A Room with a View

Today's showdown is a comparison of the views looking out my boys' bedroom windows.


At home in Malaysia


At home in Texas
Malaysia wins!

Sometimes, I feel like Cinderella at the ball. How did this happen? How did I end up living in this incredible place?

Malaysia has such a comparatively low cost of living that I understand why so many people retire here. Of course, you do have to go without good Texas Barbeque or authentic Tex-Mex food. (TacoDeli — I have been daydreaming about your Cochinita Pibil tacos for months ever since you denied me them at my last home visit.) One day, the clock will strike midnight, and my carriage will turn back into a pumpkin. At least my pumpkin will come with mesquite smoked brisket and tacos al carbon.

    1. I didn't think of doing that. Yes, I'll have to make a big poster and hang it up to remind us.

    1. I'm having trouble finding a good cut of brisket. I did however bring back Liquid Smoke and BBQ rub the last time I was in Texas.
