Mizzou Links, 6-5-14: ~12 weeks to South Dakota State, and hello, MLB Draft

I'm not sure about Frito salad, but this gives me a chance to mention how much I enjoyed the first Homesick Texan cookbook. Outstanding carnitas, tacos al carbon, and coffee-chipotle brisket recipes. I assume this one will be just as good.
