Trick Question

Posted By on November 28, 2010

The answer to the “Pecan or Pumpkin?” question . . .

APPLE!

My lovely South Carolina bride is an AWESOME baker and one thing she does particularly well is fruit pies.  Homemade crust, perfectly spiced (not too sweet), and LOTS of butter.  When ready for the oven, they are masterpieces.   The only thing better than her apple pie is peach when we have a good peach season.

And, as good as they are for desert, my favorite holiday breakfast is a slice of apple pie with crumbled bacon and white cheddar melted on top.  Sounds weird – tastes AMAZING (my wife says its horribly “Midwestern” of me).  I don’t know where I picked this up but combine it with a cup of strong coffee and a quiet,

and lots of butter!

ready for the oven - not "store-bought" crust here!

SWEET perfection!

pre-dawn house and it makes for a few moments of pure bliss!

North Texas Fly Fishing Adventures with Joel Hays

Imagine wading through ten inches of clear water,trying to be as quiet as possible. Fifty feet ahead is a pod of large fish "tailing" on the flat. You strip out fly line, make the cast, and pull your fly in front of the lead fish. After agonizing seconds the fish spots the fly, rushes forward for a quick grab, and feels the hook. The silence is broken as the fish accelerates across the flat, quickly exposing backing on your screaming reel. Sounds like a great day on the coast, or even an exotic bonefish flat, right? Actually it's a great description of the usual day my clients have fishing for Carp on the flats of Lake Ray Roberts where many clients are blown away by the water clarity and the actual ability to sight cast along miles of flats. Big spooky fish in shallow water. They fight and tail like Redfish and can sometimes rival Bonefish in nervousness. This is an EXCELLENT WAY to hone your flats fishing skills and test your "eyes" where it's more about stalking the fish than simply stumbling upon them. You will be a better flats angler!
