It’s all about family at Texas Select Seasonings™.
Texas Select Seasonings is dedicated to the loving memory of three of the most influential people in my life. The Texas Select Seasonings are all about family.
First, my father Billy Powell, a proud American who bravely served in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, was a devoted father to four children and loving husband to my mother Alma.
Dad raised us with a strong sense of discipline and respect. After the war my father put himself back in school to continue his career as a diesel mechanic. When Dad passed at the young age of 50, he was a diesel mechanic instructor and wrote curriculum for the apprenticeship program at Metro Transit Authority in Houston, Texas.
My father enjoyed barbecuing for the family. On family birthdays we would gather at my parent’s house and take turns preparing a meal of choice designated by the birthday recipient. We would spend the afternoon in Christian fellowship. Dad’s favorite (that I cooked on his birthday) was seafood stuffed jalapeños and grilled redfish!
My grandparents on mom’s side, Simon and Elidia Garcia, lived on a ranch in Alice, Texas where I spent full summers with them. I can still remember the aroma of fresh ground chili pequin and homemade tortillas coming from her kitchen. She made the best carne guisada, fideo, enchiladas and other Spanish dishes that I have ever eaten in my life.
