The Purple Pig – 533 Main St. Schertz, TX
We all know how delicious Texas barbecue can be, but when was the last time you treated yourself to some Midwest-style barbecue? Unless you’re from the Midwest, we’re going to guess it’s been a while. After all, Texas sure knows what we’re doing when it comes to our barbecued animals. But The Purple Pig is slinging some seriously fun and delicious takes on our old familiar meats. Brisket nachos are the perfect marriage between Texan and Mexican and we can’t wait to get out there and try them. Also on the menu – chopped brisket, sausage, turkey legs, and sides like mac & cheese, cream corn, and potato salad.

Might we suggest Galpão Gaucho, one of our loyal clients who has been serving up fine Brazilian meats to the San Antonio area since 2015. The dinner menu includes 17 different cuts of meat ranging from beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and fish. Even the pickiest eater has something to look forward to in this dining experience. Check out their menu and try not to drool on your keyboard while making a reservation. COVID-19 may have taken away lunch service, but dinner service is running hot and the well-trained servers are prepared to stop by your table and slice off fresh cuts right onto your plate. Don’t forget the veggies and salad bar, and delicious homemade sweet flan for dessert. 

If you’re more in the mood for eating with your hands and scarfing down some tacos, you’re totally covered! Sangria on the Burg is another one of our loyal clients who is offering up some treats during Culinaria’s final Restaurant Week. Due to limited seating and high demand (everyone wants those delicious goodies!), Sangria on the Burg has implemented a helpful table time limit for guests, and are happily cooking up their famous sliders, tacos, and salads.  Let us not forget the ever-essential drinks, like margaritas, wine, the Pom Pom Mule, and cold draft beer. Everything is curated to be a culinary perfection, down to the slider bread which is made and delivered fresh daily. Don’t want to fight for parking spots? Sangria on the Burg recently started a promotion where you can show your Uber or Lyft receipt to the manager for your trip to the restaurant that day, and your table will get one free batch of chips and queso as a way of saying thank you for carsharing and making the special trip out. 

We hope you get a chance to support these amazing businesses during the final week of Culinaria’s Restaurant Week, and many times thereafter. If you’re a restaurant owner or owner-to-be, consider talking with our agents about securing your beloved business with restaurant insurance. As you can tell from just two of our many restaurant clients, we are here to support our clientele with the best options to cover any of the risks associated with owning a restaurant. Call us today to discuss the coverage for you. 

The post Two Places to Dine in San Antonio During Culinaria Restaurant Week appeared first on SOGO Insurance.

Pick a Machine with a Wide Variety of Functions – If you decide to go all out and get a whole exercise machine, make sure it covers the bases in terms of what exactly you want to work out. Sure, a Peloton is popular and exciting, but are you needing to focus on strength training as well? Research different types of machines depending on the workout you’re hoping to get. Are you in it for the cardio? Consider a bike or elliptical. Are you in it for the glamour muscles? Consider kettlebells or an extensive weight set. Are you in it for peace of mind? Consider ditching a machine altogether and making a yoga station. Whatever works for you, get the correct machinery for the job.

It Doesn’t Have to Cost a Fortune – You do not have to cash out your life savings in order to have a perfectly good home gym in your reach. Some of the best workout tools are simple and cost-effective, like a jump rope, foam rollers, resistance bands, or some good old-fashioned athletic shoes for running in place. Even yoga mats can be effective for a wind-down session, or as a general cushion under your feet for when you are lifting weights. So many exercises and stretches can be done using just your body versus gravity and the concrete floor of your garage.

Don’t Forget Ventilation – If you do end up using the garage, decide on whether or not you’ll need a fan or small air conditioning unit plugged in for proper ventilation. If you decide to use a room inside the house, don’t forget to consider things like 1) is this room hot in the afternoon when I intend to work out? And 2) How close is this space to my partner’s home office and will they hear my workout music while they’re on a conference call for work? You will want a well-ventilated space because your body will be begging for those precious oxygen molecules the harder you pump your blood through your body.

Keep It Organized – If you’re serious about having a mini gym in your home, then get serious about the way you organize it. The last thing you need is a trip to the hospital because you tripped over a jump rope you could have easily hung up. No one wants to walk into a home gym that is messy and not prepared for a good, focused workout. If you are sharing this home gym with anyone else in your home, plan to have antibacterial wipes close by, and consider an air freshener in a tightly-enclosed space.

Read the Directions When Cooking Meat

We’re not kidding. You may be a roasting pro, having made several successful and beautiful hunks of meat in the past, but we urge you to check the label and make note of the size of the piece of meat you’re working with so that you can cook it for the correct amount of time. Whether you’re baking, smoking, or frying something, you should check the pounds and calculate the precise amount of time, checking on the meat as you go so it doesn’t catch fire. Unfortunately, once a piece of meat catches fire, it’s easy for the fire to get carried away quickly because of the sheer amount of fat that is likely on the meat. For safety measures, have a bowl of flour nearby in case of an emergency, and NEVER throw water on a fire, as it will only explode. If something does catch fire, throw flour instead. 

Compost Those Potato Peels 

Do not – we repeat – do not throw all those potato peels in your garbage disposal. Contrary to popular belief, your disposal is not hungry and is not invincible. As powerful as the motor can be, potato peels can quickly clog a disposal, meaning an overflowing sink of brown, starchy water all over your kitchen floor, potentially causing damage to some types of floors and wooden cabinetry. 

Serve Reasonable Amounts of Alcohol 

Having carloads of family around can be stressful on a normal holiday, but COVID-themed holiday meals having to be coordinated over Zoom and delivery can also be a little nerve-wracking. If you opt to have guests at your holiday meal (socially distanced, of course), don’t solve the stress with too many beers or bottles of wine. So many things can go wrong, like forgetting about whatever is in the oven, or having a guest walk around your home with two left feet. Priceless artwork, custom millwork, expensive furniture, and even family pets can be injured when someone gets a little “too festive.” Avoid serving too much alcohol and prevent an accident from happening.  

No matter where you gather this holiday season, please be careful and use your best judgment before making any rash decisions. If you find yourself up Accident River without a paddle, you can call your SOGO agent and we can help you secure a policy that will cover you through turkey gravy and unfortunate accidents. 

In case you missed it: “Five San Antonio-Area Hiking Spots to Shave Off Turkey Weight” has some beautiful areas around town that are waiting for you. When the weather is clear, cool, and crisp, you can put on your hiking boots or walking shoes and get out there and get a bit sweaty. Work off the holiday food poundage you may have gained and feel good about ending out the year on a good note. As we round out the year, we invite you to evaluate your insurance needs and let us review those with you. We know we can help you cover the areas in your life that may be left a little vulnerable during this strange time in our lives. Call our team and let’s work through the details together. 

The post How to avoid Holiday Cooking Disasters This Season appeared first on SOGO Insurance.

No need to exercise your brain too much, because we’ve compiled a list of five San Antonio-area hiking spots where you can shave off that turkey weight. 

1.  O P Schnabel Trailhead – This beautiful San Antonio park includes 202 acres of natural vegetation to ogle, including oak trees, mountain laurels, and tons of native vegetation. With 8 different trails, anyone from beginner to expert can find something they’d like to hike, from the 0.7-mile “Bluff Loop” to the 7.7-mile Leon Creek Greenway North Trail. Connector trails can be found in between, in case you get really brave and feel like combining several trails together for more ground coverage. Before you go, check out the pavilion center to see if any socially-distanced classes are going to be held in the near future. 

2. Salado Creek Greenway – Salado Creek Greenway North (1604 Trailhead) and Salado Creek Greenway South (Oakwell Trailhead) are the north and south entrances to what makes up the giant, city-expansive greenway. Along the trail are several city parks, including Hardberger Park, Walker Ranch Park, McAllister Park, Lady Bird Johnson Park, and Tobin Park. Over 80 miles of developed (and accessible!) trails open from sunrise to sunset, giving nature-lovers and fitness gurus a chance to find a middle ground. Most of the greenway has creekside access, so you can take a little break from your hiking to enjoy the fresh air and creek views.

3. Comanche Lookout Park –  The fourth-highest point in Bexar County is waiting for you to reach the top. Hundreds of years ago, the Indigenous People of the area used this hill as a vantage point for hunting and war. When you hike up the trails to the top of the hill, you can enjoy the view of the city for miles. Even though the hiking trail is popular, you’ll find that the trail manages to be somewhat quiet and peaceful. At the top, you’ll also find the four-story medieval-style stone tower built by Army Colonel Edward H. Coppock in February 1923. Keep an eye out for wildlife along the trail. Small wild rabbits have been known to hop along the trail.

4. Friedrich Wilderness Park – San Antonio Natural Areas are designated areas of wilderness being officially protected by the government, and home to several studies and scientific programs. Often, volunteers come together to help take care of these areas, and Friedrich Wilderness Park is no exception. The park features 600 acres of undeveloped Hill Country terrain and 10 miles of paved and unpaved trails. Some trails are more difficult than others, but others are wheelchair accessible, so all types of hikers can enjoy the natural area. Don’t plan to leash up your pup this time — Friedrich Wilderness Park has a policy of no animals except service animals, including leashed dogs.

1. Medina River Natural Area – This beautiful area has 7 miles of trails ready for hikers who want to see a stretch of all kinds of natural features and vegetation. If you’re in the mood to take a more zen hike, make your way to the waterside and listen to the river stream over rocks and through the trees. If you get so comfortable that you wish you could stay, remember that the area has a group camping area available by reservation. 

In case you missed it: “Tips for Safe Hunting in South Texas” has some easy-to-follow safety tips for anyone looking to enjoy South Texas hunting this season. After your hike or big hunt, be sure to take some time to plan for your future with our seasoned agents who can help you find the right insurance for your needs. No matter how buttoned-up you feel, it’s good to check with the professionals to make sure you’re actually all covered. 

The post Five San Antonio-Area Hiking Spots to Shave Off Turkey Weight appeared first on SOGO Insurance.

Tell Someone You’re Going Hunting
We know – this one sounds obvious, right? But we don’t mean just to let every one of your Facebook friends know you’re headed to the lease. We mean that you should tell someone you can trust to get you the help you need in the event an accident should occur. Share the address and name of the lease you will be at, and plan times of arrival and departure so that your friend or family member knows when to expect you home. Don’t count on cell phone service to be the greatest when you’re out in the midst of white-tailed deer and other brush-country creatures. Turn on location services on your cell phone in the event an emergency crew needs to look for you. 

Take a Hunter’s Education Course
According to Texas law, every hunter born on or after September 2, 1971 must successfully complete a hunter education training course in order to hunt lawfully. But we suggest, even if you were born before then, to brush up on what you already know and take the course anyway. What could hurt? You can even take this course online, so wear your PJs and brush up on your hunting knowledge to be extra safe when you’re out in the field. At $15, it’s a low price to pay for some handy information that you can share with other hunters who may not have retained all the information taught in the class. 

Lock Away Guns and Ammo
Especially if you have kiddos tagging along with you, you’ll want to lock away guns and ammo when they are not being used. You never know when an excited kid gets brave and thinks they can handle a gun when they spot a moving animal, forgetting that there are other hunters moving about the lease as well. Accidental firing of shotguns are not unheard of, and an injury could be looming if you’re not careful. Always assume your gun is loaded, even if you’re “sure” it’s not. Handle the gun as a weapon that could fire any moment, even when you have it locked away. 

Watch the Weather and Dress for Success
The only thing worse than being too cold when you’re hanging out in the woods is being too cold out in the woods and still having to be “vewwwwy quiet” like Elmer Fudd says. Research the weather for the days you’ll be heading out, and dress accordingly. No one with you will have a good time if you decide to wear a flimsy t-shirt and you end up shivering in the chilly November winds while you’re trying to shoot a deer quietly. If you haven’t invested in snakeproof boots, settle for some gaiters that will protect your ankles and lower-legs while you trudge through the natural fields. You might not hear that bone-chilling rattle of a diamondback rattlesnake through your earmuffs, so dress appropriately and avoid being uncomfortable or unnecessary injuries that can ruin the whole trip. 

Check the Blind Before You Climb
If you are lucky enough to have a deer blind to help you scope out the goods, then do a quick check-in of the blind for four-legged creatures that have enjoyed the shelter during the offseason. This hilarious video of a raccoon in the blind is a good reminder of deer blind safety, but other not-so-funny events like a blind collapse have happened before too. Never check a blind with a gun in your hand, as you never know what will jump out at you and cause you to “scare-fire” your weapon. 

Wherever you head out to hunt this season, follow these safety tips to keep everyone happy and safe. Before you hop in the truck with all your gear, make a call to our SOGO agents to discuss your life insurance options. Anything can happen when you partake in potentially dangerous situations like hunting, even if you’re a seasoned pro. Check-in with our agents and make sure you’re covered for any situation. Your family is counting on you to keep them protected and well-cared-for, so make the call and invest in the future of your family with any of our broad options for life insurance and more.

Host a Virtually Spooky Get-together

Most health professionals are suggesting to avoid large indoor gatherings, so your traditional Halloween party might be out of the question, but if you get creative, it doesn’t have to be completely canceled. Find a spot in your home that you can decorate with your normal Halloween bobbles. Light some spooky candles and taper some spider webs across the walls. Stream a banner in a hallway and decorate your kitchen table with a black table covering and spooky snacks. Organize a Zoom meeting with your closest friends, and challenge each other to a decorating contest. Of course, you can still dress up and host a virtual Halloween costume as well, and the winner gets a gift card to their favorite take-out spot. 

Find a Healthy Way To Trick-or-Treat

If you choose to go completely traditional, all you have to do is make a few modifications to keep things healthy. Door-to-door visiting is a bit riskier, so prepare the kiddos for the changes so they aren’t caught off guard. First, plan to incorporate a mask into their Halloween costumes. You don’t have to go as a doctor or surgeon to make a face mask fit the theme. If you’ve got a princess, add some glitter to the mask for some sparkle. If you’ve got a firefighter, adhere to a name sticker with “Firefighter Sam” or whatever your child wants to be called. Adding a few details to the mask can make everyone feel like a mask has been a part of the plan all along. 

We’re sure the streets will be crowded, but do your best to stay apart from wandering neighbors and other spooky goblins along the way. If you have a wagon, consider decorating it and bringing it along. People will naturally follow at least a few feet behind you because of the wagon, and it acts as a bonus candy holder. Bring along some hand sanitizer, and have the kids “wash up” at the end of every block, just to be safe. As tempting as it is, avoid eating candy on the walk so as not to have your potentially-infected hands near your mouth.

Spead Halloween Treats, Not Germs

If you plan to stay at home with the porch light on, make a few modifications to your candy-giving technique to keep the kiddos safe. Wear spooky animal hands, or black latex gloves, while passing out candy. Keep a jug of hand sanitizer nearby, so people can grab a handful of sanitizer as well as a treat. If you don’t want to have anyone close enough to pass out candy, consider making a game of it. Put a piece of duct tape on the ground at least six feet away from your front door, along with a sign that says, “Stand here for a trick or treat!” That way, you can carefully toss the candy into the bag of an eager child, and everyone can cheer for a catch.

No matter what you decide to do, be sure to practice regular Halloween safety tips. Look for cars while crossing the street. Take along a flashlight or light bracelet for extra visibility. Sift through candy once you get home and discard any unwrapped candy or suspicious items. And most of all, HAVE FUN and save a piece of candy for us. 

In case you missed it: “Cyber Security Wellness Month” has some helpful advice on keeping your digital information safe. October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, so take some time to learn some internet safety tips while the info is plentiful. Be safe while trick-or-treating, and make a small pile of candy to munch on while you chat with us about your insurance needs. We’re here for you, and won’t “ghost” you like others. Happy Halloween! 

The post Halloween 2020 COVID19 Pandemic Edition appeared first on SOGO Insurance.

1. Get Your Flu Shot – We know, we know. It hurts! But the little mosquito bite-sized sting is worth the trouble. The CDC recommends anyone 6 months and older to get a flu shot, especially those that are high risk of complications from getting the flu (CDC.gov). Put on your mask and make the trek to your general practitioner, or find out if you are eligible to get one at a flu shot clinic held at your local pharmacy. With the COVID-19 pandemic already in full swing, it’s even more important to take preventative measures this season. Get brave and roll up your sleeves!
2. Take a Multivitamin – Make your momma proud and pop a multivitamin bright and early in the morning to help your immune system stabilize itself against incoming germs. The cooler air will start to dry your throat, causing potential inflammation and irritation, so prep early and build up those antibodies if you can.
3. Wash Those Hands – You’re probably pretty good at this by now, but it’s worth mentioning again that it’s vital to wash, wash, wash your hands during this season. If you suffer from those Texas allergies like we do, you’re likely sneezing and coughing already, collecting spreadable germs right at your fingertips. Do yourself and your family a favor and wash up. Don’t forget to sing a 20-second long tune to help guide you. 
4. Have Some Turkey – Turkey and stuffing season is among us, and we’re here for it. But don’t forget to portion your meals appropriately. Weight gain is common during the fall because of all the delicious food at your fingertips. With that weight gain can come other common problems, like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Skip the roll and butter if you can, and opt for some fresh green beans instead. Little healthy choices can go a long way this season. 
5. Take a (Socially-Distanced) Walk – Taking some time to take a stroll to see the beautiful fall foliage is good for your physical exercise, and your mental state as well. The upcoming holidays might have you a bit stressed, and stress can cause your immune system to bail on you. Lace-up your tennis shoes and take a brisk walk in a park or on a trail. Take in the sights and recite things you’re thankful for this season. Don’t forget to bring a light jacket so you don’t catch a cold! 

For more tips, follow along with us on our blog and social media pages. We’ve got some pretty helpful information about all kinds of topics, including several types of insurance policies that can help you protect your greatest assets. Stay healthy and happy, and reach out to us if you need us to give some brain-power toward your insurance needs.

In case you missed it: “Why National Small Business Day Is a Big Deal” lines up the several types of insurance that small business owners can benefit from, from regular old types of business insurance, all the way to personal insurance that might have slipped your mind. We’re here to discuss, so give us a call.

• Dust off Summer Novels On your BookshelfWe won’t tell anybody that you’ve ordered more books from Amazon than you could have ever expected to read through in your past pre-quarantined life. We’ve all got that stash of brand new books that now have a lovely layer of dust on the spine. Make yourself proud and peruse the shelves for that one book you’ve been putting off. Instead of curling up on the couch like you normally might do, grab the mosquito spray and head outside for a dusk-lit reading session on the back porch. Bonus points if you spot any fireflies buzzing about.  
• Create Your Own Drive-Thru MovieWe know you’re sick of Netflix. We are too. But this time, you can create a different kind of movie night. Grill some hotdogs, pop some popcorn, and maybe even grab a box of Milk Duds. Open up that tailgate and pile on some old blankets for an old-fashioned movie night. We know you might not have a projector, so grab your iPad or laptop and watch the movie from the comfort of your vehicle. Bonus points if you sneak a smooch from the one you love.
• Cook Up a New RecipeForget the barbecue for a night. We already know we’re good at smokin’ up those ribs. Try something new, like a fancy pasta dish, or a seafood paella. With the convenience of grocery pick-up, you can still order a nice bottle of wine and recreate a five-star meal, right in your own kitchen, and in your PJs no less. Share the recipe with your friends (in an email, of course!) and challenge them to try a new recipe of their own. Bonus points if you commit to making this newly-found gourmet meal for your friends once the germs let up.
• Have a Cocktail Experiment NightIt might have been a little weird to drink alone before the quarantine, but we’re giving you a free pass to enjoy a cocktail or two without inviting over the whole neighborhood. Try something you wouldn’t normally drink, like a fruity or summery drink, or that craft beer you’ve been eyeing. Bonus points if you write a review on the drink like you’re a professional food critic.

While you’re hanging out at home enjoying Labor Day 2020, don’t forget to schedule a time to talk to one of our agents about your beloved digs. Having the right home insurance policy can ensure you’re not up a creek without a paddle when it comes to unfortunately common incidents like burglary, fire, or property damage. We’ve got your back, and your home, so give us a call (on Tuesday!) to chit chat about your home insurance policy.

The post 4 Labor Day Quarantine Plans to safely enjoy the Holiday appeared first on SOGO Insurance.

We’ve got the ultimate trip planned out for you. So, what’s the big route? You’ll be taking the “Gruene-Fredericksburg-Bandera Loop” Road Trip.  At 239 miles long, you’ve got a Texas-sized tour of the Texas Hill Country with beautiful sights of farmland, livestock, rivers, ponds, native animals, centuries-old live oaks, and more. 

Start by heading from Northeast San Antonio toward Gruene, Texas from San Antonio via Highway 35 North. Make a pit stop at the Guadalupe River to stick your feet in and cool off in nature’s flowing streams. Feel the warm Texas air blow through the historic trees and snap some selfies of your nature-stop. Once you’ve taken in enough fresh air, hop back in the car and head toward Canyon Lake via Highway 306 for more views of beautiful stretches of clean Texas waters. 

Highway 306 will take you to Highway 281, then head North toward Blanco, Texas. Head to Blanco State Park to check out a quick trail or two, but call ahead to make sure the park is open, as park hours change daily as health information becomes available. 

Get back in the car and pick up lunch (to go, of course) from a local restaurant and feel good about supporting a small business! We recommend getting curbside services from Chess Club Cafe. Stop in Johnson City to fully enjoy your lunch under a shady tree, then head on 290 toward Stonewall. Right before you reach Stonewall, you’ll run into President LBJ’s State Park and Historic Site of his childhood home. Again, call ahead to ensure the park is open, as hours may have changed during the pandemic, but take a moment to walk around the sacred site, and take in the scenery that a former president took in for many years before his term of service. 

Next town down 290: Fredericksburg! Of course, Fredericksburg has so much to do that it’s worth a day-trip of its own, but with temporary closures, you’ll be less likely to tour the whole town as normally planned. However, there’s still plenty to do. Even though COVID-19 has forced businesses to adjust hours, there are several local farms and wineries to visit while staying safe from germs. If nothing else, head inside a winery for a few to-go bottles of Texas-made wine to enjoy once you get back home. 

From Fredericksburg, take Highway 16 toward Kerrville, Bandera, and Pipe Creek. Make a pit stop at any of these small towns for to-go service from a local bakery or vegetable stand so you can support local Texas businesses while gathering some yummy treats on your way home. 

Take Highway 46 back home through Boerne, then catch 281 back to anywhere in San Antonio. You’ve made it to the home stretch, and by this time, you’ve probably got a camera roll full of beautiful Texas sightings, and a heart full of happiness. 

Whatever you do or wherever you go, stay safe, and follow local guidelines on health advisories. While you’re driving around, consider that you could be paying too much for your auto insurance, so check back with your SOGO agent to see if we can find you a better policy that fits your needs.
