 IT'S RODEO TIME! 

Every year, San Angelo looks forward to February but not for the day of hearts. Although special it may be, Valentines Day is not February's biggest event for this small town. It's the Annual San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo along with the fun games and rides of the carnival. Ranked as the 6th largest indoor rodeo show, San Angelo becomes alive this time of year. Rodeo is a holiday for the town of San Angelo.
 
Lake View Air Force Jr ROTC
For over a decade now, My husband and I have been volunteering our time working with the Rodeo Committee to make this event a great experience.

Though some may think it's a small part of the big picture, we are the first group of people that will greet you at the door as you walk in to watch the show.

In camo pants and their Corp T-shirts, LakeView AFJROTC cadets are there ready to greet, assist, and provide programs to whoever is interested.

I enjoyed the experience back when I was one of those cadets and now as an adult, we look forward to it each year.

Our younger ones are our future workers, innovators, and leaders. Let us encourage them as they grow and learn about the life we've already lived in. We are their idols, their guides, and they look up to us to show them the way into the real world.

So if you're going to any of the shows, stop by and say hello to the cadets before the show. Gigi and Jason will be there cheering them on.



Show you're support to these young students by buying one of the the Souvenir programs, it has many interesting stuff in there and the daily day sheet is included.

By
We moved to Austin, Texas! and have been searching for new places to find Authentic Filipino food near our house. So we found a couple places and went on a foodie adventure.

Well here is our first impression! 1. Entry: You are greeted with a welcoming smile by the staff. 2. Decor: It's simple but has a culturally sophisticated feel when you sit down. There are framed photos presenting the Philippine culture all over the wall. 3. Food: First dishes we tried were sisig, Lechon kawali, and dinuguan (pork blood pudding). All I can say is, Yummy in my tummy! I haven't had authentic tasting sisig in a long time! Portions are significant and...

Cooking Vietnamese Pho with Chef Quang Le

By
Cooking with Chef Quang Le Researching food and spices is a part of our family's daily routine since we ventured into the food industry. Learning about the different components of food makes us appreciate every dish, snack, and drink that we consume. We take every opportunity that we can to continue learning about the flavors of the world. This weekend, I organized a class with a local Vietnamese chef who loves to entertain and educate people through food. Chef Quang Le, co-owner of Clay Pot in Waco Texas, had agreed to teach a class on how to cook traditional Vietnamese Pho.  The class is sponsored by the Association of Asian-American Women in San Angelo, Texas. It was such a refreshing class complete with food history, health benefits, recipe book, and entertainment.  So What is Vietnamese Pho Soup? Vietnamese Pho Soup is considered the national dish of Vietnam. It can be seen as a mirror that reflects the heritage of the Vietnamese people and their w...

Szechuan House

By
11005 Burnet Road, Austin, TX.  After a three hour drive, we made it into Austin just as the sun began to set. It was dinner time and we wanted to eat somewhere new. Everything about our trip was to try new restaurants. Recently, we’ve been watching a lot of food channels on Youtube. Mainly Food Ranger and Migrationology . Watching Trevor James eat Chinese food in the streets of Chengdu had us craving Szechuan food. So when Szechuan House popped up on our search and it’s only 3 miles away, we were excited to try it out. When we got there, we were not disappointed. The place is simple with no fancy decor but that’s not what we’re there for. The menu is largely separated by category. You can also order online and get it to go or delivered. Check out their menu online . The food is served family communal style. Each dish is meant to share around the table and served alone along with a large plate of rice. Each person is to fill their plate or bowl with the dishes on the ...
