  1. A buddy sent me this picture but apparently central market in Austin put it on the shelves a week early.
  2. http://www.bijanmustardson.com/
  3. Austin has by far the worst tex mex of any of the large cities in Texas but keep doing you I guess.
  4. Puerto Rican pork and beans on cilantro rice. This is definitely one of the best things I’ve made recently. Something so easy shouldn’t be so good.
  5. Well this dude was also just wrong about Hall, so…?
  6. Mine is about 11 months now and we’ve put it on for a while now if we need to keep him occupied for a few minutes, even if he doesn’t really follow. If he’s fussy, the first move is “Alexa., play Bluey theme song.” Immediate smile and clapping ensues.
  7. It’s rained more at my house in oak forest in the last 2 days than the previous 2+ months. Currently:
  8. Just chiming in to tell you you’re cheating yourself and whoever else is eating it out of an actual good gumbo. That stuff may be Cajun certified, but I was tasked with making a gumbo last Christmas for my in-laws in Lafayette, and i showed my FIL how easy it was to make roux (he always just used to jarred stuff… he’s not much of a cook) and he swore off the premade roux after seeing how easy it was and how much better it tastes. Also, the best smell in the world is trinity vegetables meeting a hot roux.
  9. That looks like an exceptionally well seasoned cast iron.
  10. Could someone explain the significance of this?
  11. Didn’t feel like bacon breakfast tacos this morning, and remembered I had some kielbasa in the fridge, so I thew it down with some leftover black beans and some Monterey Jack cheese. Topped liberally with El Gallo jalapeño. Strong to quite strong.
  12. I was inspired by Trudy’s tonight. All I need is a couple Mexi-marts and I’m freakin set. Fried avocado FTW.
  13. Just grin and bear it. We did one of those sleep courses (Taking Cara Babies) that was pretty helpful for helping us develop a routine and some general tips and stuff, but YMMV. The sleep regressions we went through usually only lasted a few nights at most, but it sucks when they come around. We found that a hand on his chest for 10 min or so would sometimes be all it took to get him back to sleep, but if that didn’t work we’d just rock him back to sleep. He may just need a little milk to get him back. Those first 2.5-3 months seem like a blur, though, so good luck.
  14. Hey Mikey’s in Galveston… I knew it started with an H.
  15. What’s that place down in Galveston? Henry’s or something? Might just be cus it’s always hot as hell when I get it but I love that stuff. Fat Cat in Houston is also pretty damn good
  16. Smoked cheeseburgers with havarti, sautéed onions, smoked jalapeño and a nice schmear of Dijon and Mayo. Smoked burgers are a little bit of a game changer
  17. I’m trying to find a good way to engrave chef’s knife for my dad’s upcoming 70th/retirement. Anyone ever done something like this? I’d like to engrave a phrase, rather than just initials, and would like it to not just be some lame basic font. Anyone know of a way to do this? I seem to be striking out on google so far but maybe this idea just ain’t it.
  18. What temp are you running to get 60-90 min? I ask because everything i see online references more like 30-45 min/lb at 275, but the last time I had this at a buddy’s house, they were done right after about an hour and he swears he cooks between 275-300. It’s got me all twisted up like a pretzel.
  19. Haven’t seen a single key lime pie this summer at bunker hill or heights HEB in Houston. If they aren’t at those two, I doubt they’re anywhere.
  20. I’ve got a couple chickens I plan to smoke tomorrow for lunch, beer can chicken style. Roughly how long should one plan to smoke for a ~6lb chicken?
  21. Username checks out
  22. We had a blowout 5 min before we landed and got baby shit on my shorts so that was cool. Otherwise, that was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
  23. Really hoping this first flight goes well with my 9 month old. The boy is ready.
