I'm sorry I can't be a Vegetarian.






As I was driving from an area where I was taking pictures of shrimp boats, I notice this building with  this nice lettering covering the walls .  I made a u-turn,  and pulled in the parking lot.  When I got out the car I came across a man.   I asked him was he the owner, he said no.  He pointed at the door and said the owner was inside.  I went inside asked could I take photos of the outside of  building,  he said yes.  I started taking pictures, as I did, the guy from earlier walked over to a smoker and started adding wood to it.  I've always been fascinated with large smokers (grills), my uncle in Thomaston always grilled.   I could remember the taste of the meat, it had a smoky flavor that I was in love with.  I asked the guy could I take photos of him managing the fire, he said sure.  I took a couple and said thanks as I walk off he said,  I'm about to put the meat in, do you want photos of that ?  Inside my head I was like, "Hell Yeah !!".   My mouth was watering the entire time.  These are some of the photos from that encounter, and to that young man, who's name is Fuzzy, I say thanks.

"Where's the BEEF !!!!!!!!"




Wait a minute. I thought this blog was about beef.  Here I am looking for sausages, franks, steaks, ground round, etc., etc..  All I see is this Chocolate Truffle Tart and this Chocolate Cinnamon Cream Pie, yummmmmmmmmmy !!  Man, I sure wouldn't mind sinking my teeth into that Fried Bittersweet Chocolate Bread.
 You know this blog may not be that bad after all.  Thanks Uncle !!!

Speaking of blogs, be on the look out for,"The Barkley Chronicles"  (The life of a Boston Terrier, who's never been to Boston.)

"Wild West series"


Here's a new painting called "Horse Thief".  Just my way of showing the black cowboys of the west.  I feel a new series coming on.  Maybe a Sheriff next ?!?

"Tasty Treats"


While I was in Paris, snacking on Macaroons became my addiction.  I don't know what it was, maybe it was the beautiful colors.  Or could it be they just taste damn good !?! (yeah, that's it)
