Dr Pepper addiction is a sure sign you're from Texas. We used to bring it to my cousins in Michigan (that would be the part of Michigan where you need two hands to show your hometown.)
I still love the real cane sugar Dr Pepper or Mexican Coke.

The cane sugar ones DO taste better. High fructose corn syrup is an abomination.

I can't tell the difference. Wish I could, but I can't.
But back when Coke became "New Coke," I chanced upon an "old" Coke at a gas station, and there was a HUGE difference.

Ugh. Gross. New coke.

While we're talking about beverages with regional appeal, let's not forget Sundrop and Cheerwine.

A Sundrop would taste good right now.

There's a store near me that sells Sundrop, Cheerwine, and other rare carbonated beverages.

Speaking of TX and drinks... I moved here and became a beer drinker. Shiner, Lone Star ("The National Beer of Texas"... that always cracks me up), St. Arnold's, Karbach, No Label, etc.

I love my Sam Adams, but for the most part, I drink Texas beers now

The No Label Brewery is a stone's throw away from my home.

Alas, I don't like beer!

I woke up this morning with a hankering for pimento cheese and hummingbird cake (not necessarily together).

I blame this thread.

And neither hankering has been met yet.

Pimento cheese - Zoe's Kitchen
Hummingbird cake - Empire Bakery

if only Houston were a little closer.

Actually, I can make my own of both if I had the time. But I have a number of sources for good pimento cheese, and the weekend ins't over yet.

Is there a bad way to have pimento cheese?

How about pimento cheese fritters?



Actually, maybe macaroni and cheese with pimento cheese is a possibility tonight. Hmmmm.

And that cake is beautiful -- maybe too pretty to cut! But where are the nuts? I've got to have nuts on hummingbird cake.
