"Merry Christmas, Sam. Here are your presents. Hope you like them." It's a new boots, money, and gift cards.

He can’t help but let one of his ever so famous big dorky smiles spread across his face once he sees that she actually got him a gift. He gratefully takes them and then replies, “Wow Juli this is honestly… kinda unexpected. But thank ya I really do appreciate this sis!”

Quickly opens the presents and his smile widens. “Holy shit I’ve been needin’ new boots! And are these.. gifts cards to Whataburger?! Damn we may fight a lot but I guess ya really do know me huh? I’ve actually got somethin’ for you to just wait a sec-”

Sam then runs to his room and comes back holding a bag. Hands it to her and looks at her curiously. “Here ya go. Merry Christmas to ya too Juli.” Inside is a loose fit blouse and a leather handmade handbag.

Ask any displaced Texan what they miss from home and they’ll likely list a few items: brisket, football, higher speed limits, tacos and kolaches.

Now, if you’re lucky enough to have had a kolache, you know it’s a Texas staple, but if you haven’t had one, you’re probably still trying to figure out how to pronounce the word. It’s “ko-lah-chee.”

Kolaches are Czech pastries made of a yeast dough and usually filled with fruit, but sometimes cheese. The ultra traditional flavors — such as poppy seed, apricot, prune and a sweet-but-simple farmer’s cheese — can be traced back to the pastry’s Eastern European origin.

As Czech immigrants founded communities during the 1880s in rural Texas, later known as the Texas Czech Belt, the flavors and fillings evolved. Pineapple, blueberry, strawberry and cream cheese are just a sampling of flavors available today.
