He says, at 3:35, "The chuckwagon, the first meals on wheels ever invented."

Wrong. The Roman Legions had chuckwagons to feed their soldiers, as did many such conquering armys through out history.

Otherwise, pretty cool history movin beves in the old West. I'm reading lots of Louis L'Amour these days for rec reading and I love that historical period. Think the Sackets...

I happened into The Arc store about 20 years ago. Someone donated all these Louis L'Amour books...

Of course I bought one and read it in one day. I went back several times to buy all the rest that showed up.

Love Louis L'Amor books!

You would almost certainly like George MacDonald Fraser's series of comedic Flashman novels... especially one called "Flashman and the Redskins" <-- I've read it a dozen times, and laughed (and learned something new) every time.

Flashman is a big, handsome, fierce looking British Cavalry officer... decorated with the Victoria Cross and the Medal of Honor... and a total coward. The books are written by him -- 'fessing up how he ran and hid, tried to avoid trouble... and always wound up in the middle of it.

He caused the Charge of the Light Brigade by farting because he'd gotten into some bad champagne... "Flashman at the Charge".
 
Nobody ever mentions what was their favorite type of sushi?

30 Texan Ranch Foods Cowboys Still Swear By​

Premiered Dec 12, 2025 #cowboylife #dutchovencooking #southernfood
There’s a side of #cowboylife most people never see. This #cowboy #foodhistory deep dive takes you inside real #texasranch kitchens — where the same foods have been cooked the same way for over 150 years. These are 30 Texan ranch foods cowboys still swear by, not because they’re trendy… but because they work. When you wake up before the sun and don’t stop until the stars come out, food has to mean something.
From sourdough biscuits baked before dawn to beans simmering all day, cast-iron cornbread, cowboy coffee, brisket smoked low and slow, and pan de campo cooked in coals, these meals weren’t just eaten — they were relied on. They fueled cattle drives, held families together, and carried memory from one generation to the next.

I have tried sourdough for almost two decades. I twice bought and tried the "Oregon Trail" starter. I tried making my own starter from natural local bacterial and yeast collection. It never worked. Was my flour wrong? Every single time?

I have experience with yeast, with hundreds of bread and beer episodes, and they are completely different, of course. But I do understand zymurgy at a level.
 
This one is a sit and talk. Nothing to see, can listen in one tab, play around the forum in a different tab.

We Stopped Feeding Our Neighbors - Has Social Media Destroyed Our Community?​

May 3, 2026 Cowboy Coffee Hour
Somewhere between the rise of social media and modern life, we stopped feeding our neighbors. We stopped knowing the people who live right down the road. In this episode, we get honest about the slow death of community, how isolation has effected us, why do we feel lonely in America and why getting back to the table might be the most important thing we can do right now. Because a plate of biscuits has always done what no algorithm ever could! #cowboycoffeehour
