Pretzle update. I have never been one for subtle flavors. Lemon scented green tea tofu just ain't my style. So I got busy working on an upgrade to the pretzle. This is my first attempt. Since it was supposed to be jalapeno flavored, I decided that was a good way to start. So here is the cheddar and jalapeno version. You will additionally notice that the upgrade included a beer with decidedly unsubtle flavor. This turned out to be pretty tasty.
Yankees have a much different view on life than do people from Texas. I will give you an example. We lived in Boston during the early 70's. At that time Boston was on hard times. All you ever heard from the press and the people was "What is the government going to do to help us?" When we arrived in Texas in 1980, there followed a crash in the oil patch in 1983. What you heard from the people in Texas was "What am I going to do to get me out of this mess?" Yankees wonder what the government is going to do for them and Texans wonder what they are going to do to help themselves. This is a big difference. Anybody who expects the government to do something for them is an idiot. The government doesn't give a rat's ass about you. Politicians don't give a rat's ass about you. Take care of yourself and you will do just fine.
Visiting a place that does not exist is not for the faint of heart. Eating the concoction pictured here is also not for the faint of heart. Because of the latter you have the fortitude to attempt the former.
I am puzzled by the need for a Yankee to become "reformed."
As a reformed Yankee, I have done my best to adapt to this lifestyle. I have lived here for 27 years. I like it. There is no snow, there is little prolonged rain, the people here don't have their bodies pierced and tattooed and it is a pretty cool place. I would look forward to visiting Renton this summer, if it existed. Which it doesn't.
