For Doughnuts, there is a place in Austin that serves doughnuts the size of seat cushins--I kid you not. They have been on at least two Food Channel shows, one being: Man vs Food.
 
When I was a kid in San Antonio, my Mom would often bring me a doughnut from a bakery at the North Star Mall. It was the size of a dinner plate & delicious! I miss Texas & still plan to move back. I'm waiting for my lease to expire then I'm gone!

When that happens? three of the first places you will have to eat at are: and in this order too) 1) The Little Red Barn, 2) CHUY'S Mexican Restaurant and 3) if still open? Maggies.
 
As I remember Texas....God, Guns, and high cheak bone women....Only fault I ever found in Texas with the exception of Austin, is the worst ice and snow drivers in the world...Well you can't be perfect..Sorry skip Midland, Odessa on the ice and snow they sadly are learning..There is a great fishing lake on the border, that the government has put off limits to US citizens.....Can't blame the Texans they would have corrected that if the Government would just admit they can't handle it and let the Texans do their job for them...JMO
 
In the 70's the folks a I would winter in Brownsville or S. Padre Is. The oldest lives in Beeville with his wife and the 2 oldest grandkids ( The son speaks English (1st language) German, and a little Spanish, His older sister speaks German (1st Language) English, Spanish and is working on Cantonese just for fun. My son used to speak Spanish like a Colombian but when he learned to talk to his wife he says the Spanish all leaked out. They are all blonde and blue and too tall for south of the boarder, but can fake being Texans. I miss them a little more than I miss Texas, but almost the same! Ivan
 
Two bumper stickers come to mind-

I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could.

And my favorite-

Foat Wuth, Ah Luv Yew.
(You'll understand if you are really a Texan.

I'll be in Fort Worth the end of the month. The best thing about November is my annual trip to Texas followed by Thanksgiving in AL with my son and his family.

I have to admit you are right about us being bad ice and snow drivers, especially in the southern parts of Texas, or in Houston, where we have to get a reference book out to figure out what that white stuff falling from the sky is. Down here we just don’t see much of it. Give us a good two inch snow and the schools close down!
 
My sister in law and her late husband moved from MA to TX in the early 1980s. They were amazed how 1" of snow could paralyze all of Austin. At the time, I think there were two snow plows in the entire city. I'm not sure what they were there for since apparently no on knew how to use them.

That's one of the reasons central TX is on our potential move to list. I want to live in a place where if you go into Home Depot or Lowes, they don't even know what a snow blower is.

Austin aint like what it was 20 years ago--its so much worse. Also, not to make it political-the place is overrun with liberals and college students taught to hate the USA. Thats just part of it and part of why I moved the heck out of there.
 
One fo the things I do miss about living in Austin--is having a CHUY'S Mexican Restaurant 10 minutes walk from my house-or three by car. I used to love to walk there and I ate there 5-6 days a week.
 
Texas is really the southern part of Oklahoma. Just joking. I have been all over Texas and it is a fine state and the people are great. The worst thing about it is the traffic around Houston. You can go from the swamps to the desert in one state.
