Is there another state that is so into its own shape? I know Michigan has that mitten gag, but it's mostly a reference thing, like calling it "The Mitten," or pointing out where you're from on your own hand. (I'm from the squishy part under your thumb, right over that bumpy wrist bone.) Texas just seems to like shaping things like Texas. I think it's hilarious--especially the food. Here are two additions to my collection of Texas-shaped food.I found these Texas-shaped crackers at the grocery store. They're actually a store brand, and there's nothing on the box except a picture of the crackers and some nutritional info. They're actually pretty good; they just might become a regular snack item around here.
And then...well, this one is my own fault. I told John IN JEST that I wanted a Texas-shaped cake pan for Christmas. He made an effort to find one, and came up with this cookie cutter instead. I think it's great. He also gave me a KitchenAid stand mixer. THE stand mixer. The red one. You know what I'm talking about. This mixer will destroy my ass, and I am fully comfortable with that, mostly.
