Holidays....bah hum bug

Ain't no sense mak'n a big deal out of today eat'n turkey an' stuff like that. But it do make a guy kind of miss be'n with family around a big ol' table full of scrumptious food. I rekon this is the one day most families look forward to....other than Christmas. Sad to say, but the old Billy Bob ain't into the big holidays.....birthdays, Easter bunnies an' stuff like that. An' I sure don't want to be on a highway on a day like this.

Went off towards town yesterday. Walmart ya know. Got down to the intersection of the highway and decided to head off to Rockport where OFM Barney lives. Bout 35 mile ya know. Drop off my my empty medication bottle at Walmart and go visit with Barney for a spell. Yup, he home. We sit out in the yard, since it was a beautiful day, jaw'n for a bit. Then we head on down to the harbor to catch us up some nice eat'n size fish. Barney hook into a great big ol' Spanish mackerel before the old Billy Bob catched his first rock. That was it....one fish for the both us. Where are all the fish at???

On the way home, I stop off at the local Churches fried chicken place in Aransas Pass an' pick me up a box of chicken and some jalapenos. Now that's some good Thanksgiv'n day eat'n. I don't even like turkey, so Churches chicken is my first choice above all other holiday feasts. Although, a plate of enchiladas, refried pintos and rice sure do sound good.

Ok....got things to do. "billy bike" needs some attention.

    1. I would like to do it someone elses way....you know, cook the old Billy Bob a belly fill'n dinner with all the trim'n, wait on him hand an' foot....then go outside and wash "that jeep" while he's sleep'n on the couch. Damn....I like that idea.

  2. How about we (all of us BB fans) sit around and chew the fat - figuratively speaking, of course, and Thanksgiving dinner of sorts? Grandma and I are having chicken and noodles, cranberry salad, pumpkin' pie, mashed potatoes, and three football games today. Happy Thanksgiving, and good fishing'!

    1. See, I ain't the only one what don't like turkey. Chicken an' noodles sounds fine with me.

  3. I don't really care to celebrate any of the holidays either. When I'm around family I can't get out of it though.

    1. I rekon if'n I was within range of family, I would go sponge off 'em for a free meal. Get'n where I don't like my own cook'n no more. Ain't really the cook'n part, it's the preparation and clean up after. Hate do'n dishes.

  4. I like the stuffed jalopinoes at Jack in the Box. Goes good with anything or just by them selves. My son invited me down to his place for some ham, think I will go. Have a happy Thanksgiving.

  5. Stuffed jalapenos??? That's disgusting for someone to ruin a perfectly good jalapeno by stuff'n it with junk food to disguise it's natural taste. Crab & cheddar stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon are pretty good on the grill.
