Good Lord!

That's it. I'm buying my own chickens. And growing my own veggies. And fish. And cows.

I tripped in to Nacogdoches yesterday afternoon and brought home a little bit of everything they served (yeah, house fried rice, Mongolian beef, house lo mein, you name it). Ate every bite. I'm now writing you from the afterlife to let you know it's no big deal.

Yep. A redneck like me married a lady from Sumatra and really got a good taste of cooking. Hell I spent hours in the street market of Singapore hunting egg rolls. Aw Spring rolls. I eat from street vendors in Bangkok, Medan, Panang? And where ever. Never sick. Maybe the booze?
