"During the lockdown I started making monthly trips to H-E-B in Waxahachie—about a 45-minute, over-40-mile drive from where I live—and those outings became a real treat; I keep going back for my dog’s favorite Hill Country rosemary lamb wet food, whole months’ worth of meats (thin-sliced chicken breasts and perfectly portioned pork chops) for easy meal prep, a Texas honey-scented candle, and San Antonio‑blend coffee." - Courtney E.
