« taste of texas »
There is an unwritten law in Texas which states that if ever you are hosting people from out of town, you must -- without exception -- take them for authentic Tex-Mex cooking. So, being law-abiding types, that's just what we did last night.
Helen, above, is my sister-in-law: Marcus' brother Matt's wife. She is kind and patient and true, not to mention smart as a whip. She just finished medical school, and is currently doing her residency. This is a good thing, not just because of the generally-accepted ideology that pursuing a career in medicine is admirable, but also because when you are married to fearless (and somewhat reckless) types like Marcus and Matt, it's often advantageous to have a doctor in the family.
Song: Patience by Take That. Today's song brought to you by Helen.

sounds like you are enjoying your visit...how wonderful! have a fabulous day!
Tex-Mex sounds so good right now. I'm starving.
Happy Thanksgiving! I hear you about having a doctor in the family. And Tex-Mex? Yum.
What a beautiful photo...
While traveling the InterWebs, I came across a statistic saying that the evening before the USA Turkey Day, the most common meal is PIZZA, with its many methods of getting to the table (delivery, frozen, take-n-bake). TexMex does sound yummy, tho.
It is always handy to have doctor in the house... reminds me of an old dutch joke: A comedian is attending an extraordinarily boring play. All of a sudden he yells:"Is there a doctor in the house?"the play grinds to a halt and a gentleman on the 9th row says "Yes indeed!" 'Don't you think this play is extremely boring " the comedian asks... I do hope you will have a authentic Thanksgiving with your guests from overseas!
