I heart Texas

We were fortunate enough to be the guests of Liz and Tommy last evening for dinner. They had the good taste to get married this year during Columbus Day weekend- their wedding was October 7, 2007- the day after ours!

It’s nice to see them so happy. Their place is really great, and their beagle puppy Abby is absolutely adorable! If there was any doubt where Liz is from- all you have to do is take a look at her home to see her Texas pride.

As an extra treat, Liz’s father Chuck Roy was visiting them from Texas, and he prepared an outstanding meal for all of us. Chuck is the author of a cookbook series called Cooking Lessons -- Recipes for Life as well as for Dinner. Each book has different stories about his family and recipes from their table.

We really enjoyed talking with him about family, his experiences as an engineer and at The Culinary Institute of America as well as his passion for fishing. He was kind enough to sign one for us. If you are interested, they are available for purchase at; www.lulu.com/royce1228
