One of my lady friends and I went down to Galveston this morning, took the ferry to the Bolivar Peninsula and drove to High Island to see the nesting birds at Houston Audubon's Smith Oaks Rookery. On our way back, we stopped for lunch at the Stingaree Restaurant. I had my usual Charbroiled Gulf Shrimp with Fries... ...and my lady friend had a combo of Fried Catfish and Boiled Shrimp.

Hi HC, I followed your method for my corned beef and cabbage dinner last night, except I used only the spices in the packet and only half the hot sauce. My husband really liked the heat the hot sauce added to the cabbage! Thank you!

Motel Room Nachos - used up some of the leftovers that have accumulated over the last several days while my lady friend and I have been on our road trip.

I preheated the shredded pork and the beans separately, then put them on a layer of chips and topped it with the cheese and salsa. Nuked the plate just until the cheese was melted.

My traveling lady friend and I arrived in Aransas Pass from San Antonio late yesterday afternoon. Today we spent the morning visiting a couple of the bird sanctuaries in Port Aransas and went to San Juan's Restaurant for lunch to refuel for an afternoon of more birding and photography. My lady friend had the Taquitos Mexicano with Frijoles. And I had a Crispy Beef Taco and a Refried Bean Tostata.
