Maybe the best popcorn ever (have to like blue cheese)!

I just sprinkled my bowl of late-night DU popcorn with a LIBERAL dose of grated Clemson (University) blue cheese. I hit a steak with this great blue cheese the other night. It was fab! The steak was from the 8-O'Clock Supperette in Greenville, SC, as was the Clemson blue cheese. The steak was prime+. Much better than Kuby's in Dallas. Oh, am I back in heaven, or what? I also bought six chickens (halved and trimmed). When I cooked that first half-chicken, I realized that I was missing something from the Winn-Dixie chickens in Brevard, like that chemical taste. No joke.

Anyone else shop at the 8-O'Clock? Best meats in the upstate.

BTW: Some are confused (and I am too!). We are gone from Texas. Period. I spend most of my time in the mountains, near Rosman, NC. However, we bought a flat in downtown Greenville, SC. Dr. DemoTex has established her partnership's third office (Chicago, Dallas, and Greenville, SC). We will split the three. But not for tax and voting purposes.

We could easily continue to claim a Dallas address to exempt us from from state income tax. We both said "Hell no!." We really want to join the new communities, and paying the state income tax is part of it. Otherwise, we are dead-beat, tax-dodging assholes, like the really-rich repubs. Know-what-I-mean-Vern?

I'll vote and pay taxes in SC. I just want to be up-front with my DU friends. I'll have my place in NC, and have one vehicle registered in NC, but I'll stick with Nancy in the SC residency.

Btw, blue cheese is great when it's stuffed in a big old burger patty before grilling.

No mess.

About being out of Texas?

I have this impression that it has become a giant, poorly-run insane asylum, you see...

since Bubya was elected Guv.

Texas is a fucked-up place. I really hope I do not cross that border again until Mexico or Spain owns the territory (again). They deserve it! H-2s and all. Remember, I can vent like this because my great-great uncle was the second president of the Republic of Texas (Mirabeau B. Lamar), also founder of the Columbus, Ga, "Ledger".

The migration continues. Maybe in a few years we'll dilute the repug power base suficciently that there'll be no more southern strategy for the gop.

Can't say that Blue Cheese on steak thrills me. Butter on steak, blue cheese on salad for me.

Into the fire ...

SC politics are even more atavistic than Texas politics. SC R-W religious nuts are among the worst in the world. My brother-in-law sends his 15 year-old daughter (previously "home-schooled") to the BOB JONES ACADEMY. He is an ultra-right fundy preacher. Like HST says, "Strange tales from strange times."

and my parents are both Democrats too! So that would make 5 of us in the state-counting the two of you. . . :7

Then it ain't the best popcorn ever. It might be the best thing to mix with blue cheese. I don't know.
