After thirteen years, there’s finally a Texas–Texas A&M game. And instead of having to settle for just a couple of games here and there in September—as would have been likely if the Horns and Aggies had ever gotten around to playing as nonconference rivals—the Lone Star Showdown (does anybody actually call it that?) has come back as an SEC game, and on Thanksgiving weekend (if not the day itself) to boot. Not only that, but this year’s matchup is arguably bigger than any Texas–Texas…The post <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/texas-texas-am-rivalry-game-preview/">The Stakes in the Texas–Texas A&M Rivalry Have Never Been Higher</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com">Texas Monthly</a>. ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/texas-texas-am-rivalry-game-preview/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The Texanist: Why Are the Dallas Cowboys America’s Team?</title> <link>https://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/dallas-cowboys-americas-team-motto-history-texanist/</link> <comments>https://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/dallas-cowboys-americas-team-motto-history-texanist/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[David Courtney]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 27 Nov 2024 17:31:21 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[The Texanist]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sports]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Football]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dallas Cowboys]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.texasmonthly.com/?p=922739</guid> <description><![CDATA[And do they still deserve the title?]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="1024" height="640" src="https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/texanist-dallas-cowboys-americas-team.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=640&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1024&wpsize=large" class="attachment-large size-large wp-post-image" alt="dallas cowboys america's team" decoding="async" srcset="https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/texanist-dallas-cowboys-americas-team.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=188&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=300&wpsize=medium 300w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/texanist-dallas-cowboys-americas-team.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=640&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1024&wpsize=large 1024w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/texanist-dallas-cowboys-americas-team.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=480&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=768&wpsize=medium_large 768w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/texanist-dallas-cowboys-americas-team.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=961&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1536&wpsize=1536x1536 1536w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/texanist-dallas-cowboys-americas-team.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=1281&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=2048&wpsize=2048x2048 2048w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/texanist-dallas-cowboys-americas-team.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=31&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=50&wpsize=concierge-thumb 50w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/texanist-dallas-cowboys-americas-team.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=fit&fm=pjpg&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45 2400w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Q: How did the Dallas Cowboys become known as America’s Team? And is that a title that they can still rightfully claim, all things considered?A: The date was Sunday, September 2, 1979. The place was Civic Center Busch Memorial Stadium in downtown St. Louis. The temperature was 76 degrees Fahrenheit, the relative humidity along the west bank of the mighty Mississippi River was a dampish 73 percent, and the wind, barely blowing, was light at 7 miles per hour. The playing surface was Astroturf, and the game’s kickoff was set for 2 p.m. Central Daylight Time. The afternoon matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Dallas Cowboys would be broadcast on CBS.But first, before the action was to begin, there would be a televised…The post <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/dallas-cowboys-americas-team-motto-history-texanist/">The Texanist: Why Are the Dallas Cowboys America’s Team?</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com">Texas Monthly</a>. ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/dallas-cowboys-americas-team-motto-history-texanist/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Why Uvalde—A Rallying Cry for Texas Democrats—Went for Trump</title> <link>https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/uvalde-trump-red-wave/</link> <comments>https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/uvalde-trump-red-wave/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Allegra Hobbs]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 27 Nov 2024 16:28:18 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Politics & Policy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Uvalde Shooting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Gun Control]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Elections 2024]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.texasmonthly.com/?p=922759</guid> <description><![CDATA[The South Texas county, which has long leaned Republican, saw the third-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history in 2022.

In the town square, 21 crosses wreathed in flowers, photos, and remembrances encircle a fountain—one for every life lost in the massacre at Robb Elementary School on May 24, 2022. Across the city, the victims’ faces, painted several stories tall on the side of buildings, smile down on citizens like guardian angels. Flags bearing the slogan “Uvalde Strong” stand in many yards. In the weeks following the election, they far outnumbered political signs. But Uvalde, like all of us, is more complicated than the worst thing that has happened to it. Before the shooting, Uvalde County—of which the city, population 15,436, is the seat—was mostly rural, blue-collar, and…The post <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/uvalde-trump-red-wave/">Why Uvalde—A Rallying Cry for Texas Democrats—Went for Trump</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com">Texas Monthly</a>. ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/uvalde-trump-red-wave/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The Postpartum Chili That Made Me Feel Mothered</title> <link>https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/postpartum-chili/</link> <comments>https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/postpartum-chili/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Megan Frances Lloyd]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 27 Nov 2024 15:00:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Recipes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Personal Essay]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Food]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spain]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Motherhood]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Chili]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.texasmonthly.com/?p=920565</guid> <description><![CDATA[As I was about to give birth in Spain, my mother came from Houston with her George Bush Chili at the perfect time.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="1024" height="640" src="https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/postpartum-chili.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=640&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1024&wpsize=large" class="attachment-large size-large wp-post-image" alt="Postpartum Chili" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/postpartum-chili.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=188&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=300&wpsize=medium 300w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/postpartum-chili.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=640&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1024&wpsize=large 1024w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/postpartum-chili.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=480&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=768&wpsize=medium_large 768w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/postpartum-chili.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=960&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1536&wpsize=1536x1536 1536w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/postpartum-chili.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=1280&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=2048&wpsize=2048x2048 2048w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/postpartum-chili.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=31&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=50&wpsize=concierge-thumb 50w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/postpartum-chili.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=fit&fm=pjpg&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45 2400w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />The recipe exchanges between my mother and me began months before my son’s due date in April of this year. We sent texts and emails back and forth from her home in Houston to mine in Seville, Spain, with hungry anticipation of her trip to meet this new creature growing inside of me. From Indian dals and honey lactation cookies to anti-inflammatory, turmeric-laced everything, we were readying ourselves for this next phase of life: mine as a mother and hers as a grandmother. I nested in my own way, stocking the pantry with bags of brewer’s yeast, flax seed, and whatever else the internet told me to eat postpartum. I made odd Spanish American broths with chicken thighs and salted Ibérico pork bones, my belly…The post <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/postpartum-chili/">The Postpartum Chili That Made Me Feel Mothered</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com">Texas Monthly</a>. ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/postpartum-chili/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The Texas–Texas A&M Games That Got Away</title> <link>https://www.texasmonthly.com/article/texas-texas-am-rivalry-what-ifs/</link> <comments>https://www.texasmonthly.com/article/texas-texas-am-rivalry-what-ifs/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan Solomon]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 27 Nov 2024 15:00:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Sports]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UT A&M Rivalry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[University of Texas Longhorns]]></category> <category><![CDATA[College Football]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Aggies]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.texasmonthly.com/?p=920692</guid> <description><![CDATA[What if the Longhorns and Aggies hadn't paused their football rivalry for thirteen years?

But we’d like to presuppose this: What if it didn’t? Peering through the multiverse like Marvel’s Doctor Strange, we’ve found a timeline in which, while the Aggies still joined the SEC in 2012, a state law in the 2011 legislative session mandated that Texas and Texas A&M keep their football rivalry alive by playing a head-to-head grudge match every season, no matter how impractical their annual meetings become.

The route consisted of two passes down a single block because that is the entirety of downtown Martindale—but what a block. On both sides of Main Street, a half dozen restored redbrick buildings made for a picture-perfect time warp to late-nineteenth-century Texas, and people came in from all around Caldwell County to watch “the cutest thing ever,” as Katie puts it.  Four years later, Ryan and Katie are the heavily tattooed owners of Duett’s, a Martindale bar, restaurant, and music venue named after their young daughter, Duetta. The Grametbaurs had both grown up…The post <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/style/martindale/">How a Tiny Group of Believers Turned a Dying Cotton Town Into a Storybook Refuge</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com">Texas Monthly</a>. ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.texasmonthly.com/style/martindale/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Which Texans Should We Wish Upon the Trump Administration?</title> <link>https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texans-trump-administration/</link> <comments>https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texans-trump-administration/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Christopher Hooks]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 26 Nov 2024 21:12:41 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Politics & Policy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Texas GOP]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.texasmonthly.com/?p=919915</guid> <description><![CDATA[Is it better to keep our favorite bum steers here or set them on the nation, enjoy the show, and get some local relief?]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="1024" height="640" src="https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/take-them-or-keep-them-texas-politicans.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=640&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1024&wpsize=large" class="attachment-large size-large wp-post-image" alt="Texas Politicians: Take Them or Keep Them" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/take-them-or-keep-them-texas-politicans.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=188&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=300&wpsize=medium 300w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/take-them-or-keep-them-texas-politicans.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=640&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1024&wpsize=large 1024w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/take-them-or-keep-them-texas-politicans.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=480&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=768&wpsize=medium_large 768w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/take-them-or-keep-them-texas-politicans.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=960&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1536&wpsize=1536x1536 1536w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/take-them-or-keep-them-texas-politicans.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=1280&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=2048&wpsize=2048x2048 2048w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/take-them-or-keep-them-texas-politicans.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=31&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=50&wpsize=concierge-thumb 50w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/take-them-or-keep-them-texas-politicans.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=fit&fm=pjpg&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45 2400w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />If you hold a local political position, such as school board president, you can have an enormous and direct influence over the lives of many of your neighbors. Paradoxically, if you are at the very top of government, you can struggle to make any difference at all. I remember, in a more innocent age, feeling real trepidation about the prospect of James Richard Perry, of Paint Creek, serving as secretary of energy, which mostly, despite its name, oversees nuclear security and high-level physics research. I felt a certain appreciation for the former governor and his great political skill, but the thought of him taking responsibility for the slowly deteriorating plutonium waste pits at the Hanford Site gave me pause. Years later, though, I talked with some…The post <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texans-trump-administration/">Which Texans Should We Wish Upon the Trump Administration?</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com">Texas Monthly</a>. ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texans-trump-administration/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The Top 25 Texas Gifts of 2024</title> <link>https://www.texasmonthly.com/style/texas-gift-guide-2024/</link> <comments>https://www.texasmonthly.com/style/texas-gift-guide-2024/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Kathy Blackwell]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 26 Nov 2024 17:08:06 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Style & Design]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Shopping]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Made in Texas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Holiday Gift Guide]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Holiday]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.texasmonthly.com/?p=922343</guid> <description><![CDATA[American Dirt coffee, Waco Surf lessons, and other holiday offerings from our state’s artisans, designers, and small retailers.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="1024" height="640" src="https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/TM_giftguide_final_1.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=640&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1024&wpsize=large" class="attachment-large size-large wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/TM_giftguide_final_1.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=188&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=300&wpsize=medium 300w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/TM_giftguide_final_1.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=640&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1024&wpsize=large 1024w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/TM_giftguide_final_1.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=480&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=768&wpsize=medium_large 768w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/TM_giftguide_final_1.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=960&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1536&wpsize=1536x1536 1536w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/TM_giftguide_final_1.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=1280&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=2048&wpsize=2048x2048 2048w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/TM_giftguide_final_1.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=31&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=50&wpsize=concierge-thumb 50w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/TM_giftguide_final_1.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=fit&fm=pjpg&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45 2400w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Covering the most creative Texans, which we do all year long, is always a joy.

The one-room home had no air-conditioning, running water, indoor plumbing, or roof.Pérez’s father supported his wife and children by working as a mechanic at the garage he owned. Unlike his male cousins, who were told to go outside and play, Pérez stayed in to assist the family matriarchs in the kitchen, grabbing ingredients for dishes. “I knew it meant snacks,” Pérez says. “I got the first tortillas, the first slice of carne asada off the grill.” He also rode his tricycle to pick up limes. He didn’t know it at the time, but such occasions made him the taquero he is today.Pérez, who now owns Paprika ATX,…The post <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/paprika-atx/">This Taco Truck Was Supposed to Be on the 50 Best Tacos in Texas List.

Bring on the pageants, cook-offs, and parades! This Thanksgiving, thousands of Texans will lace up their sneakers to run a few miles in turkey trots across the state. But in the small South Texas town of Cuero, ninety miles southeast of San Antonio, devoted revelers converge a month earlier for a literal turkey trot. Most of the events at Turkeyfest, the community’s fall extravaganza, are typical small-town Texas festival fare: a parade, a barbecue cook-off, concerts, and a jalapeño-eating competition. But the main attraction is the Great Gobbler Gallop, a live turkey race that celebrates more than a century of Cuero’s rich turkey history. Turkeyfest is the latest iteration of a long line of…The post <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/cuero-turkey-trot-history/">Gobble, Gobble, Go!

On the late-June day that former Texas A&M baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle left for the same job at a certain school in Austin, University of Texas women’s basketball coach Vic Schaefer got a text from an old friend in College Station: “Today is almost as bad as the day you took the job at Texas.”Schaefer is an actual Aggie (class of 1984) who also spent nine years as an assistant coach to Gary Blair, including during the 2011 national championship season.

What was the greatest moment in the 130-year history of the Texas–Texas A&M football rivalry? Was it Justin Tucker’s game-winning field goal in 2011? Was it the Aggies’ emotional win in 1999, just weeks after the Texas A&M bonfire tragedy? Or was it something off the field, a Thanksgiving Day memory that has more to do with family tradition and football on TV than winners and losers on the gridiron? Nearly every Texan has an answer.

For all her talent, though, she’s had to fight to get her music published. She’s faced sexism from the very start of her career and has always refused to play the way anybody else wants her to.She loves blues and jazz and salsa, and it comes through in her music. Her live performances are thrilling, dynamic experiences, and she was even kind enough to get her accordion and play for us in the studio. “We are…The post <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/podcast/viva-tejano-episode-3-eva-ybarra/">TM Audio Exclusive: Eva Ybarra Has an Accordion Lesson for You—If You Can Keep Up</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com">Texas Monthly</a>. ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.texasmonthly.com/podcast/viva-tejano-episode-3-eva-ybarra/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Glen Powell Look-Alikes Share Life Advice In and Out of Character</title> <link>https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/glen-powell-lookalike-contest/</link> <comments>https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/glen-powell-lookalike-contest/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Lauren Castro and Taylor Prewitt]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 25 Nov 2024 20:06:39 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Film & TV]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Movies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hollywood]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Celebrities]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.texasmonthly.com/?p=922226</guid> <description><![CDATA[The latest celebrity doppelgänger competition, held over the weekend in Austin, was judged by the actor’s mom.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="1024" height="640" src="https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/glen-powell-lookalikes.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=640&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1024&wpsize=large" class="attachment-large size-large wp-post-image" alt="Glen Powell lookalike contest" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/glen-powell-lookalikes.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=188&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=300&wpsize=medium 300w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/glen-powell-lookalikes.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=640&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1024&wpsize=large 1024w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/glen-powell-lookalikes.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=480&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=768&wpsize=medium_large 768w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/glen-powell-lookalikes.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=960&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=1536&wpsize=1536x1536 1536w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/glen-powell-lookalikes.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=1280&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=2048&wpsize=2048x2048 2048w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/glen-powell-lookalikes.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=31&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45&w=50&wpsize=concierge-thumb 50w, https://img.texasmonthly.com/2024/11/glen-powell-lookalikes.jpg?auto=compress&crop=faces&fit=fit&fm=pjpg&ixlib=php-3.3.1&q=45 2400w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Glen Powell was the subject of a look-alike contest in Austin over the weekend—the latest in a string of social media–driven meetups in public spaces, where civilians channel celebrities in hopes of winning modest prizes and, perhaps, fleeting internet fame.

Bring on the pageants, cook-offs, and parades! As I walked onto the grounds of the sixty-third annual Scottish Gathering and Highland Games in Salado, I was greeted by acres of tartan and a lot of bagpipes. And I mean a lot of bagpipes.The Scottish Gathering takes place on the second Saturday and Sunday of November and spreads across most of a Salado elementary school. About a dozen bagpipers paced around the playground, practicing and waiting for their turn in front of a judge. At first, the noise was brain-rattling, but I soon found myself charmed by the different songs that formed a plaintive yet somehow upbeat soundtrack to the day. Each corner of the…The post <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/highland-games-salado-scottish-festival/">Searching for My Inner Scot at Salado’s Highland Games</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com">Texas Monthly</a>. ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/highland-games-salado-scottish-festival/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Texas Republicans Who Back Trump Won’t Comment on the Huge Economic Disruption Mass Deportations Would Cause </title> <link>https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-mass-deportations-how/</link> <comments>https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-mass-deportations-how/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael Hardy]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 25 Nov 2024 16:48:06 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Politics & Policy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Immigration]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Border]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.texasmonthly.com/?p=922123</guid> <description><![CDATA[Texas Monthly reached out to more than a hundred GOP officeholders to see how, exactly, Trump’s proposal should be carried out in our state.

Texas, with its 1,254-mile southern border and pro-Trump leaders, will play a central role in any such deportations. Stephen Miller, the chief architect of Trump’s immigration policies, has vowed that the administration will build “vast holding facilities that would function as staging centers,” likely on “open land in Texas near the border.” State land commissioner Dawn Buckingham recently offered the administration 1,400 acres in Starr County about 35 miles west of McAllen to build “deportation facilities.” In their eagerness to help Trump conduct sweeping roundups of undocumented Texas workers and their families, state leaders…The post <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-mass-deportations-how/">Texas Republicans Who Back Trump Won’t Comment on the Huge Economic Disruption Mass Deportations Would Cause </a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com">Texas Monthly</a>. ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-mass-deportations-how/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The Oldest Rivalry in Texas Football Is New Again</title> <link>https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/the-oldest-rivalry-in-texas-football-is-new-again/</link> <comments>https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/the-oldest-rivalry-in-texas-football-is-new-again/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Texas Monthly]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 25 Nov 2024 15:35:18 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Sports]]></category> <category><![CDATA[University of Texas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Texas Longhorns]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Texas A&M]]></category> <category><![CDATA[College Football]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Aggies]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.texasmonthly.com/?p=922093</guid> <description><![CDATA[The Texas–Texas A&M football game is back this week, after a thirteen-year hiatus.

Start with more than 100,000 Texas A&M and Texas spectators, dozens of shuttle buses, and a literal ton of beef parading around the field in the form of Bevo (to say nothing of the many more tons of beef that will land on the grills of tailgating fans that day). And that’s just the beginning.

A pasta with tomato sauce or a leafy salad is not dinner, especially if you’re feeding a family. We need complete proteins, carbs, and vegetables in an easy, quick, and cheap package—bonus points if it doesn’t create a lot of dishes to wash. A tall order, for sure, but one that most Texans need to fill nearly every night.So when I set out to write a recipe for black bean soup, I knew I wanted the dish to be a full meal, not just a zhuzhed-up can of beans.

Howdy Landmanimals—that is, Landman diehards. We’ve made it to episode three, a decidedly less heavy outing after last week’s emotional pile-on. Though lighter, the screws continue to turn on Tommy and the gang this go-around as they settle into the delightful equation of high drama plus high camp, all multiplied by the power of oil. (Our regular reminder: The show is based on the Texas Monthly and Imperative Entertainment podcast Boomtown, and TM is an executive producer.)We begin as Ali Larter’s Angela arrives at the Midland airport, legs first. She’s wearing sky-high heels and a diaphanous purple gown that looks like it could be sneezed off.

He had his first taste of the business in 2013 while working in the pit room at Oak Leaf Smokehouse, in Houston. The joint closed two years later, and Glenn moved to a job at a meal-prep company and then at a gelato shop. At Oak Leaf, he had worked with David Welch, who now owns Fire Craft BBQ, in Kingwood, a neighborhood in northeast Houston. The two got back together to cook for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in 2022, and the fire for barbecue was rekindled in Glenn.Welch offered him a job, but Glenn wasn’t ready to give up on gelato just yet.
