Pancho's mexican Buffet...

  As a kid from Mesquite Texas, dinner at Pancho's meant
a full tummy and all the sopaipilla's i could stuff in my mouth.  $5.50 + tax.  There was always a long line no matter what time you went.  The food was great and the dinning experience a treat.  Many a night was spent at Pancho's with family and friends.

  Over the years Pancho's has been slowly closing down location's.  There are only a few left.  Last night was a trip to Pancho's in Denton.  Upon arrival I was unsure if the place was open.  My first clue went unnoticed.  The memory of mouth watering sopaipilla's smothered with butter and honey was fogging up my common sense.  Didn't take any food pics.  During and after eating, my mood was that of major disappointment.  Felt like the end of an era was happening right before my eyes.  Walking out the front door I looked up and saluted the half lit Pancho's sign.  Thanks for the year's of good times and good food.  Those days are now gone.  And I am very sad.

The Original Pancake House Frisco Tx.

Best breakfast in Town.  There's a reason why you almost always have to wait 15 -20 minutes to get a table.  
GOOD HOT FOOD!!!
Two people about $$$ "20 to 22" buks.  My favorite breakfast spot.  Fast and friendly server staff.  Once you are in your food will be at your table within 10 minutes.  Free Outside Coffee while you wait.  Cya there...

A Day in the Line @FranklinBBQ Aug. 27th 2011

  Laurie dropped me off at 9:15 am in front of Franklin BBQ Austin to be first in line.  Then have plenty of time to be rested for the Gettin Sauced event later that day.  She left to drop off my sauce at the event site, then swing back by and pick me up.  30 minute's later she calls saying no one was there.  Long story short, by the time I got back, 100 people where in front standing in the 110 degree heat. That's were this story begins. 

Jonathan Hoo & his family, "from NY" where in Austin on vacation.  They decided to brave the heat and the "Franklin" line to eat some of the best brisket in the country.  We both then took pictures almost simultaneously, his the line in back of him, and me the line in front of me.  A few days later I was surfing on twit-pic and found his picture.  Since then we have became good twitter friends.  Hope to visit NY someday and hang-out at Riverwalk Bar & Grill where he is the owner. 

Notice the 2 people in the middle of both pics, the guy looking at his phone.

Rihanna - We Found Love in a Hopeless Place...

Yellow diamonds in the light
And we’re standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
But I’ve gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
Shine a light through an open door
Love and life I will divide
Turn away cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
But I’ve gotta let it go
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Place the ham on your rotisserie spit and place on the grill over a medium to low heat. Cook for about 13 minutes per pound or about 1 hour for a 5 pound ham. Meanwhile combine the honey, lemon juice, cinnamon and cloves. When the internal temperature reaches about 150 degrees F begin brushing the honey mixture over the surface of the ham. Once it is well coated start sprinkling the sugar over the ham. You want to get an even coating. Close lid and continue roasting until the sugar has started to turn brown and you can no longer see the sugar crystals. Turn off the heat, but leave the rotisserie running for 10 minutes to allow the sugar to set. Carefully remove ham from grill and rotisserie. Carve and serve.

• 1 5-pound ham, fully cooked
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Honey-Glazed Ham

From: The Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook by Diane Phillips
(Harvard Common Press; October 2002; ISBN: 1558322337; PB)
Cookbook Heaven @ Recipelink.com

Every year the purveyors of spiral sliced ham run advertisements that make your mouth water. Including beauty shots of a glistening ham with a crackly coating. Your rotisserie can help you to achieve the same crispy coating, and for a lot less than that ham from the store. Basting with a combination of honey and raw sugar during the last 30 minutes of cooking time will give you that delicious, crunchy glaze.
Servings 8
• One 5-pound fully cooked boneless or bone in ham
• Spiced Honey Glaze:
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 cup raw sugar crystals
1. Load the ham onto the spit rod assembly and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 160 degrees, about 13 minutes per pound.
2. While the ham is cooking, combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
3. About 30 minutes before the ham is done, stop the machine and brush the ham with the honey glaze. Then sprinkle the sugar crystals evenly over the glaze. Restart the machine and continue roasting.
4. Remove the ham from the spit rod, being careful not to knock off any of the crust. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Mark 10:42-45

⁴²But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.  ⁴³But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
 ⁴⁴And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
 ⁴⁵For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
