It’s all about eating here in Texas, especially since we arrived the day before thanksgiving. Tonas mum told me that I could just buy a new pair of jeans if mine are getting a little tight!
Last night it was my turn to cook.
A kiwi lamb roast for the family with Russ carving the meat. A little hiccup as I started cooking the meat at 180 (thinking Celsius) and two hours later realised it was farenheight and all I was doing was warming it up! Temperature corrected and all turned out well (if a little later than planned)
This morning was church – the meaning of Christmas service – with lots of singing and very relaxed atmosphere. We met lots of Tona and Chucks friends who were all very welcoming.
Then off to lunch at the local airport with Tonas mum and dad!
A local seafood restaurant with delicious prawns, stuffed crab and crawfish!
James enjoying the fish tank, before heading home to pack up and head back to their home!
The sun came out and it was a lovely warm afternoon!
Russ had a rest and then Chuck took us for a drive to Quintana – south of Lake Jackson, where all the industrial, petrochemical HUGE plants are!
Freeport container port near the gulf coast
New LPG conversion plant being built!
Huge industry and the development of a major US income.
Back home as the sun was setting, left over roast for dinner! And an early night as our hosts are back to work tomorrow! Might need to earn my keep and do some chores around the house!
