry (and with some extra bucks) as the Student Ministry will be having a bake sale after both the 9 & 11 Celebration - and then there will be $5 BBQ plates for sale after the 11!

So save gas in getting your lunch and support our students who are going to camp!

Taco Villa!

OK, I talked about Taco Villa in a past post being my favorite TexMex fastfood joint . . . and here it is!
And yes, I've had a Taco Villa Combination Burrito!

It was a beautiful day in Lubbock . . . 60 degrees this morning and blue (not red) skies! Played golf with my father-in-law and Luke this morning and had a great time!

Eating Frenzy!

I saw part of The Biggest Loser the other night and one of their trivia questions said that the average person makes 200 food related decisions a day! 200? Wow!
Well I like to eat, so I'm at least average -- so if I'm going to talk about life in this blog, then I can't go too long without talking about food!

Now, these are not your typical food/eating categories, but this is my blog! So here you go, enjoy - and be sure to let me know what I missed/messed up.


Favorite Sandwich - Jason's Deli - You don't know me very well if you don't know this one!

Best Fast Food Texmex - Taco Villa (Lubbock, Tx) hands down on Taco Bell - nearest location to Corpus is Big Spring, TX - sometimes my car just goes there when I hit West Texas

Favorite Cold Drink - Strawberry Slush from Sonic - I'm doing it about 3x a week right now - I figure if I'm gonna have a vice it's good to have one that costs $1.59 and has fruit involved in it

Favorite Hot Drink - Coffee w/sugar and cream and caffeine - I don't drink that fufu $4 a cup stuff man --- just give me coffee

Favorite Snack - Pretzels and peanut butter - Don't knock till you've tried it!

Favorite Team Place to Eat on College Baseball Trips - Pancho's Mexican Buffet - The flag never went down! (All you-can-eat!) And imagine doing this with your team and then getting on the van with 15 guys for a 4 hour trip home . . . entertainment all the way . . . And even though it's been 20 years I still have nasal cavity damage from these trips.

Favorite Restaurant that Rotates - Reunion Tower, Dallas - OK, this is the only restaurant I've ever been to that spins, but it is cool!

Favorite Deep Dish Pizza - Uno's - Chicago - Don't even think about it . . . This is the original stuff!

Favorite Breakfast Restaurant - Cracker Barrel - Biscuits n' apple butter :)

Favorite All Around Restaurant - Beamers - Corpus Christi - And it helps that we have come to love the family who owns it!

Best Dessert - Key Lime Pie - Water Street Seafood Company - Corpus Christi - INCREDIBLE! (Mom, I promise that your lemon pie with Ritz Cracker crust is so close in 2nd that you can't get a credit card between the two!)

Best Bar-b-que - Silverado Smokehouse - Corpus Christi - Now, I've gotta confess that I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the food, or a terrifying memory I have there of watching my friend John Richerson eat at least 15 lbs. of beef, sausage and ribs!

Greatest Cooks - Even Draw - Cindy & My Mom - And no, I'm not suckin' up - I've been blessed to be loved by two ladies who can 'dish it out' and love to do it! (Dottie Kratz & Jay Worley, you're both in the top ten . . . And if you invite us over to eat, who knows you might make my next list!)

Best Meal Ever - The one I eat every time right after I fast for over 24 hours!


OK, what are your favorite categories that I missed? What do you agree with? Disagree with? It's your turn, let's hear it?
