I thought the packaging on this one was so cute!
The August 2015 My Texas Market included the following items:
~Eco-Topia Shade Tree Lotion Bar ($8): I have already used this about a dozen times. It is awesome on your elbows and heels. I found that it applied smoothly and didn’t melt too quickly or come off in clumps. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do and it does it well.
~Stateline Designs “All Things Texas” Koozie ($5): For some reason I didn’t snap an individual picture of this? I am going to send it off to a friend who used to live in Texas that I know will enjoy it!
~Dallas Caramel Co. Caramels ($7): We received these caramels in three flavors – original, bacon and chipotle. The original was my favorite, but they were all good. The chipotle tasted smokey and while it wasn’t the one I liked the best it was the most interesting out of the three.
~Brass Heart Earrings by Annarees ($10): These earrings had a piece of take holding them down on the card and it seems to have left a spot on them? I think it will eventually fade and it’s likely not as noticeable when they are on, but I suspect they won’t be taping things down again like that.
~Salinas Salsa ($6.95): Eeek! This is way too hot for me! I sometimes think mild salsa is too much! I am going to give this to my mom and see if she can handle it.
~Bravado Hot Sauce (Ghost Pepper & Blueberry) ($5.99): Oh man, I don’t think I will be able to handle this one either. I am going to look into some recipes for it and see if there’s something this is used in that I will like. If not though B will use it on a ribs or something for work. They LOVE hot sauce and will like this fun flavor.
All totaled I came up with a value of $42.94 for the August 2015 My Texas Market. I thought this box was very Texas and did a great job of making their selections.

What is milk salsa? I love salsa but have never heard of that before
Oops. That was supposed to be mild salsa ;(. Sorry! But google tells me milk salsa is really a thing:
Milk Salsa:
1 ounce Ancho chilies, de-veined
2 ounces piloncillo
? liter milk
2 pieces star anise
Ghost pepper is one of the hottest peppers out there. So be very careful with that one. We love spicy food, put hot sauce on practically everything but even we’re careful with ghost pepper. I usually put only a few drops of ghost sauce when we do ribs- I mix it with olive oil and a milder hot sauce, like Tapatio usually. The blueberry flavor you got sounds amazing though, I think I might have to order some.
