Hey, great can hardly wait to hear how the ‘mellon wine’ turns out.

On Texas Culture, I learned to love it. Never will forget many things about it. Like when I was in the Army, and finished training at Ft. Devens, Mass., and was transferred to Ft. Wolters, TX - we flew from Boston (where they gave you a long silent down their nose look if you asked them what time it was.) and then we flew to Dallas, bus to Ft. Worth and then another bus to Ft. Wolters. Well, three of us were walking around looking over the town while waiting for one of the bus connections and asked a feller wearing an old western hat and shirt, jeans and old boots if he would recommend some place to get a bite to eat - he immediately said “Sure fellas, was just gettin ready to have a bite myself - how bout joinin me” He took us to the Farmer’s Daughter (WOW what a restaurant) and we had HUGE steaks - fantastic! When the bill came, he told the waitress -”These fellers got a job to do - I’m payin for their meals.” I have tried to carry on his act ever since.
