    Gonna be spoiled for choice here in Crestview with Little Deli, Desano, Buffalina, Backspace, etc.
  3. Final Boss is still one of the great sports nicknames of all time.

    Heard the same thing from him. Don't go in there as much these days though.

    Man I am so bummed out about EyM. We ate there or got takeout from there weekly for the past few years. Family from Houston and Dallas loved it and asked to go there any time they visited us. It was walking distance from our house in Crestview (couple blocks behind Sunrise Mini Mart). The staff was really good about knowing regulars, and that applied to us. Hell they even knew our toddlers pretty well, pretty much watching them grow up with all our regular visits. Neighborhood won't be the same without them.

  7. Our donation of $250 translates to 2,000 meals -- doubled, that means 4,000 meals. If you can give, it's a great way to meet an immediate need. Our neighbors are hungry. We have to feed them. Here's the link, it's SO easy to donate with just a few clicks: https://www.centraltexasfoodbank.org/ Yesterday, as we went to sleep, my wife reminded me that we'd done a lot of good yesterday. We picked up and delivered several days worth of hot meals to an elderly couple we're friends with. My mother had hit a wall with depression and loneliness. We walked over, and spent an hour visiting with her and my dad (from 20 feet apart, opposite ends of the driveway). We gave to the food bank. I spent much of my day working on some public health policy issues. Her phone rang off the hook -- for some reason, a lot of people hit the wall yesterday, and needed to talk to a pastor. And as we headed to bed, I cried again -- because goddamit, we can't help everyone. We can't. There's only so much we can do. But maybe if we all chip in, and do the things we can do, big and little, maybe we can. SO many people need help. We can't help them all. But maybe WE can. Keep on keeping on, people. Remember to do what you can, for whoever you can, whenever you can. Just donated, thanks.
  8. Two attorneys, two toddlers 4 or younger. We're going on 3+weeks without a break from the kiddo madness or quiet enough to get substantial workday in. I don't know how we're going to do it, other than we have to.
  9. I am a vegetarian (Indian descent), wife is not. Kids are for now (both under the age of four). This thread is inspiring.
  10. I am jonesing for Enchiladas, and EyM is closed. I saw the rec above for Casita Guanajuata. Any other recommendations?
  11. He's a good egg, good job Dad
  12. What's his current thinking on Mike Fiers?
  13. Just started the pilot to do a rewatch. There isn't a better show I can think of to make me forget about the world burning and crack me up.
  14. About a month ago, a family member that is a chef gave me a huge 750mL flask of one month fermented Carolina reaper hot sauce. They occasionally did crazy stuff like that at the restaurant. You only need a couple of drops in anything. And you take coronavirus type precautions around it (wash hands after handling, DON'T touch your face, etc.). It has been a lifesaver.
  15. Sorry to hear that man. Yeah it's tough. We loved the new house, neighborhood, schools, etc. It was considerably bigger than our current place, so would've been better to hunker down in with two toddlers while working from home for the next few weeks. But we were worried about being stuck with two mortgages in this climate where even relatively safe jobs are seeing pay cuts. I hope that we have flattened this curve enough by the summer to have more certainly about things. At that point, assuming our financial situation is similar to what it is now, we'll start house hunting again.
  16. We walked away from a 3.125% 30 year fixed on a new house a few days ago because we were worried our current house wouldn't sell with the new economic reality that was setting in. Still interested in refi on current house, but not sure rates will make sense to for a while...our current mortgage is a 3.625% 30 year fixed (got in Fall 2013).
  17. Wtf is BOB doing?! Nuk going to AZ in that trade?!
  18. Yeah mine are still day care age (2 and 4) so a little bit different. The day care doesn't actually close for spring break. But I am keeping them home today and by the end of the day may decide to just do that for the next few days/weeks. Wife and I are lucky enough to have flexibility to work from home most days. I haven't figured out how it's going to work yet.
  19. Thanks. I have the insurrection report from when we could l bought our current house a few years ago, and it's the same inspector. I have just been looking for a checklist of things I should look at while he goes into the attic, climbs on the roof, etc. Not because I think he'll miss something, but more because it'll give me the feeling of having vetted the house myself too.
  20. Anybody have recommendations on checklists/resources for home inspection? Have one happening this weekend on a house (Austin) we should be under contract on tomorrow morning, and wanted to read up ahead of time and be at the house while the inspector worked.
  21. Sulak losing is a DISASTER. It's central docket. And we are going to his only child's wedding this weekend, man I can't even imagine the whirlwind of emotions they are going through...
  22. Well at least a result is all but guaranteed.
