plus years in technology. From companies like Cisco Systems, Cogent,
and multiple venture, angel, and self funded startups. The IT field
began unbeknown to me during my time in the United States Navy as a
communication specialists (fancy way to say radioman). I enjoyed
working in IT, but there was always a piece missing and in the back of
my mind I was searching.
I dreamed of a ranch or nice quiet place to be closer both to nature and
to God. Other than using divine intervention as an explanation, I don't
really have a great way to explain how it came to be that I now have an
orchard in Texas. I'm proud of my cooking skills and I pride myself on
my ever expanding knowledge of the culinary arts, but I don't kid myself
for I'm no Guy Fieri (Yes I'm a fan). Growing up with cooking ability
that only involved a microwave I have taken countless cooking classes,
even seriously considered schooling at the C.I.A. (Culinary Institute of
America) no idea if they would have accepted me and most of all I
learned tips from countless unnamed home chefs who are the masters in
their kitchen. I'm no professional, but I do know great ingredients when
I come across them. Many years ago the Texan in me tried Texas olive
oil from the Texas Olive Ranch and candidly I didn't have high
expectations. Needless to say that 1 bottle from the Texas Olive Ranch
set me on a path that today lands me on this page. I won't bore you
with all the details, but Texas olive oil is second to none. While I
implore you to try my Texas Angel Oil extra virgin olive oil and why my
blend is the best, I would be disingenuous if I told you anything other
than almost any Texas olive oil is simply outstanding. Try mine or any
other and you will not be disappointed. Which explains why people from
the likes of Italy, Spain, Greece, and Turkey are flocking to Texas to
buy land to begin building olive orchards. That's another post for a
future day.
Until then you can find Texas Angel Oil on Amazon and hopefully the
www.texasangeloil.com website will be up very soon. I'll just keep
cooking with my children trying out different recipes to share with you
in the future. The picture is a turmeric/olive oil chicken, long grain
rice, and fresh grown asparagus my children cooked. Yes, my children's
skills in the kitchen surpassed the microwave cooking ability of my
youth. They do need to work on their blogging skills as you see from my
daughter's whimsical posts. God bless!
