If you've dreamed of floating all night long on a lake like Sam Rayburn, this tent can help you do just that. You'll be camping and floating. Fun, right? Maybe we could even coin a new catchphrase and call it Flamping. What could possibly go wrong?

Matthew McConaughey showing up on your doorstep with a frozen turkey is something that doesn't happen every day. Texas loves Matthew McConaughey, and we might have a lil competition now from Kentucky over who loves him more after this gem.

When you think brunch, what's the first food that pops into your mind? Omelets, pancakes, and bacon are on every brunch buffet it seems, but there's something new that Texans are doing with avocados now that's getting a lot of attention. And it's avocado sacrilege to some!

Some say pie-making is a lost art since not many of us take the time to do it from scratch these days. So, when we find pies that are ooey, gooey, flaky, and perfect, we must give the bakers some love. These are the best pies in Texas y'all. See if you agree.

As a man involved in an accident left the scene he ended up smashing into two other parked vehicles, and he admitted to police that he got high on PCP before getting behind the wheel. It had to have happened in another state, right? Nope, right here in East Texas.

Texans can be big eaters, and sometimes that saves us money. How about a little weekend challenge? If you can polish off a monster burger at one restaurant in Nacogdoches, the meal is free. And it's just one of the Texas restaurants on a long list that will give you the opportunity to eat your way to victory.

There are many Dairy Queen locations that will close soon because of financial troubles, but there is a bright side. The locations that survive will be dishing up a brand new Oreo Hot Cocoa Blizzard, along with that beloved Candy Cane Chill Blizzard this winter. You'll just have to know where to go to find 'em.

A lot of Texas restaurants have secret menus, but this hidden Whataburger menu has some interesting twists. It will flip the ever-popular chicken and waffle idea on its head, and it will give you a veggie burger like you've never seen before. Prepare yourself.

Texans don't quit going to the beach just because it gets a little chilly. And since we're this far south, we've got some great beaches with year-round activities that are just a short drive away. The winter road trip will be on, and now is the time to plan it.

At Halloween, the key for kids' movies might be that they're not too spooky. Just enough cute fright is festive, and it won't keep the kids up in the wee hours with nightmares. Did Texas kids follow the trend? They might have gone a little creepy with their choice for the best spooky movie.

Kids can start planning their strategies now, and make a scary face pancake at IHOP Tuesday, using fruit, candy, and cookies. This will be fun. And FREE. Let the sugar loading begin!

We love a holiday based on food. Texas is celebrating the greatness of chicken fried steak today (Thursday, October 26th), and that makes us wonder where you're gettin' yours. Some of these places serve up chicken fried steaks that are bigger than our heads!
