I mentioned it briefly, but I'm too lazy to find the message now!

She only had one interview this morning. The afternoon interview was rescheduled to Monday morning, because of weather concerns. Anyway, she thinks the one interview she had went well enough, no major problems.

The line is from a song called "Texas Cooking", by Guy Clark. I've tried to find the lyrics online, but so far have not been able to find them.

Rose found the lyrics!

Texas Cookin'
Guy Clark

I'm going down to Austin, Texas
I'm going down to save my soul
Get that bar-b-que and chili
Eat my fill then come back home
I'm gonna take my baby with me
We gonna have a high ol' time
We gonna eat till we get silly
Sho' do make a beer taste fine

Chorus
Oh my, momma ain't that Texas Cookin' something
Oh my, momma it'll stop yo' belly and backbone bumpin'
Oh my, momma ain't that Texas Cookin' good
Oh my, momma eat it everyday if I could

I know a man that cook armadillo
tastes so sweet he calls it pie
I know a woman makes pan dulce
tastes so good it gets you high
Get them enchiladas greasy
get them steaks chicken fried
Sho' do make a man feel happy
to see white gravy on the side

Repeat Chorus

I know a place that got fried okra
beat anything I ever saw
I know a man that cook cabrito
it must be against the law
We gonna get a big ol' sausage
a big ol' plate of ranch style beans
I could eat the heart of Texas
we gonna need some brand new jeans!

Repeat Chorus

I like that line! And the inspiration for it better!

Ya know, I haven't made chicken fried steak OR enchiladas since Myranda's been gone. Too much hassle for just me. Ya'll need to come visit and give me an excuse to cook!
