This months HooHaa Photo Blogging Challenge theme was RED. I was really surprised at the lack of RED in my photostream considering Valentine's Day being all about red. But I did my best, here we go.
This is actually one of my boys' sandwich wraps but it looked enough like a table cloth and it's RED!
We had a string of cold, rainy days, not as many as some of you, I'm sure. Anyway, it warmed up quite nicely after a string of these so it was pleasant to dine al fresco.
My wife made little baked fruit pies one day. The next day, she used her left over crust to make these little savory meat pies. They were delicious.
Many people know that Waco is the birthplace of Dr Pepper but it is also the home of Big Red. For me, nothing goes better with BBQ than an ice cold Big Red! Their old advertising is true, "it's not strawberry, it's definitely not cherry, it just tastes RED!" That concoction, by the way, is Vitek's Gutpak. It's a little like a Frito pie with BBQ. It won the Cooking Channel's Best College Food competition last year.
To wrap things up, the boys asked for tickets to see Imagine Dragons for Christmas. We obliged. I wasn't real familiar with the music but enjoyed myself as did they. They definitely listen to stuff I can't stand. This, fortunately, was quite entertaining. And they covered Rush's Tom Sawyer for us older folks. So they can't be all bad.
So, take a look at the other entries over at HooHaa's Blog and check back here next month to see what we have cooked up!

Great photos, complemented nicely by your write-ups. I can't do concert photography to save my life...great job on your part.
I could be encouraged to visit Waco, just to smell that food you've posted. Looks delicious. Well, and since I am a Dr. Pepper aficionado as well. Do they have a factory tour there?
i love Imagine Dragons ... very cool that you got to see them. And your reds ... very cool interpretation of the challenge
Nice the weather cooperated for you to dine outside. If we tried that here I think I'd freeze my frescos off.
I love the red gingham. Brings back memories of the sixties kitchens. I had yellow gingham curtains.
I could tuck into the meat pie right now.
Your photos are ones I always look forward to, Mike. Imagine Dragons are pretty good. One of their songs popped on when I was going for the interview for my current job back in November. Every time I hear it, that's what I think about now.
