Cowboy Karma and Wings Ahoy
Last Saturday we had more than one person come in and mention that our chili and stuffed jalapenos were good luck charms. Eaten no doubt in some arcane and complex ritual; I am not certain but had imagined monotonic chants, silver chalices and flowing garments. Some people will do anything for football.
As I rang up a couple of quarts and a six pack of peppers the person across the counter commented: "We brought some of your chili over to a friend's house when the Cowboys played the Saints and they won!"
"Oh, that's nice", I thought to myself. A little while later another person came in and declared that he and his family were going to have stuffed jalapenos for every Cowboy game from now on because they ate them during both wins against Washington and the Eagles. Evidently our chili and peppers contain some sort of magic so potent as to cure a 13 year playoff win draught. I am on board with this notion. I think Jerry Jones himself should enjoy some chili and peppers while surrounded by the astounding opulence that is his solid gold master stateroom in the new stadium. I am sure I would be arrested long before I got close enough to deliver any. If anyone has any ideas email me.
We have been trying to bring back the wings. The BBQ I had been using to smoke them was just an el cheapo Wal-Mart special, not suited to smoking 40 pounds at a time. I was using hardwood lump charcoal and it was a messy ordeal. After buying, and returning, two different electric smokers we still haven't found an answer that suits our space requirements. The units we bought were both defective, something I later learned is not uncommon to this particular brand after I wised up and looked at reviews on the internet. Wings will be back soon, even if I have to fire up the old grill and stand around poking at the charcoal fire in sub-freezing temperatures.
Lastly let's welcome Melissa! Fran met her at Mawker coffee at the Dallas Farmer's Market where she works weekends. Melissa will help out running the Kitchen and is the first new face in what will be more as we work toward the expansion.
Don't forget our expanded hours: Tuesday -> Saturday 11:00 am to 4:00 pm
