Wow! This year went by quickly! I enjoyed many great meals with my family and a few while dining out. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Special days and holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Meals often trigger great memories. It is wonderful to share dinner with friends and family. It was also great to try a few new dishes. This year it is back to highlighting photos of great home cooked meals. Often, I find the food cooked at home far superior to that which can be purchased out. Food is not only great to taste and enjoy, but a beautiful sight to see. Presentation and placement on the plate are important. So, what were my favorites this year? Dishes are listed left to right going downward. We have Baked Chicken Breast with Roasted Vegetables and Sauteed Green Beans, Red Snapper Filet with Argentinian Red Shrimp and Green Beans, Pasta Fusilloni (my dad’s secret recipe) and Broccoli, Asian Inspired Sesame Chicken with Vegetables, Gyros Tostadas (a new creation), Crawfish Etouffee and Chicken with Mustard Greens, Mexican Taco Bowl, Meatloaf with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes at Cleburne’s Cafeteria, Argentinian Red Shrimp Stir Fry with Noodles and Vegetables, Fried Catfish with Beets, Cabbage, and Fried Okra Luby’s Cafeteria, Stromboli Sandwich at Spanky’s Pizzeria, and the one and only #1 Hamburger in America the Bill’s Burger at Beck’s Prime. Thank you for supporting my blog with your readership and views. I’m going into my thirteenth year of blogging now. Working to fit it in between work, my drumming YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@AlbertMoyerJr. , and now my Keyboard YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@AlbertMoyerJrEDM May God continue to provide, and may we all learn to love, live, enjoy great meals together, and get along in the way God intended. Stay active and eat great! Bon Appetit!

2024! What can I say? This year I had some great meals dining out and some made by my family. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Special days and holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. The good times sometimes are created by taking food that would not otherwise be a selection and turning it into a masterpiece. Meals often trigger great memories for me. It is wonderful to share dinner with friends and family. It was also great to try a few new dishes. Super memories! This year I have chosen to highlight photos of restaurant dishes as well as some of the dishes that were cooked by family members. From top left going right and back and forth down the page we have Casa Rio San Antonio, Top Water Grill, Banh Mi Burger by my daughter, Fusion Taco, Niko Niko’s, Top Water Grill, Shri Balaji Bavan, Rigatoni with Sweet Italian Sausage by my daughter, Pho Ben Bellaire, Fadi’s Meyerland, Thanksgiving Gabby’s BBQ and Mom, and Asian Style Chicken with Stir Fried Vegetables my wife. Food is not only great to taste and enjoy, but a beautiful sight to see. Presentation and placement on the plate are important. Thank you for supporting my blog with your readership and views. I’m going into my twelfth year of blogging now. Working to fit it in between work and my drumming YouTube Channel, https://www.youtube.com/@AlbertMoyerJr. Wow, time flies! May God continue to provide. And may we all learn to love, live, enjoy great meals together, and get along in the way God intended. Bon Appetit!

The Crockett Hotel 2024

The Crockett Hotel is named after legendary Davy Crockett, soldier, politician, and frontiersman. Davy Crockett is a larger-than-life person and folk hero. He was a man’s man. Davy Crockett was a big hero in the Texas Revolution, and he ended up dying in the Battle of the Alamo. Legend has it that Davy was found in the barracks dead surrounded by sixteen Mexicans that he took out on his own. Davy was truly a warrior and fought for what he believed in without being polished or prideful like some of the other politicians that would damage his political career. There is so much to learn, see, and do around the Crockett Hotel as it sits right next door to The Alamo. It was built in 1909 which makes it over 115 years old. To book a stay in this historic hotel or to learn more visit their website https://www.crocketthotel.com/ Here are a few photos from my visit. Enjoy!

McNay Art Museum 2024

Recently, I stopped in for a visit at the McNay Art Museum. From the moment I drove up to the grounds I was in awe. There were sculptures, beautiful gardens, multiple paintings, and a mansion I was ready to walk into and see. Upon entering, I learned the mansion had two wings. A new wing and the original mansion section. In the new section, I viewed the de la Torre brothers exhibit. It was creativity on a higher order level. It had a deep meaning that some I’m sure will struggle with. In the original section, I found many historical art pieces and a beautiful mansion built like it is to last forever. It was exciting to see original Picasso and Monet pieces. This museum is a new favorite of mine and I’ll definitely be visiting again. If you want to learn more about it, visit the museum website here https://www.mcnayart.org/

Sheldon Reservoir 2024

To the east of Houston is a small freshwater reservoir that is stocked with mainly bass, crappie, and red-eared sunfish (aka-shellcracker) because they like cracking snail shells. The lake is also home to numerous mammals, birds, and reptiles. It’s a beautiful place especially for those looking for a no-wake lake (slower than 7 m.p.h.) for paddling kayaks and canoes. I have been fishing it for over 40 years and find the trips their quiet, peaceful, pleasant, and enjoyable. Here are a few photos that I shot last time out capturing the lakes beauty. For more information about the reservoir, you can visit here https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/sheldon-lake

Do you ever say, “What am I going to see today? Today was one of those days for me and I decided to head on over to Smither Park which is part of the Orange Show. You can read more about it here https://www.full.orangeshow.org/smither-park It was my first visit and to say I enjoyed the art is an understatement. I immediately started taking photos because I was amazed at all the mosaics which I know have a lot of time and effort invested into them. It was a beautiful day, and I captured some beautiful art. I hope you enjoy the photos and visit yourself.

Photographic Textures in the Wild

On a recent seven-mile hike, I decided to capture textures while shooting photos. All around me I was amazed at the different textures. There is so much to see when one truly opens their eyes. For me when I look around the world, I see God’s hand. The complexity of every single organism. The design and innerworkings of every creature benefiting from each other. Often, I think of this verse, Romans 1:20,” For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So, they are without excuse.” I hope you enjoy these photographs as much as I enjoyed shooting them. 2024 Albert Moyer, Jr., Photography

The Year In Food 2023

2023 was an awesome food year! Again, I focused my culinary energy on the good times. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Special days and holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving. For me a meal means so much more than filling my stomach. Often there are good times involved and the meal is a marker of those good times. I can often look at the meal photo and remember what happened while I was enjoying it. It was great to share so many great meals with so many great people in 2023. It was also great to try a few new dishes. Super memories! This year, like last year, I have chosen to squeeze in some photos of my own dishes as well as some of the dishes I enjoyed that were cooked by family members. Food is not only great to taste and enjoy, but a beautiful sight to see. Thank you for supporting my blog with your readership. I’m going into my eleventh year of blogging now. That’s in between work and my drumming YouTube Channel. Wow, time flies! May God continue to provide.

2022 continued where 2020 and 2021 left off. It was another awkward year with many events affecting supply chains, gatherings, etc. Again, I focused my culinary energy on the good times. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Special days and holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving. For me a meal means so much more than filling my stomach. Often there are good times involved and the meal is a marker of those good times. I can often look at the meal photo and remember what happened while I was enjoying it. It was great to share so many great meals with so many great people in 2022. It was also great to try a few new dishes. Super memories! This year, like last year, I have chosen to squeeze in some photos of my own dishes as well as some of the dishes I enjoyed while eating out. Food is not only great to taste and enjoy, but a beautiful sight to see. Thank you for supporting my blog with your readership. It’s been ten years of writing about many things now. Wow, time flies!
