ACC REQUESTS 

Friends, we respectfully request that you submit an ACC request 

to the Westminster Landing HOA, Inc, for changes to your yard 

or home. Things like sheds and back yard patios, visible from the 

street, require prior approval from the ACC committee. Changes 

to your yard, including even minor landscaping, rocks and bushes 

require approval from the Home Owner Association. The rule of 

thumb is you can’t make any changes to your yard or home that 

are visible from the street without prior approval. Please help keep 

expenses down by first getting permission to make changes instead 

of the HOA having to mail you a deed restriction letter.

ATTENTION DOG OWNERS 

ACMP has received complaints concerning people walking their 

dogs in the park and letting them do their “business.” By law you 

are supposed to clean up after your pet. Pet owners should have 

respect for our park and the others who wish to use this park. This is 

not a dog park, this area is for residents to enjoy. Please keep your 

dogs out of the park.

of my favorite holiday list. Check out these fun facts about the religious

who symbolizes the hare and the egg. 

• The exchange or giving of Easter eggs actually dates back to before 

Easter and the giving of eggs is actually considered a symbol of 

rebirth in many cultures. 

• Americans buy more than 700 million marshmallow Peeps during 

Easter? This makes Peeps the most popular non-chocolate 

Easter candy.

not twice, but three times.

STS FOUNDATION SEEKS U.S. FAMILIES IN HOUSTON AREA TO

private or shared). Each student is supported by a professionally trained

The first National Autism Awareness Month was declared by the 

Autism Society in April 1970. The aim of this month is educate 

the public about autism. Autism is a complex mental condition 

and developmental disability, characterized by difficulties in the 

way a person communicates and interacts with other people. 

Autism can be be present from birth or form during early childhood 

(typically within the first three years). Autism is a lifelong 

developmental disability with no single known cause. People 

with autism are classed as having Autism Spectrum Disorder 

(ASD) and the terms autism and ASD are often used interchangeably. 

A wide spectrum disorder, people will autism have set of 

symptoms unique to themselves, no two people are the same. 

Increasing Awareness About The Common 

Characteristics Of Autism 

Whilst no two people with autism will have the same set of 

symptoms, there are common characteristics found in those with 

this complex disability. Briefly, these characteristics include: 

6 Westminster Landing | April 2017

Social Skills. People with autism have problems interacting with others; 

autistic children do not have adequate playing and talking skills. Mild 

symptoms on one end of the spectrum may be displayed through clumsy 

behavior, being out of sync with those around them and inappropriate 

or offensive comments being made. At the other end of the spectrum 

an autistic person may not be interested in others. 

Empathy. Empathy is the ability to recognize and understand the feelings 

of another person. People with autism find it harder to show empathy to 

others although they can be taught to acknowledge the others feelings. 

Physical Contact. In some cases, autistic people do not like physical 

contact such as hugs, tickling or physical play with others. 

Sudden Changes To Their Environment. A sudden change in the surrounding 

environment may affect a person with autism. The could be 

a loud noise, a change in intensity of lighting or even a change in smell. 

Speech. Speech can be affected in people with autism. ‘Echolalia’ is a 

typical speech symptom in which the person repeats words and phrases 

that they hear. The speech tone of an autistic person may be monotonous. 

Where symptoms are more extreme, the person may not speak. 

Changes To Behavior and Routine. People with autism often display 

repetitive behavior in which they repeat the same action many times 

over. For example, a person with autism may repeatedly pace around a 

room in a certain direction. Any change to their behavior or routine can 

be unsettling for them. This could be a reordering of daily activities such 

as when a person brushes their teeth, takes a shower and has breakfast 

when they get up in the morning. Other characteristics of autism include 

an unpredictable learning rate, obsessions and physical tics. 

Autism Is Widespread, Awareness About This Condition Is Not 

In the United States, autism affects 1 in every 110 children. National Autism 

Awareness Month aims to make the public more aware about this 

widespread disability and the issues which arise in the autism community. 

As about 1 in 150 people in America have autism, the chances are that 

you know someone with this disability. A better informed public will be 

more empathetic and supportive towards people with autism. 

This month is backed by the Autism Society of America ,which undertake 

a number of activities to raise awareness about autism. The Autism 

Society has local chapters throughout the United States, which hold 

special events throughout April. The ‘Puzzle Ribbon’ is the symbol for 

Autism Awareness and is promoted by the Autism Society as means of 

supporting awareness for autism. The Puzzle Ribbon may take the form of 

a pin attached to clothing, a fridge magnet or a sticker and are available 

to purchase from the Autism Society website. 

The Autism Society of America also run a year long campaign through 

their 1 Power 4 Autism initiative, in which people are encouraged to hold 

events to raise awareness and support for those affected by autism. For 

more information on National Autism Awareness Month visit the Austism 

Society’s Awareness Page.

APRIL OBSERVANCES & FUN FACTS 

Birthstone: Diamond/Flower: Daisy or Sweet Pea 

Pisces Aries (March 21 st -April 20 th )/Taurus (April 21 st -May 20 th ) 

April was formerly the second month in the ancient Roman year, when 

March began the calendar. The real origin of its name has been lost. 

The most common theory is that Aprilis is derived from the Latin verb 

Aperire, to open, as the opening or blossoming, of trees and flowers.

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging 

helps eliminate a great many pests 

that die from various causes while in the 

bag. When you buy ‘loose’ mulch that is 

trucked to your home, you are also buying 

ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little 

more on bagged material and save lots of 

future pest problems. Keep your mulch at 

least 4” - 6” below the top of your homes 

exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid 

in minimizing pests in your home and allow 

for quick and accurate termite inspections. 

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all 

shrubs/plants at least 12” - 18” back from 

your home. Do your best to create a plant 

free zone that is 18” - 24” wide around your 

home. The exception is your lawn - it can 

grow up next to the slab as long as you keep 

GARDENING TIPS FOR APRIL 

it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The most 

conducive to termite infestation are groundcover 

plantings, growing high against your 

homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows 

on your walls. 

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. 

The spring spray eliminates overwintering 

pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist 

the pest onslaught of summer with residual 

pesticides. The fall spray also kills pests from 

the summer, prevents most fungi from occurring 

over the winter and puts your valuable 

asset off to a healthy winter’s dormancy. 

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide 

treatment to stop brown patch in its 

tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is 

thin and weak in some areas, here are some 

important fundamentals: a) lawn aeration 

b) fertilization c) weed control. 

Most important is proper watering: 

• Water once per week 

(unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - 

then do not water.) 

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total 

lawn coverage. 

• In severe drought, water every 5 th day. 

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - 

NOT AT NIGHT. 

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes 

the turf grow deeper, stronger and 

more drought resistant roots. 

• Less watering also saves you money!! 


ANIMAL INFORMATION 

SCOOPAGE PET POOPAGE 

It may not be a fabulous way to walk, but please have courtesy to 

please scoop when your pet poops during your walks. Throughout 

the community trails, you will find areas to toss your pet’s poopage 

and in some areas, there are also bags. Carry your own grocery bags 

- you’ll be recycling at the same time! Many of your neighbors work 

hard with their lawncare and landscaping. Come with a scooper 

and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. Picking up after your 

pets shows your respect for every homeowner and our beautiful 

community. Pet feces damages lawns and many residents are 

working hard to maintaining their grass! 

BARKING DOGS 

While it is true that dogs are born to bark, they were not born to 

bark all day and night, driving your neighbors crazy. If you have 

a dog that must stay outside, please do what you can to limit the 

disturbance to your neighbors. You can find loads of information 

about how to control it at www.barkingdogs.net. 

If you are one of the neighbors suffering from the seemingly endless 

noise of a neighbor’s barking dog, we hope that you will be able 

to speak with the owner about it. In many cases, the neighbor is 

unaware of the situation because, for one reason, they are away 

during the day. If the owner is unwilling or unable to do anything 

about it, you can call animal control at 281-999-3191 and have 

them do a check on the dog for possible neglect and abuse. (They 

won’t always come out for the barking alone.) The Sheriff’s Dept 

generally cannot do anything about it and they encourage you to 

call animal control as well. You can also find more information 

about the situation by looking on the website listed above. 

Ideally, the neighbors will be able to work out something mutually 

agreeable for everyone and every dog. 

VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION 

(Formerly called Harris County Animal Control) 

The Veterinary Public Health Division posts photos of all animals 

found on their website and updates it twice daily. If you have lost 

your pet, please check this website, www.hcphes.org/vph. 

Have you lost a pet? 

Start your search immediately, don't wait to make flyers. 

Contact all possible animal control or animal welfare agencies in the 

area. Visit each location at least every other day. 

Call your pet’s veterinarian and the microchip company to make sure 

they have current contact information for you. A citizen may try to 

call the veterinarian’s office or microchip company themselves from 

your pet’s tags. 

Call all the veterinarians in your area to alert them to the description 

of your lost pet in case someone brings it to their clinic. 

Check with your neighbors, especially families with children 

and ask if they’ve seen a pet that looks like yours. 

Search your neighborhood on foot, your pet maybe be nearby 

but is injured and unable to get back home. 

Leave a towel or article of clothing with your scent on it outside of 

your home. Your pet may be disorientated and will be attracted by 

your scent. 

Have you found a pet? 

First, think of the animal as lost and not abandoned and make every 

effort to reunite the animal to an owner. 

Contact the HCPH VPH office by telephone and report the animal 

as found. 

Bring the animal to the HCPH VPH facility or check with a local veterinarian 

to scan the animal for a microchip. 


Return to the place where you found the animal and put up a found 

pet poster near that location. 

If you find the owner, especially off a newspaper or website posting, 

ask them to provide a picture of the animal and meet in a public 

place like a police station. 

More information about Microchips & Microchip companies 

A microchip is a small device (size of a grain of rice) that is permanent 

and implanted with a needle under the skin of pets. 

Pets do not have to be given any pain medication or anesthesia 

to implant a microchip. 

Microchips are not likely to move or need repair if implanted correctly. 

Microchips, when scanned, show a unique code. The microchip 

must be registered with the corresponding microchip manufacture 

to record any owner and animal data. 

Microchips do not work like GPS locators or LoJack and cannot give 

a signal to find the location of your lost pet.

HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW 

Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. 

While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running 

at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many 

children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could 

result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal. 

Veterinary Public Health (formerly called Harris County Animal Control) 

advises that “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while 

in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of 

a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed 

dog or cat, nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.” 

Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following 

circumstances: 

1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in 

length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable 

of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question 

2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle 

3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does 

not have access to sidewalk 

or street.” 

While it may be nice to have 

your animal out in the yard 

while you work or play, it is 

against the law, unless the 

animal is properly restrained. 

Let’s all help keep our community 

a safe and comfortable 

place for all our residents by 

being responsible pet owners. 

This will not only protect 

anyone who may be walking 

or bicycling in the area, but 

also the pet owner who could 

be held legally responsible 

or possibly sued for failing to 

properly restrain their pet. For 

a complete list of regulations,

1) Daily calorie needs: Most women need 2,000 calories a day for good 

health and men generally need about 2,550. One way to work out your 

daily calorie needs is to multiply your weight in pounds by 13 to 15, 

depending on your activity level. But roughly, that’s 300 to 400 calories 

for breakfast, 500 to 600 for lunch, 600 to 700 for dinner and two or three 

snacks of roughly 100 to 200 calories each. Trying to lose weight? Eat 

roughly 500 calories less. 

2) Waist size: For women, health risk begins to rise when your waist is 

more than 35 inches. For men, risk increases with a measurement when 

your waist is over 40 inches. 

3) LDLs & HDLs: Aim for total cholesterol below 5.2 mmol/l (below 5 

mmol/l if you have heart disease or diabetes) and LDL cholesterol levels 

below 3.5 mmol/l or below 2 mmol/l if you have a history of heart 

disease. A healthy HDL level is 1.3 mmol/l or above. 

4) Blood pressure: A reading of 140/90 mm Hg or more is considered 

high and if it’s between 120/80 and 139/89, you may still be at risk and 

should be taking steps to prevent the development of hypertension. 

5) Triglyceride levels: A normal triglyceride reading is less than 1.7 

mmol/l. Your doctor will advise you how often you should have your 

triglycerides checked. 

6) Morning pulse rate: a normal resting pulse rate is 60 to 90 beats per 

minute. People who are fit tend to have lower resting pulse rates because 

their heart muscles are in good shape. But if you don’t exercise 

regularly and your heart rate is lower than the normal range, tell your 

doctor-it could be a sign of heart disease.

GOLDEN EAGLES CLINCH 

FIRST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP 

IN SCHOOL HISTORY 

The Cypress Falls High School boys’ basketball 

team came back from a first-half deficit 

and survived a late-game run by San Antonio 

Wagner to win the school’s first-ever UIL Class 

6A state championship, 63-57, on March 11 th 

at the Alamodome in San Antonio. 

The Golden Eagles (35-3) capped a historic 

season in dramatic fashion, rebounding 

from a 19-11 disadvantage to take control in 

the second and third quarters and distance 

themselves from the Thunderbirds. 

The Cypress Falls Golden Eagles display their 2017 state championship trophy. 

Wagner came within 3 points in the fourth 

quarter, but clutch free-throw shooting from 

Cypress Falls (32 of 40 for 80 percent) sealed 

the result. 

Cypress Falls High School junior Nigel Hawkins was named the MVP with an 18-point, 

4-steal performance in which he shot 10 of 12 from the free-throw line. 

Junior teammate Trajan Wesley led all scorers with 20 points on an emotional date. 

His late mother, Monica, passed away 10 years ago to the day on March 11, 2007. “I 

can’t explain it,” he said. “Even though she couldn’t be here, she was here in spirit. 

This is for her.” 

Championship MVP Cypress Falls junior guard Nigel Hawkins. 

“It was a great moment for our kids, but also for our fans,” Coach Flores said. “It 

was great to see so much green and gold out there and the support we had. A lot of 

people drove in today just to see this game. They stepped up for us.”

What is a fast paced hard hitting game so often termed, “THE COOLEST 

GAME IN TOWN” and is played in the Cypress area? You got it, High School 

Hockey…. and did you know that there are 10 teams and over 200 High 

School players in the Houston area that lace up the skates and drop the 

puck every weekend in the Greater Houston area? 

Hockey is a blend of speed, agility, strength and endurance with hard hits 

and graceful scorers. Hockey takes the hand eye coordination of baseball, 

the equipment and pads and hard hits from football and combines 

it with the skill of skating on a ¼ blade of steel to create what is some of 

the most entertaining action in sports today. Most players started skating 

at the age of 5 and are now High School athletes playing games every 

weekend with High School Varsity Action. A select few of the players carry 

the desire to another level playing on the local Houston Wild Travel Teams 

facing other teams from the Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Oklahoma 

areas. The desire and drive of these WARRIORS ON ICE is showcased 

every weekend from October to March with High School Varsity Action. 

The Interscholastic Hockey League or “ISHL” as its commonly known is a 

Houston Area High School Hockey League made up of a North and South 

division. The High School Varsity teams are comprised of either all players 

coming from one school or as a “blended” team which combines skaters 

from several schools. There are 5 teams in the ISHL North Division with 

4 playing their home games at the Willowbrook Aerodrome. The North 

Division teams are a blended team Fair Creek along with Cy-Woods, 

Woodlands, Klein and Brazos Valley. The South Division teams play their 

home games at the Sugarland Ice Arena in Sugarland. The South Division 

is made up of 5 teams, Cinco Ranch, Pearland/Friendswood, Memorial 

West, Seven Lakes and Clement/Ridgepoint. 


HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY REV’S UP TOWARDS THE PLAYOFFS 

The team holding the overall league leading record is Fair Creek 

whose players reside mainly in the Cypress area with 4 players 

from Cy-Fair HS, 2 from Cy-Creek HS, 2 from Langham Creek HS, 2 

from Cy-Ridge HS and 1 from Cy-Springs HS. In addition, there are 9 

players drafted from other schools (Tomball, Magnolia, Kingwood, 

Conroe and Humble). The Fair Creek team is led “locally” on the 

ice by CFISD Students Seniors Jaxon Sharp and Gail Snyder from 

Cy-Creek HS, Juniors Tyler McLeroy, Brandon Roskey and Brother 

Jonathon Roskey and Goalie Evan Ruonavaara all from Cy Fair High 

School, Juniors Caleb Newport and Grant Marconi from Langham 

Creek HS, Junior Grayson Slagle and Freshman Joey Epplin from 

Cy-Ridge HS and Sophomore Brendan Oglesby. Fair Creek’s team 

scoring leader is Sam Robinson from Kingwood HS and whose brother 

Jake Robinson also plays for the team. Fair Creek is led on the ice 

by the ISHL’S All Time Winningest Coach Paul St Amand with long 

time Assistant Coach Russ DiRaimo and 3 rd year Coach Jeff Smith. 

The final regular league games were played on Friday Night, February 

17 th with 2 STRONG matchups featuring 1 st Place Fair Creek 

going against 2 nd place Cy-Woods and immediately following was 

a matchup of #4 Cinco Ranch going against #6 Klein, both games 

were played at the Willowbrook Aerodrome. 

The exciting ISHL playoffs culminated with one team being crowned 

the 2017 CITY of HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPION. The playoffs 

ran from February 24 th through March 10 th , with the playoff matchups 

determined once the regular season games are completed. For more 

information on standings and statistics, check out the ISHL website

the past 7 years, Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital, a Cy-Fair 

Educational Foundation Partner, has generously underwritten this 

tournament. Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson and IBI Group have 

been Platinum Sponsors for more than 10 years. 

One of the largest non-celebrity tournaments 

in the Houston area, the B.F. Adam Golf Classic 

is a prime example of our trustees and community 

business partners working together to 

raise scholarship funds for students of Cypress 

Fairbanks ISD. This tournament has successfully 

raised over 2.7 million dollars. CFEF was established 

in 1970 as a non-profit to raise money to 

fund a scholarship for high school graduates in 

the area. Over the past 46 years, the Foundation 

has grown tremendously through the efforts 

of the Board of Trustees and the generosity of 

the Cy-Fair Community. The Foundation has 

awarded more than $7 million in scholarships to 

1,400 graduating seniors. CFEF is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, 

all contributions are tax deductible, as allowed by the law.

concluded the evening with a Friendship Circle and singing “Make New Friends.” 

Many thanks to Jewel Cardenas Munoz, who chaired the event! 

Cookie sales and Cookie booths continued into March and many of our troops 

decorated their cookie booths with posters, banners and other decorations, 

including giant “cookies” made of felt or cloth and hula hoops! 

We appreciate the support of our friends, families and neighbors 

during the annual Girl Scout Cookie Sale. Cookie sales fund individual 

troop activities and help to support our great camps. Many thanks to 

Michelle Baxmann and all the troop Cookie managers and volunteers 

for their hard work. 

March 12 th is the official birthday of Girl Scouting in the United States and many

Brownie Girl Scouts to their troop meeting. At the meeting, they read the book

refreshments. Troop 113004 planned and held a Girl Scout only Cheer Clinic with

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT 

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the 

Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping 

youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth 

develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, outdoor skills 

and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. 

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities that allow 

them to: 

• Try new things. 

• Provide service to others. 

• Build self-confidence. • Reinforce ethical standards. 

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals while 

promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility and high self-esteem. As 

a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and 

the right choices can be made. 

Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting through 

the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help our youth 

Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area Counsel - 

Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 to 10 years old), 

13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing units (boys and girls 

from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly. 

Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools including: 

Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley, Horne, Jowell, 

Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan, Tipps, Walker and 

Wilson. 

Other Community groups include: Autumn Creek Baptist Church, Beck and 

Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United Methodist Church, Copperfield Church, 

Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield Village HOA, LDS Bear Creek 

and Copperfield Wards, Middlegate Village HOA, Peace Community Church, St. 

Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church and Thornton Middle School. 

Please contact Brendan Cronin, Copperhead District Executive (713-756-3383 or 

email brendan.cronin@scouting.org) or to go www.copperhead.shac.org to find 

join a Scouting unit near you.

BOY SCOUT TROOP 3

orienteering and shooting skills? Scouting is Fun… with a Purpose - where boys 

grow into men instilled with values of duty to God and Country, community 

service, citizenship, leadership and self-confidence. Troop 3 is a boy-lead troop 

where the boys plan an exciting year-round outdoor program. We camp monthly 

and include rock climbing, backpacking and canoeing. Troop 3 also participates 

in a weeklong winter camp, as well as a weeklong summer camp. We welcome all 

young men, 11-18 years old to visit Boy Scout Troop 3 at 7:00 PM Monday nights

Featured Recipe 

We are asking you to send your favorite recipe with a little story behind 

it. Each month we will select one or two recipes to featured in our 

newsletters. If you have a photo of the dish or who makes it special send 

along with the recipe to 

recipes@krenekprinting.com 

This month’s selection is Crawfish Fettuccine. 

I had this delicious dish when I attended my brother’s wedding in Canton, 

Mississippi. The event took place in September of 2004 with hurricane 

Francis coming ashore. I almost didn’t get out of Houston because 

of the major rain that hit here as well as Canton. 

We attended a wedding luncheon in a truly old southern home where 

the meal was prepared by some sweet southern women. There was so 

much southern charm and the food was outstanding. After asking for 

the recipe I received it in the mail by one of those sweet ladies. 

With crawfish season here I thought I would share. Enjoy! 

J. Stults 

CRAWFISH FETTUCCINE 

2 sticks butter 

3 onions chopped 

2 bell peppers chopped 

3 stalks celery, chopped 

3# peeled crawfish tails or Shrinp 

3 cloves garlic, minced 

1 TBS. chopped parsley 

1/2 cup flour 

1 pint Half & Half 

1# Velveeta, cubed 

24 oz. Fettucine 

Chicken broth 

1/4 cup chopped jalapenos (optional) 

Melt butter and saute onions, peppers & celery until tender. Add crawfish, 

simmer 10 min. stirring occasionally. Add garlic, parsley, flour and 

cream - mix well. Simmer on low heat 30 min. stirring occasionally. Add 

cheese & stir until melted. 

Meanwhile cook noodles in chicken broth and creole seasoning, drain 

and combine with sauce. Pour into 2 - 3 quart greased casseroles. 

Bake uncovered @ 300 degrees 20 minutes or until heated. 

Freezes well - 18-20 servings. 

If you like a little extra kick add jalapenos to sauce. Also if you freeze it 

and it seems stiff or dry when you reheat it, add about 1/4 cup Brandy 

or any liquid will return texture. 

TIP: If using frozen crawfish be sure to thaw and rinse before adding to 

mixture.
