The Forgiveness Tour continues ...
I am writing to you as I make my way from one fabulous Texas city to another. People are friendly, the sun is shining, the coffee, Praise Be! is strong! and I've learned quite a bit!
* Texas faToids *
The world's largest oatmeal cake was baked and built in Bertram, Texas during Labor Day weekend 1991. The 33-layer cake stood more than 3 feet tall, weighed 333 pounds, and served 3,333 people,
In Houston, it is illegal to sell Limburger cheese on Sunday.
In Lefors, it is illegal to take more than three swallows of beer at any time while standing.
The Big Texan Steak Ranch Restaurant in Amarillo serves a 4½ pound steak for free, if you can eat it in an hour. (That is the equivalent of 18 - 4 ounce servings, 7,200 calories.)
Enjoy your weekly jigsaw puzzle and these juicy faToids.
Spread the word (NOT the icing!),

Janice, we were happy to welcome you here to Texas (especially "weird Austin"!) You were a delight yesterday and I hope you come again soon. I will certainly look you up next time I'm in the NYC area. ~Victoria
Hi Janice, My honey, Fred, actually once went to that restaurant in Amarillo, and he did eat the whole steak in an hour. He was 25 at the time, so he didn't drop dead from the saturated fat. But when he was 66 he had a triple bypass, and now he has to be on Lipitor. So those days are over for him now. -- Nathanne
