Thirsty Thursday

LBJ | July 31, 2008

Since I can remember, I’ve loved tea.  I think my affinity for tea comes from my abnormal appetite to sip coffee as a child.  I remember sneaking a 4oz. foam cup and racing to the coffee pot to fill up and spoon heaps of powdered cream and sugar into my cup to mimic the adults I [...]

Smooth Road Ahead

LBJ | July 31, 2008

When we experience bumpy and dark moments in life there is the assurance of smooth and bright days to come.  If you read “In Memory Of…” my first day with my Brown Bag, you will remember that I lost a very close neighbor of mine.  Indeed it was a bumpy time for me and many others to navigate [...]

Go Sightseeing

LBJ | July 30, 2008

In these United States of America, there are many places to visit when taking in the sites and natural wonders of our country.  From Niagara Falls to the Seattle Space Needle, I’m sure we could create an incredible list of attractions in every state!  One of my local natural wonders is actually available in 3 [...]

National Cheesecake Day

LBJ | July 30, 2008

Hip-hip! Hooray! Hip-hip! Hooray! Today is July 30 and that means its National Cheesecake Day, and it also marks the 30th Anniversary of The Cheesecake Factory! To kick off their anniversary celebration, The Cheesecake Factory has decided to roll-back the price of a slice of cheesecake to mimic the price 30 years ago!  Today, and [...]

Tuesday’s Temptation

LBJ | July 29, 2008

Lately I have been secretly craving cookies like a pregnant woman craves [insert random thing to eat here]!  I don’t know what it is, but the smell of cookie dough baking and chocolate chips melting in the oven is very lulling to me. I don’t bake cookies too often because I know I run the risk [...]

Seafood Fly

LBJ | July 29, 2008

Have you ever traveled out of your hometown and return with great memories?  These memories typically stay with you for a while and you can’t help but share them with others via email, pictures and the traditional storytelling.  There are also times when other relatives and loved ones travel to the same places you’ve been, and [...]

Send Me the Samples

LBJ | July 28, 2008

Is there anyone in this world that does not like going to the grocery store when the free samples are out?  Have you ever had a sample that was so good, you walked a few more aisles in the store to circle back, hoping the server wouldn’t remember you, to get another?  That’s how I feel about the samples I [...]

Can You Take the Heat?

LBJ | July 28, 2008

I believe that in every person’s life there comes a point when they will know if they can tolerate hot and spicy foods or turn away and run like Super Mario when he gets burned on his bottom by a fireball.  For me, hot and spicy foods have been a part of my life since I was [...]

For the First Time…

LBJ | July 25, 2008

Were you, or are you currently a fan of cold foods that are normally served warm?  Most of us have had the experience of eating cold pizza, cold fried chicken, cold macaroni & cheese, cold cornbread dressing, cold [you fill in the blank].  Have you ever tried cold soup? Before you turn up your nose [...]

Brown Bag Bragging

LBJ | July 25, 2008

Eating breakfast has always been a challenge for me.  Most traditional breakfast foods are heavy and put me in slow motion versus breaking the fast from the night and giving me a boost of energy to start my day.  Most times, I turn to fruit, yogurt, granola and sometimes a combination of all three to [...]
