 Shrimp & Grit, the 2018 Foodways Texas Symposium, has concluded. I had a grand time! The World Premiere of Donut People, a short food film by Keeley Steensen & I on Friday afternoon was the high point for me. I will post the film here as soon as it is released publicly. The movie […] 
Shrimp and Grit: A Foodways Texas Symposium April 12-14 Houston, TX The 2018 Foodways Texas symposium, “Shrimp and Grit: Food and Community Along the Texas Gulf Coast,” focuses on the joys and struggles of life on the Texas Gulf Coast as seen through its foodways.

(And we thought we were getting away from Galveston’s tropical storms!) Temperatures are near freezing and the wind is howling like a choir of banshees. We can’t light a peat fire in the stove because […]  Dear Friends: I’ve been doing a lot of fishing lately.

He wanted to try the bacon enchiladas–two cheese enchiladas with bacon inside and a sunny side up egg on top–it’s our number one brunch entree. Billy loved them.
