Happy Birthday to Texas!

When you work for a proud Texan, this is a shape you are no doubt guaranteed to see from time to time: I live and work in Minnesota, but it just so happens one of my bosses is a Texas grad and proud of it. So in honor of Texas Independence Day on March 2, 1836, he and his wife (who has an Aggie background) supplied the staff with molasses cookies in the shape of Longhorns and cowboy hats. Attached to the plate of goodies, there was a sign that read "In honor of Texas Independence Day."
Since I've almost always lived within an hour of the Lone Star state, it seemed almost normal that a bit of Texas pride seeped right over into the workplace. I've always been amazed that Texans are so proud of their heritage...
all that was missing from this celebration was a big batch of BBQ.

Well, Hook 'Em. He should have brought barbecue. Can you get good barbecue in the tundra?

NO, and NO.

There is a local place that the same Texan recommends...JR's Ribs.... owned and operated by a Texan... but haven't checked it out yet.
