Fried Cabbage Texas Style


Ingredients:
1--head cabbage, thinly sliced
1--teaspoon sugar
6--slices bacon (I just used bacon grease, because I thinly sliced ham into mine)
5--tablespoons corn bread mix
1--small onion, chopped
3--cloves garlic, chopped
2--fresh jalapenos chopped (you can take out the seeds, I didn't)

Directions:
Put shredded cabbage into large bowl, and sprinkle sugar over it. This will remove the excess water from the cabbage. Cook bacon in a large skillet, until browned. Drain and crumble, and set aside. Reserve grease in skillet.Sprinkle cornbread mix over cabbage and mix thorougly, coating cabbage. Saute onions, garlic, jalapeno peppers and ham in skillet. Add cabbage, and saute until it starts to cook down, then add about a cup of water, put a lid on it and let it cook and finish wilting down. You can then sprinkle the bacon over the top and serve. I didn't do the bacon. Instead, I just used a couple of large tablespoons of bacon grease to saute everything in, and added thinly sliced ham to saute into it. You can just use the bacon sprinkled over the top if you want to. You can cut down on the jalapenos if you think that it will be too spicy. Also, taking out the seeds will make it less spicy.

Girlfriend doesn't get me

The Author of this post is Darius Boone

I am starting to wonder about my girlfriend and not in a good way. We have been dating for six months and I don’t think she understands me. I hate to say it, but she just seems concerned with herself. I keep hoping it is just me misreading her, but I am starting to wonder. The other day she was trying to help me save some money. And while the thought seems nice, the things she wanted me to cut back on were the things I love. I thought I should cut back on my entertainment expenses such as eating out and movies. Of course that would mean less dates for her, so she suggested cutting back on my Direct tv channels. Seriously!? That seems like the worst idea ever. Why would I spend more money seeing a movie one time than I would to see twenty different movies whenever I want. I think her suggestion might have been a little in her favor. I don’t blame here because every girl wants to go on big dates, but she has to understand that right now I can’t afford that.

    Puppies vs. Babies! The Ultimate Showdown!

    This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Puppies vs. Babies for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

    Ok! Willy has a dog but now Willy wants a baby.  A Grand Baby that is.  Willy got the word last week that one is on the way.   Well, that makes Willy feel good because right now when Willy goes around his friends they always are showing off pictures on these fancy phones that they have.  Yea! Fancy phones that have fancy pictures and I only have a cheap flip phone.  Yes, they are always showing pictures of their dogs or their babies and grandbabies.  .  One shows pictures of their beautiful puppy.  The other shows pictures of their beautiful baby.  Willy already said that he has a  dog that Willy could show but Willy now has a grand baby coming soon and Willy is ready to show off a picture.   Guess Willy better get the new phone show I can brag about my dog or my phone.

    Question is, which does Willy think is cuter, babies or puppies.   There is a great contest going on that is Puppies vs. Babies online contest.  This means that it is time for you to go out there and help the world decide the truth,Puppies vs. Babies.  You might even want to show them a picture of your puppy or baby. 

    Well, the contest entry is over but you still have time to help the world know whether or not PvB-CuteDar-Green-300x250-Backup.jpg

    the puppy is cuter than the baby. 

    Willy thinks that his hunting dog is cuter than most peoples ugly redneck  baby but that might change when this grand baby comes along.  Willy's daughter even has a beautiful dog but when her baby comes along the dog will take a back seat.  The dog is cuter than your baby but will never be cuter than my grand baby

    Go ahead.  Get out there and vote.  The world deserves to know. 

    Me?  I voted for the cutest hunting dog out there!  That will change when Willy's grandbaby comes along in those camoflouge clothes.

    Deserving Eyes are cooking,

    Willy is cooking up the idea that it is time to get new eyeglasses.   It was not long ago that Willy went to the eye docto.  It was there that they told Willy that his eyes has not changed and he did not need new glasses.  Well, willy agrees that the glasses that he has is fine.  However, Willy believes that he will take this opportunity to get some great sun shades that are prescription.

    This is where a company like Zenni will come in to play.  Willy has found them and has discovered that they make their own brand of glasses and do not sell some of the big time expensive crap that is out there.  Instead they sell their own brand and what is good it appears that these glasses can be every bit as nice as those designer brands.  The best part is that the cost is not there.  Because they do not use big time advertising and the fact that they have their own manufacturing and other great features, gives them the opportunity to bring a great product to the market at a much cheaper price than most.

    So, if you need to cook up a new set of glasses maybe you should check out Zenni.

    Southern Roots

    Post contributed by Leonard Phelps

    Being from the south meant I was really close to my family so when my wife got the job of a lifetime out here in Vegas it was a pretty scary proposition. I was worried to death that things would be so incredibly different out here and we’d never adjust but to be honest, other than the lack of trees and grass things aren’t all that dissimilar to being at home in the south! Housing is so cheap out here so we found a great place and have adt security las vegas and the two car garage and all that stuff we’ve been wanting forever. I can’t imagine a way of life that doesn’t include time outdoors with my kids and this is actually a really great city for that. There’s lots of hiking and day trips and places to explore that aren’t far away and even my wife is loving her new job which is good enough for me. There’s nothing I would do for some good southern cooking though!

    Willy wants a Telescope!

    Willy is cooking up some real time looking beyond the eye with some great Telescopes.  A good Telescope is something that Willy has always wanted since he was a small child.  Willy has now turned 60 and it is time for Willy to get his telescope.



    That is why Willy has started researching the world wide web for sites that have great telescopes for sale .
    That is when Willy has found that there are many types, quality, and kinds of instruments.  Now Willy has to really study to see which one and kind that he wants.   That is where skiesunlimited.net comes in to play.  This site has a lot of information and has the availability of great instruments that Willy can study and decide which one is right for Willy.

    So, if you are like Willy and you want that telescope that you should have had when you were a kid, then maybe you need to follow Willy's lead and get on the internet and find the one that you want.

    That is what is cooking up with Willy today.

    Time For a Gift - Watch

    Willy likes watches.  Willy was given a watch for his 8th grade graduation and Willy remembers that gift like it was yesterday.  Well, now Willy  likes great new chronograph watches

    Do you like watches like Willy likes watches.  Wow! That sounds like the line to a song.

    Willy wonders why Willy likes watches so much?  What is it that fascinates Willy.  Watches seem to loosing out to cell phones for time keeping across the younger demographics.  Willy thinks that is crazy because Willy knows what it takes to make a watch special?  To Willy it is the tech inside of that great watch? Yes, it is the mechanism along with the fact that many times some great person  gave that watch to Willy?  Those are the things that make a watch special to Willy.

    So, if you like watches like Willy likes watches, then you need to get over to bluedial.com.  There is where Willy and you can find a great watch at a great price.  You can then keep the watch give the watch or just sit around being proud of the great watch.  What do you think?

    Cooking was about Food

    Lots of Family in this past weekend and rather than writing this blog, life was really about food and people.

    Nine people were in the house most of the time and everytime Willy turned around eating was happening again.  Two of these people were less than two years old and a wonderful challenge.

    Willy did not write or even look at a computer.  Willy and Mrs. Willy was just cooking.
