Hello, Ruth.

I agree with that.  In some ways, I still miss the military.  It was one of the
few times in my life that I felt I "belonged" and enjoyed the comradarie.
There's a lot of things I don't miss, of course <G>, but I'm glad that I did
it, even though it was short.  I really grew up in the Army and it made me
realize just how lucky I was in a lot of respects (such as having a caring,
loving family - a lot of my fellow soldiers didn't have a family to speak of).

That and lifetime medical care - without the VA, my diabetes would have gotten
the best of me.

Native Texans are good, friendly people.  Those pesky transplants are nothing
but trouble.  I used to have a sticker on my car when I lived in Texas that
read "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could." ;)

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Texas Corn Bread
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 6 servings

      1 c  Yellow corn meal
    1/2 c  Flour
      1 c  Buttermilk
    1/2 c  Sweet milk
      1    Egg, beaten
    1/4 c  Melted butter
      1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Soda
      1 tb Baking powder

  Mix corn meal, flour and salt.  Add all the other ingredients and let
  stand at least 5 minutes without mixing. Grease the skillet well and
  heat it. Now stir in mixture and pour it into the skillet.  Cover the
  skillet and bake it on the coals, checking every few minutes to see
  that the heat is right. It is cooked when the top crust is a golden
  brown color. You will find that the bottom is somewhat moist at this
  time. That is fine, for it should be.
