Now that we have bought a house in Dallas, I'm often asked if I like living there better than in Houston. I do like the fact that north Texas is closer to my kids, but I have to admit that I've left my heart in the Bayou City.
I could blog for a month on the things I miss, but since it is the holiday season I will stick with things festive.
Here is my Christmas list of things you can only get in Houston 1. Pancho Claus and his low-rider sleigh
2. cheap bling at Charming Charlie's
3. mosquito bites on Christmas Eve
4. festive green mold on your yard Santa
5. my parents' house 6. Tur-duc-kens
What are Turduckens you may ask. If you are from Dallas you will ask because you have never seen one. In Houston, we know good food because we live closer to New Orleans and we have more Cajuns. It was some of these Cajuns that invented the wonder known as a turducken. These are turkeys stuffed with a duck and a chicken and some dirty rice or crawfish jambalaya. Once you have one, it is hard to go back to the boring butterball turkeys you find in Dallas. Yes, I will be importing one up north to Dallas for the holidays.
