University of Texas daughter's '11 recruitment

[Benzgirl]

I go to Texas about once a month and sorry guys, not a fan of the food. I love Mexican, but all you can find in the Big D is Tex-Mex. If I never had Tex Mex again, it would not kill me. Sometimes I feel that if I have it again, it will kill me.

I always love when LadyLonghorn comes out of retirement.

Wary, good luck to your DD. My cousin's daughter is currently a Kappa at UT.

Love the use of food for your story! Best wishes to your DD Wary.
and being a fellow Texan I will have to root for
Frito Pie
Shiner
and Dr. Pepper (Dublin style)

Benzgirl, do NOT judge Texas by Dallas. You can't swing a dead cat here in Houston without hitting a fantastic restaurant and many of them are neither Tex or Mex. Ethiopian to Cuban, Italian to Japanese, Greek to Middle Eastern - it's one of the things I missed most when I lived in TN. Texas food itself is more than Tex-Mex. Our fabulous seafood, east Texas coastal cuisine influenced by Louisiana, southern cuisine in the piney woods (the tea is sweet - that's how you know you are there), it's amazing.

Back to your regularly scheduled recruitment thread.

I recently saw a Food Network segment on Blue Bell and they said they they are only sold in 14 states. Mostly in the southern part of the country (I guess they must have included NM and AZ as southern states)

But good luck to your daughter. My favorite it Blue Bell.

MMM I love fried catfish-one of my favorite foods as a child. As far as Frito pie goes I had to tell one of my colleagues from Georgia what this dish was and how to make it-I thought frito pie was everywhere! Now I want some Blue Bell-the best ice cream in the country. Ok I am rooting for those 3

As far as the mexican food in Dallas is concerned-it is gross! You need to come further south for good Tex Mex.

Unfortunately, that is the only place I go in Texas. I love the Gulf Coast seafood and have many fond memories of going "crabbing" as a child. In fact, I keep looking for good seafood in Dallas and they look at me cross-eyed.
