They'd all be Einsteins!

Football is huge in Oklahoma and most of those kids live up yearning to be a QB, Defensive Lineman, Linebacker, Wide Receiver, Offensive Lineman, or Tight End for the Sooners or OSU.

For someone to not be particularly fond of football is just fine. However, it is pretty much a tradition in Oklahoma. Basketball is becoming a big tradition as well.

Nothin like scrambled eggs and brains with sauteed wild onions for breakfast. Throw some biscuits and white gravy with it and you have a stick to your ribs meal.

And I don't know about you, but I think jellied tongue sandwiches with mayo and a touch of salsa on rye bread can't be beat for lunch...........unless you have some good souse instead of tongue.....nothin like good home made souse.........

SOUSE (head cheese):
Cook hogs head, ears, jowl, and pigs feet until all meat drops from the bone. Let cool. Clean all meat from bones. Add sage, finely diced pepper (habanero or scotch bonnet), some cayenne powder, and salt to taste. Cut or chop in very small pieces. Cool liquid until jellied. Skim off all grease. Add small amount of jellied liquid warmed to chopped meat, mix together. Place in stone jar or porcelain pan. (Never aluminum or metal.) Vinegar may be added for more of a souse taste. Press down with plate with weight on top to press out the grease. Chill until firm. Slice and eat with crackers.

GP, you are a great guy and all, but my taste in food and yours are quite different. And my parents that loved this kind of stuff!

Souse is good, ditto headcheese, and I like tongue any which way. But jellied moose nose, now that's good! Brains - no. You can keep them. I guess I watched my stepfather eating greasy scrambled eggs and brains one time too many. Blechh.

I have lived in Oklahoma my whole life, and now that I am relocating to Utah for work in September, I am starting to realize how much I am going to miss. Oklahoma is not perfect, but it has a charm all its own. People here are very friendly and helpful (especially compared to other parts of the country) and I am really going to miss thunderstorms that put me to sleep at night I'm even going to miss the tornados, although not so much the ice and wind....lol. Oklahoma is not LA or New York so if you want the big city, it's the wrong place to be, but if you want a nice place to put down roots with a great cost of living full of friendly people this is it. I've enjoyed living here and while I'm excited about moving, no place will ever be here

In TX, I can be openly gay and hold hands with a member of the same sex, atheist, have tattoos, all in public, and nobody cares. Is there anywhere like that in OK?

Uh where did you get the idea that Dallas and Houston are "liberal tolerant places" Dallas is especially known to be conservative. I think you are mistaking large and financially secure with liberal. I live in Phoenix which is not considered liberal but compared to Dallas and Houston, it's like living in San Francisco. You can't be openly gay in Texas or lest you get shot or dragged behind a car. Texas is still southern state that was a firm member of the confederacy. Dallas and Houston had cotton plantations with slaves. Also, Texas is a part of the Bible Belt. You are living in some fantasy

Dallas is a very liberal city in which the majority voted for Obama in the last election. Their city council is liberal as well. I am not singing the praises of Dallas being liberal, because I'm not a liberal myself, but facts are facts.

As for Phoenix being more liberal than Dallas, it isn't by a long stretch. Phoenix is far more conservative than Dallas, which isn't a bad thing IMO.

Oklahoma is part of the Bible Belt also..............so?

azriverfan is "taken" with Oklahoma as of late MK.

Dallas and Houston are liberal. Especially if you are from Oklahoma. Probably not so much if you are from San Fruitycisco.
