How to Be a Texan: The Manual - Hardcover By and similar items

There are certain things every Texan should know how to do and say, whether your Lone Star roots reach all the way back to the 1836 Republic or you were just transplanted here yesterday. Some of these may be second nature to you, but others . . . well, maybe it wouldn?t hurt to have a few handy hints if, say, branding the herd or hosting a tamalada aren?t your usual pastimes. That?s where How to Be a Texan can help. In a friendly, lighthearted style, Andrea Valdez offers illustrated, easy-to-follow steps for dozens of authentic Texas activities and sayings. In no time, you?ll be talking like a Texan and dressing the part; hunting, fishing, and ranching; cooking your favorite Texas dishes; and dancing cumbia and two-step. You?ll learn how to take a proper bluebonnet photo and build a Día de los Muertos altar, and you?ll have a bucket list of all the places Texans should visit in their lifetime. Not only will you know how to do all these things, you?ll finish the book with a whole new appreciation for what it means to be a Texan and even more pride in saying ?I?m from Texas? anywhere you wander in the world.
