funny, but for so many years we always ate the smooth canned version that i never knew anything else. i still admit to liking it and Mom prefers it over any of the homemade kinds. she stocked up for this coming event and she's got the roast on for today so it might even end up being partially...

i don't know what i'm talking about but congrats for the Texans. :)
