    Not sure if I missed it n the website, but I drove over to Taylor only to find Mueller’s closed to curbside orders.  I did grab a case of Live Oak Hefeweizen at the HEB though.  I already knew I couldn’t eat 3# of Franklin cue( minimum order) so I headed to City Market in Luling.  I have been there twice before and this time they had no brisket(4pm.). I order a pound of ribs and 2 rings of sausage.   

    I get to my hotel and open the bag and there’s like 2# of ribs, 11 of them.  The sausage is everything I miss about Cen-tex sausage that seems to be impossible to duplicate elsewhere.

     

    So freaking good.  I’m almost glad they were sold out on brisket. The Live Oak is great too.

     

    Tomorrow, I will hit Coopers as some of y’all suggested, on the return trip to the Golden Spread.

    I live 50 miles from Llano, and keep giving Cooper’s another chance, but somehow they continue to disappoint me;  pork chops are good, if you’re planning on taking a bunch of food home, and the beans are good.   YMMV.  Please post a review........

  2. My father taught at West Texas State U from the mid-60’s to the mid-70’S.  We saw every home game that Duane Thomas and Mercury Morris played in, sometimes from the sidelines, depending on how Dad was getting along with Joe Kerbel.  Duane was a tremendous back, instincts, speed, and power equal to Dickerson or probably Simpson, maybe edging into Earl territory.  Morris, though, was unbelievable.  Fastest player I’ve ever seen in cleats and pads, including J”Lam”J, Dorsett’s 99 yard touchdown, and Deion’s closing speed on receivers.  And Mercury drove a new white Corvette w/red interior every year-I worked part-time at the gas station where he had his “charge account.”

    I think HEB has something in the same vein I read on here or shaggy years ago if you're in HEB land. I'm in Seattle so I don't know if it's similar. 

    Basically it's this.

    3 Avocados

    1 cup mayo

    1/2 cup water

    2 serranos

    half an average size cilantro bunch

    1 green onion

    1/4 cup pickled jalapenos

    1 tbsp pickled jalapeno jar juice

    salt, pepper, garlic powder (plenty!), onion powder (less than GP unless no green onion)

    Juice 2 key limes or 1 reg lime

    blend it, taste it, adjust as you want. Rough ratio's above, it's very easy to adjust after tasting. less serrano for kids, etc. 

     

    Copied it from a line cook at a restaurant I worked at in Tucson AZ years ago in college. Call it Andy Salsa, he's a gangster. 

     

    Great, thanks!  Might make a tuna melt edible

    I’m impressed with the grilled cheese, but what is “spicy avo sauce?”  I need to know more about this.....

    In my opinion six to nine months. The social distancing will slow the spread for a few weeks, but then businesses and govt will have to reopen. At that point people will be back out again and the virus will re-ignite until everyone has been touched.

    Or, hot weather slows it done, things seem to get back to normal in 3 months, but then goes haywire again in November.

    We have to hope they fast track a vaccine to be ready to go ASAP. They would be dumb not to. Sounds like a few are already going into human trials. Even if the vaccine is 90% effective, that is better than we are now.

    I kinda hate to mention this, but do you realize that our flu vaccines are only about 40-45% effective in good years?  The Coronavirus has already shown rapid mutability; 90% effectiveness may be a dream.  Got my fingers crossed, though!

    I didn't mean to discount the role of trauma in depression.

    Nonetheless, many laypeople try to tie significant depression to some specific thing as in "Snead was bummed out about not getting to start at Texas," ergo he's depressed.  It's generally more complex than that, as indicated.

    I think most decent psychs, as in UDontknow, would not do medication therapy without some cognitive/talk therapy and most decent therapists are probably going to recommend a visit with a psych once the problem is diagnosed.

    Absolutely; however, what I see in my end of care (pharmacy, but only for a little while-) is that patients get antidepressants thrown at them with little follow up and no recommendation at all for counseling, psychologist time, etc.  mediocre outcomes and a therapeutic disaster, IMO.

  7. No problem at all with the various stated studies—just saying, moderation in all things.  I don’t do soy milk (rice instead) or opt for soy burgers; there’s plenty of soy, like hidden sugars, in foods we don’t really examine closely.  It’s just not really a historical human food, and as (still, dammit) a practicing pharmacist, i deal with literally 100+ patients with clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism monthly; soy intake is just one more risk factor it’s easy to avoid in my already risk-filled life.  Also, i recommend soy isoflavones all the time for menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms  with good results, so I know it’s hitting the estrogen receptors.  YMMV

    Go easy on the soy based meat replacements unless you really don't mind a high estrogen diet.  

    Yes, soy isoflavones are mild stimulators of estrogen receptors; also, some studies show a higher incidence of thyroid problems in those on high soy diets.  I avoid the stuff as much as possible.

    For the last fucking time, we dont need fucking recruiters. Texas recruits itself. We are all but assured a top 10-15 class every year, regardless of results. 

     

    what we need are coaches that can fucking develop talent

  10. Dear football gods: please, please make this be true!  He could be the NCAA compliance consultant/assistant without that pesky degree!  Hell, title him the Minister of Culture-we and MM don’t care.  The new face of aggy football-woop!

    *aggy.  You need to get it right, too.

    Couldn’t figure out how to get the damned iPad to start the sentence with lower case; I promise to do better!  I know, perhaps a phrasing problem.....
