Ozarka Spring Water is simply the best I have tasted. Water is water, you say? I beg to differ. Many spring waters have a funky aftertaste … some have strong mineral overtones … some take on the taste of its plastic packaging. Ozarka is very clean tasting — no hint of anything except fresh, clean spring water from their natural sources at various East Texas springs. Wish we could find it here in FL. No such luck … we have to settle for Zephyrhills Spring Water, which is OK but not nearly as crisp & refreshing as Ozarka. And don’t get me started about the bottled filtered waters like Aquafina or Dasani. You may as well just run a little tap water through a pair of your wife’s stockings (or hubby’s gym socks). Read this story and you’ll surely agree: http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/07/27/pepsico.aquafina.reut/
Something Else I Miss about Texas

A Favorite BBQ Sauce
17 JunOne of our favorite sauces is the BBQ sauce sold at the City Market BBQ in Luling, TX. We picked up a massive bottle of the sauce (contained in an old Lipton Iced Tea Mix bottle) while we were living in the Houston area. That’s the type of place it is — downhome and informal. The sauce is an orange/brown color and is buttery smooth to the taste. We have used it for chicken and pork … even fish. It was a perfect match for our homemade fried salmon cakes (a staple in our household). The sauce finally ran out this week … creating a bit of a panic. I guess I’ll try to order some more, but I’m not sure if they ship sauce this far away. Guess I’ll try to find out today.
Luling, TX is a true BBQ mecca and a must-visit town for the true Q devotee. Have a look below for a couple of shots from the original Luling City Market. Such a cool place — and really good food!
As I’ve said many times, you can’t judge a book by its cover!
Brisket, Ribs, or Sausage??? — Yes, please!

Gas Station Chicken Wars Break Out in North Mississippi
Lindsey’s Chevron station on North Lamar in Oxford, MS does sell gasoline. Yet they are far more famous for their chicken salad. You heard me right — chicken salad! And you know what? It’s pretty darn good. Not sure exactly what the recipe might be. I can tell you there is lots of shredded white […]

Pimento Cheeseburger at The Lamar Lounge – Oxford, MS
This burger, without question, is one of my favorite dishes in North Mississippi. We have lived in Oxford going on 3 years now, but it took us a while to find this gem of a bar/restaurant. The Lamar Lounge is a part of John Currence’s Oxford Culinary Empire. At last count, Currence operated 5 eateries […]

The Best Biscuits In Oxford, Mississippi
Oxford, Mississippi is a beautiful little college town. A very Southern town. And a foodie town. For a town of its size, Oxford has lots of interesting dining choices. Especially if you enjoy deep fried, bacon laced downhome cuisine. You’d think that great home-style biscuits would be as prevalent as Hotty Toddy t-shirts on Ole […]

New Orleans: A 4-Day Weekend
We took a 4-day tour around the Crescent City with the family. Although we had been there many times before, there were still things we haven’t seen … so many great places we haven’t dined. DAY ONE: Our first stop was Magazine Street, a shopping district to the south of the French Quarter from Canal […]

New Orleans Trip #1
New Orleans has always been one of our favorite cities to visit. Not only is there a lot to do, there is a lot to eat. This particular trip with our boys was going to be a combined Dixiedining.com eating tour of New Orleans and an educational History Class field trip. Our home base was […]
