Even before we made the decision to move to Pflugerville earlier this summer we have been planning a trip to Utopia, TX. Well, Josh H has been planning a trip and we are generally along for the ride, which as it turned out was fine for us considering we just moved in to our new house the weekend before.

This was the second time that I've been to Utopia and one thing that I can count on is to spend a lot of time in the kitchen with Josh H.

There's easily a couple hundred acres to be had and generally we spend the majority of our time in the small 6x6 kitchen.

You might be wondering why Josh K and myself are seemingly attacking white clumps of dough with large knives. That's a valid concern. We learned that frozen biscuits are absolutely delicious, BUT don't let them thaw and then re-freeze. If that happens you end up with a (as mentioned before) large white clump of dough. In the end these biscuits turned out yummy - thanks to the chainsaw.

Hilarity ensues with the Fry Daddy! First, plastic bags obviously melt when they come in contact with hot metal and next, hot grease narrowly escapes my head when the picnic table hosting the Fry Daddy tips over in mid-fry. Unfortunately, there goes my HUGE bass - right onto the grass. However, considering I walked away with no blisters I was glad to see the fried fish there on the ground.

This looks strange, but it is actually normal behavior for Josh H and David. They do this all the time, much to the chagrin of Alicia and Kandy.

Besides me catching the biggest fish (and probably the biggest bass of my life) in 6" of water, the only obvious thing here is that Josh H needs to work out more.

Not really sure who's winning here - Kandy or the tube...
