  1. Loro is now open at Montfort and Belt Line Road just east of the Tollway. The smoked salmon dip is a great starter with just the right amount of kick to it. On Sunday and Monday they have smoked baby back Duroc pork ribs. I went home and slapped a picture of my mama that night. The word has not spread too much about it yet so the crowds are not bad. And the SO has her jewelry boutique about 300 yards away on Montfort on the pond. Try it out gents.

    Getting old sucks

    Soooooo.... I have had 64 revolutions around the sun. BUT ... mentally I am about 35 years old. Emotionally, I am about 12 years old. Never broken a bone. No surgeries. One night in the hospital about 12 years ago for diverticulitis. No prescription drugs of any kind in over 10 years. I have had Life Line Screening done on 2 occasions. No blockage to speak of and circulation is great. Am I lucky? Am I blessed? I don't feel like it. The emotional aspect of grief is always lurking beneath the surface and sometimes, it breaks through for all to see. In the meantime, I still have too much to do. I can't imagine living with physical pain that a number of you go through every day. Keep fighting the fight! Your loved ones need you.
  3. If you are really good at something, never do it for free.
  4. You boys have any thoughts about the F1 movie being filmed this year during the circuit? https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10038015-brad-pitt-formula-1-movie-acquired-by-apple-lewis-hamilton-attached-as-producer
  5. You know, if I am head basketball coach at UT, pulling in about $5M annually, I am with someone a hell of a lot more attractive, intelligent and established than Randi Flippin' Trew. If the crazy runs deep in her, you allow her to fuck you a few times and then move on. You don't get engaged to the crazy. And ... I don't want to say that she has a body to die for and a face to protect it .... but ...
  6. A female friend of my son went to Purdont. We all heard reports from her for 4 years. Hudson is in for a rude awakening. The coeds who attend Purdont? You know you are getting close when you hear a "mooing" sound. As for West Lafayette? It makes College Station look like a Garden Spot. West Lafayette population - about 45K. On the other hand, it is about only 110 miles away from Chicago so it's got that working for it. In any event, good luck Hudson and here's hoping you light up the Big 10 this next year.
  7. I can't help but equate the mullet and scraggly lookin' beard to fungus on shower shoes.
  8. Name, etc.
  9. May we all remember love, joy and family during this time of the year. For some people, like me, it is certainly brings mixed emotions. But, gentlemen, embrace your children and spouse. You are loved. http://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2022/12/23/christmas-children-and-love/
  10. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry... you had it SOOOO WRONG here!
  11. From Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "Pirates" "Now open wide sweet Heaven's gates Tonight we're gonna see if Heaven burns Ooh, see how she burns... Oh she burns I want an angel on a gold chain And I'll ride her to the stars It's the last time for a long long time Come the daybreak, we embark..." On the flood of the morning tide Once more the ocean cried "This company will return one day Though we feel your tears it's the price we pay For there's prizes to be taken and glory to be found Cut free the chains make fast your souls We are El Dorado bound... I will take you for always forever together Until hell calls our names..." "Who'll drink a toast with me To the devil and the deep blue sea? Gold drives a man... to dream!"
  12. There are two other possibilities we may need to consider ... 1. That Beard, his wife and/or Mistress are into the S&M, B&D lifestyle. And after trussing up his wife and/or girlfriend like a Thanksgiving turkey, he was restricting their airflow to increase the intensity of their orgasm, or; 2. Maybe... and just work with me here... maybe, a certain male appendage is so HUGE, that during casual sexual play, that appendage was placed in her oral cavity too deeply and aggressively. NAH... He's toast on a stick. I will be the engineer on the "Rush to Judgment" train. He needs to be gone as in ... now.
  13. After all of these years, I still lurvs me this theme. I have this movie on videotape and DVD.
  14. Beef and bean nachos, two Tune Ups, watching Saturday Night Live when the cast still had Akroyd, Belushi, Jane "You Ignorant Slut", Bill Murray. The one on Greenville Avenue here in Dallas. Good memories. Burgers were pretty good too.
  15. ah, the memories. The "Tune-Up." That tall blue drink was all sorts of deliciousness.
  16. Ah yes... the joys of the "Instant Gratification Internet Generation." The Knuckleheads who spout off wisdom like, "Last year, I got my college degree after 7 years in Social Justice Engineering and now I deserve to be your Chief Operating Officer!" and, "My 25 followers on Tik Tok agree that since we did not win a 'Natty' in the first year of our new coach, he should be fired!" Now, get off my lawn.
  17. So, I wanted to recheck the statistics regarding our mentally impaired, brethren in College Station. 59 games in Austin. Texas 45 wins. aggy 13 wins. 1 aggy kissing its sister sheep. 50 games in College Station. Texas 26 wins. aggy 22 wins. 2 aggy kissing its sister sheep. 9 neutral site games (Dallas, Houston, San Antonio). Texas 5 wins. aggy 2 wins. 2 aggy kissing its sister sheep. Total Record . Texas 76 wins. aggy 37 wins. 5 aggy kissing its sister sheep. In short, it doesn't make a difference where we play. aggy inferiority is omnipresent.
  18. Thank you for the advice on the tallow and wrapping at the stall. I did both. I was a mohron and did not take pics. Kept the smoker between 225 and 250. Wrapped when the thermometer hit 150. It hit 200 after about 6 hours, pulled it and let it sit for an hour. Ok smoke ring. Pretty moist. It would not come close to passing the Surlyite Seal of Approval. But, for Yankees and brisket novices, they thought it was pretty damned good. Surly would rate it perhaps a 5. They thought it was a 9. God willing and the creek don't rise, I won't have to try to smoke just a flat ever again.
  19. Looks good! I like mine to not be completely smooth. The different textures adds added flavor and interest.
  20. I have only done whole briskets. This has had most of the fan trimmed off of it, is very lean. With it only being the flat was curious about whether the stall would be the same. As for "cooking the brisket," isn't the correct term of art, "smoking the brisket?" I do appreciate the Surlyite response though.
  21. Este...
  22. Well hell ... So, the resident Yankees from down the street want to do a brisket (as an addition to Turkey) on Thanksgiving. It seems that their family from up north will be here in Dallas. So, to test things out beforehand, they bought two separate, 2 pound flats from Market City. (Yes, I know, I know). She made one, slow cooked it in her crock pot. If you like pot roast, it's passable. Now, I have a small off-set smoker. I'm thinking a simple rub (salt and pepper); Hickory wood. Get temp around 250. Since the thing is so small, I'm thinking of just leaving it on until an internal temp of 195 is hit, pull and then rest for about an hour. Any other suggestions from you gurus?
  23. Just go with the Apple Cider and no OJ. We have some good friends, neighbors who refer to my cranberry sauce as "cranberry crack." Enjoy!
  24. It's the "Coach Potato Bizarro World Curse!" Any program that "Walking Dysfunctionality" touches turns not just to defecation, but whale defecation at the bottom of the ocean. Texas? Hello darkness my old friend. USF? YIKES! Historically bad. U of Miami? They have 45 reasons to marvel at his incompetence as a defensive coordinator. 45. As in the number of points given up each game to Florida State, Duke and ... Middle Tennessee State. As in, in those 3 losses, USF has given up more points than Illinois and Minnesota have given up ... over their 10 game season so far! No, I'm not bitter much about Coach Potato. Where's my Xanax!
  25. So, Sunday October 30 was the 6th commemoration of my daughter being taken after fighting eating disorders for 7 years. I thought... no, I knew that the day would be horrifically bad. But then ... I am so blessed to have a son, and close friends who prop me up on the worst of days. And, I have been given the ability to write somewhat coherently about thoughts and feelings. Even still ... http://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2022/10/31/october-30-2016/
