Mr. Second Monday is smiling

Published

Posted April 9, 2016
I went to gas up my car this morning and came back by the Bowie Knife and looked out at all the activities going on in my hometown. I saw kids playing soccer, Second Monday visitors shopping, and when I drove on through town to go home I saw all the revitalization in downtown. We may struggle when the oil boom ceases but whether you are a native Bowieite, a tourist or a World Champion Cowboy hunting a bargain at our renown Trade Days, this little city has True Grit!! We never give up and Mr. Second Monday is smiling down on his hometown today. Build a Better Bowie!!
Jan Brashear Browning, Bowie
Editor’s Note: Mrs. Browning is referring to her grandfather Marvin Brashear when she speaks of “Mr. Second Monday.” He was one of the key figures in getting Second Monday expanded to its present location.

Living allergic in a food-centered world

Food is supposed to bring people together.
It sits at the center of our holidays, church potlucks, birthday parties, first dates, family reunions and late-night kitchen conversations. In Texas especially, I feel like feeding people is one of the purest forms of love we know. We celebrate with casseroles, comfort with pies, and gather around smoked meats and shared desserts.
Food is hospitality. Food is belonging.
But for some people, food is also calculation.
Before the appetizers even arrive, some of us are already scanning ingredients, evaluating risk, rehearsing questions, and trying to determine whether asking those questions is about to make everyone at the table uncomfortable.
