Family, Food and Fun

I get the same thing every time and have been getting the same thing for too many years to count. It always satisfies that good old Tex-Mex craving. Teddy Roosevelt ate here and they have a dedicated plate to him on the menu. I always have the cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. Chips and salsa and a Tecate with lime. Yummy!!! Super low key and very local. Since 1925. My other favorite is Benito's The BEST chili relleno I have ever had anywhere!!!

BBQ at Angelos in Fort Worth,Texas

I go here because the place is an institution in town. I enjoy the chopped beef sandwiches here but we got the ribs instead. This place is 100% full on atmospheric and almost seems like being in a time capsule of a small western town. This place has a big stuffed bear upon entering. That bear was always a bit daunting as a child upon entering Angelos. They have now decided (unfortunately) to put a t-shirt and cap on him. Why? I recommend Angelos for a cultural experience because there is no other like it in town. I prefer the ribs at the Railhead, definitely more flavor and not as fatty. Like I said already, can't beat the scene at Angelos.

Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum, Fort Worth, Texas. Rodeo

We went down to Texas and paid a visit to the Rodeo on Sunday. It was quite grand! I will be posting more images from our visit to Fort Worth. We were lucky to be there during a warmish spell. A nice break from the cold of New York. And we were very lucky to leave just in time before the big ice storm moved in and back into the deep freeze of the North. I experienced some very colorful and interesting folk while on my visit. I had some delicious Mexican food and BBQ, heard a little bit of Country music and just relaxed into the slow and easy pace of Texas.

These Faces Made Me Smile Today

A glorious day and reprieve from the deep freeze we have been living in for the past month or so! Everyone is happy! Madison Square Park, New York City.
