I took this photo at the Houston Arboretum. You know a lot of times people worry about how they will be sustained. Look at all this food for the birds in this beautiful photo.

Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

I took this photo in Studewood Park in Houston. The metal art piece has even been used in the former Geffen Recording Artist band Galactic Cowboys video. I will include the video for those who want to see it.

This photo was taken by me at the Houston Arboretum.  Many people confuse these for water moccasins or cottonmouths. This snake is harmless.

One of the greatest cities in America for traffic, fat people, pollution, and fake people. Laughs! This is my home town Houston, Texas.

Here is another, no longer, unidentified flower. Per Ray Russel it is an Angel’s Trumpet. I saw this at a festival and said,”I have never seen it. I need a photo.” It’s pretty whatever it is. Post an identity comment if you know what it is. Thanks for posting the comment Ray.

Living in Houston one can come into contact with many different nationalities, Columbian being one of them. The Columbian people area proud people and rightfully so. They have some of the best food in the World. Today, I decided to cook the Columbian Stew known as Sancocho. You can make it with different meats, so I chose pork. This stew has the following vegetables,roots, and spices:

Yucca Root, Guineo-Banana, Potato, Auyuma-Pumpkin squash, tomato, onions, garlic, paprika, cilantro(coriander), and salt.

I love the exotic non-native mixture. These roots and vegetables are something that you will not find in many parts of the United States.

I varied the recipe a bit, but the basic recipe I used is located here:

Give Sancocho a try and I gurantee you will be glad you did.
