I'm posting this on the Family blog because it really falls under Mom's side of the universe.You never know what you'll find in stores around the city here in Amman. Most of the stuff is Chinese knock-offs and locals know if you see something you want, buy it on the spot or you'll probably never see it again.
A few weeks ago, I was in Bashiti Hardware (Jordan's version of Home Depot minus the lumber) and stumbled across this in the Lawn & Garden section. I have to admit I got a little misty-eyed and, with hand on heart, broke out in a soft rendition of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" in honor of my Southern ancestry.
Now, I can't find good BBQ in this town. I've been around a bit and no one has Uncle Carrell's brisket under a heat lamp with a side of potato salad and sweet tea. But, someone, in their wisdom thought it fitting to import some Tejas to the Middle East... even if it was missing the special sauce.Scott
