Comfort food is the real rage now in all restaurants, cooking shows, etc.  I want to be up front with you.  I like comfort food.  Comfort food could be chicken soup.  Chicken soup seems to many to have some medicinal qualities.  I can’t confirm that, however, I never felt worse after a bowl.  Pot roast could be considered a comfort food.  I agree wholeheartedly.  How about chicken and dumplings.  Now that is something that could be good for your aura, and tastes good also.  Turkey and dressing, giblet gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce.  Well, why even ask about that one.

My number one, altime favorite comfort food is “wolf brand chili”.  I know, I have heard all the reasons why that product is practically undigestible.  But, folks, I love the stuff.  I have never eaten anyone’s chili that even comes close to having the taste of “Wolf Brand”.  My recipe for a good bowl of ole red is a big handful of crackers, sqished, about a quarter cup of ketchup, a big ole handful of grated cheese, and fill the bowl with bubbling wolf.  Stir and get after it.  It just makes me happy to eat the stuff.  I know each of you have a similar food that makes you happy.  Why not reply and tell me what it is. 

A comfort food is something that while you are eating it, well, you just want to sit there and puddle.  It brings memories of different times, happier times for some, and a feeling of warmth.  Patronize places that serve these types of food.  Every ethnic group has a comfort food.  Experiment.

I will have my “concealed Handgun License” class starting at 7:30 am on Saturday. It is an eight hour class and is supposed to teach you the rules and regulations for when you can whip out your pistol and start firing.  I am not sure that is what I am looking for in this course.  I think I am just trying to get legal.  I have been going to the shooting range and I do alright.  About 90% inside the torso area so I can pass that part of the exam.  There are some oddities about Texas law.  There are places where you can walk down the street with a pistol on your him except if you have a concealed handgun permit.  If you do have a CHL, well the gun has to be concealed.  I think I will just carry mine in my car and not worry so much when I am riding along the border of Mexico.

Cookie Ivey has started a movement on the Pecos website about what kind of cars were driven during the 50’s, 60’s etc.  I kinda wish I had my old green Studebaker.  I see a few old hotrods driving around Corpus and it brings back memories.  Funny that I have never seen a Plymouth Belevedere like the one David had.  That was a choice automobile.
