    If you are going D2 then the state championship has already been decided for that division in 2018 and 2019. And it's not Crosby.

    Well, you know, 92, nobody in Southeast Texas is worth being on the same field as the by God, almighty Crosby Cougars.  They their fo.....no......thr.......no.....two....no....one....no state championships.  That to go along with their fo...no....thr....no.....two....no...one state title game appearance.  I mean, this episode with the Jasper ISD super this spring must have Darrell Barbay off of his game for him to schedule a game that he knows he can't win.  Heck, I don't even know why Jeff Riordan even thought this game was worth his time!

    We've had two days in the weight room last Thursday and Friday and regular practices starting Monday. I'm sure the Broncos will be ready to play somebody Friday, now whether that somebody is Nederland or not is yet to be determined. I believe some schools are still having games that start back on the 11th. Let's hope we play, someone.

    NATIONAL CHOP SUEY DAY
    Get your chopsticks ready!  National Chop Suey Day is recognized each year on August 29. 
    Chop suey, which means “assorted pieces,” is a dish in American Chinese cuisine consisting of meat (chicken, fish, beef, prawns or pork) and eggs that are cooked quickly with vegetables (usually bean sprouts, cabbage and celery) and bound in a starch-thickened sauce. Rice typically accompanies this delicious dish.
    *************************
    “A prime example of culinary mythology” and typical with popular foods, there is a long list of colorful and conflicting stories of the origin of chop suey, according to food historian Alan Davidson.
    It is believed, by some, that chop suey was invented in America by Chinese Americans. However, anthropologist E.N. Anderson concludes that it is based on tsap seui (miscellaneous leftovers) which is common in Taishan, a district of Guangdong Province.  Taishan is the home of many early Chinese immigrants to the United States.
    Another account claims that chop suey was invented by Chinese American cooks that were working on the transcontinental railroad in the 19th century.
    A prime example of culinary mythology. ~ Alan Davidson on the origin of chop suey.
    A tale is told of chop suey’s creation stemming from the Qing Dynasty premier Li Hongzhang’s visit to the United States in 1896. According to the story, his chef wanted to create a meal that was suitable for both the Chinese and the American palates.  It has also been told that Li wandered to a local Chinese restaurant after the hotel kitchen closed, where the chef, embarrassed that he had nothing ready to offer, came up with the new “chop suey” dish using scraps of leftovers.
    Another myth tells of an 1860s Chinese restaurant cook in San Francisco that was forced to serve something to the drunken miners after hours. To avoid a beating, having nothing fresh to offer, he threw leftovers in a wok and provided a makeshift meal to the miners.  The miners loved the dish, asked him what it was called to which he replied, “Chopped Sui.”  
    *********************
    Traveling to the United States in 1903, Liang Oichao, a Guangdong native, wrote that there existed a food item called chop suey which was popularly served by Chinese restaurateurs, but which local Chinese people did not eat.

    NATIONAL CHERRY POPSICLE DAY
    Each summer on the 26th of August, Popsicle lovers across the United States enjoy National Cherry Popsicle Day.
    One evening in 1905, 11-year-old Frank Epperson mixed a batch of soda on his porch and left it with the stirring stick still in it for the night.  That evening in San Francisco, California the temperature dipped to record lows and the following morning, Frank discovered instead of soda pop, a frozen treat on a stick. Inspired, he created the fruit-flavored “Popsicle”.
    It wasn’t until years later, in 1922 during a fireman’s ball, that he introduced his frosty treat.  With the Popsicle’s huge success, Epperson proceeded to make and sell his frozen sweetness at an amusement park in Alameda, California.  By 1924, he applied for a patent where he called it the “Epsicle” ice pop.  He later renamed it “Popsicle”.
    One of summertime’s favorite treats, National Cherry Popsicle Day honors one of the top flavors!

    NATIONAL MARYLAND DAY
    On August 24, we usher in the 7th state to join the Union with National Maryland Day.  Maryland’s coastal location brings with it not only a deeply rooted naval heritage but an ocean battle defending the city of Baltimore and Ft. McHenry during the War of 1812 inspired Francis Scott Key to pen the words that later became our National Anthem.
    Just over 200 years before these traditions were established, Captian John Smith explored the Chesapeake Bay and the Nanticoke River.He kept a record of his travels, documenting the Native American people and their cultures, the abundant animal, and plant life. This vast watershed is the largest estuary in the United States.
    This vast watershed is the largest estuary in the United States. The Chesapeake Bay watershed is a complex ecosystem encompassing more than just the bay. From the farthest reaches of every tributary feeding the bay, the air, flora and fauna surrounding it and into the depths of the bay itself, the Chesapeake watershed is full of diverse and abundant life and is just one of Maryland’s gems.
    Spending a weekend or a vacation at Ocean City with friends or family is tradition or a highlight to a trip.  The boardwalk and beaches provide plenty of relaxation, adventure and fun in the sun.  The Eastern Shore offers scenic views, site seeing, peaceful accommodations, festivals and events for everyone.
    Head west to Antitiem and Maryland will take you into another era of history.  Here, the battlefields and Antietam National Cemetery hold a solemn reminder of the bloodiest singled day battle of the Civil War that occurred on September 17, 1862. Five days later, President Lincoln issued a Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. While Maryland was a southern state as defined by the Mason-Dixon line, it never seceded from the Union.  Many families fought on opposite sides throughout the war.  This may have been true for families in other states, but it was a reoccurring theme for Maryland families.
    Located close to Washington D.C. makes Maryland ideal for aerospace, defense and cybersecurity federal jobs. The state’s fishing industry thrives and is the largest producer of blue crabs in the state. The state is also home to McCormick & Company, Perdue Farms, Lockheed Martin, Black & Decker and Underarmor.

    There are excellent reasons, too!  Created as an elegant package, bao fits in the palm of the hand making it portable. Bao satisfies with all our favorite flavors.  From spicy to sweet, BBQ and Thai, this little sandwich covers breakfast, lunch, supper and dessert.  Still hungry?  They’re great snacks and perfect for sharing, too.
