Tragedy in Brenham

“Hundreds of Blue Bell employees across the country will lose their jobs as the company works on cleaning and sanitizing their production plants. On Friday, Blue Bell said they made the ‘agonizing decision’ to reduce the size of its workforce as well as implement furloughs and salary reductions.”

We eat all we can and we sell the rest

bluebell_DSC2160This is the kind of dedicated picture-taking I wish I had but don’t. But I still like to look— especially at this Texas icon. Taken by a Texas foodie. Who lives in New Yawk. (Get a rope.) But is homesick. Course.

Happy Birthday Blue Bell

The fact is I try to stay away from ice cream because it makes me fat. But when I do break down and indulge a little–usually because we keep the stuff around for Mr. B.–it’s Blue Bell all the way. That’s long been the case for many Texans since the stuff is made here (in Brenham, between Austin and Houston) and has been, this year, for 100 years altogether. So happy BD, Blue Bell. Keep it up.
