    TexMex

    I used to work right in that area and went to Cantina Laredo for lunch a few times. I don’t remember it knocking my socks off, but if I lived near it, it’d be good enough to make the rotation. It also helps that I remember their prices being super reasonable.
  2. When I’ve made my weekend Walmart runs I’ve seen the large fans of it so yeah I’d say it’s pretty available if you go at the right time
  3. Put a deposit down on an in transit GMC truck a week and a half ago. Was told delivery would be the 17th, now moved to the 29th so that’s been frustrating. Something I noticed with the spare time I’ve had to wait, though, is that the pricing they gave me is wonky. They took my supplier discount and subtracted that from MSRP for final cost… kinda hard to haggle when they don’t even have any on the lot that I want. But I look online and they’ve got a dealership discount “for everyone”, so their actual listing price starts about $1800 lower than what they gave me the discount on, and is also lower than my price with GM supplier discount. Should I request they put my discount on top of the price they’re marketing online instead of the MSRP? This feels a little dirty to me, like they assumed it wouldn’t do my homework and notice. I’d rather they have just said “we could do the supplier discount but the one we are already advertising is lower anyway”. Fuckin car salesmen. TLDR: Price I was quoted after GM supplier discount added is higher than what they’re advertising online. I’m in the right to bring this up and give ‘em a big WTF, right?
  4. If you want to hear hotel California, just know that they played it first and ton of people were still in drink lines. Regarding Gill, he sang a few of the Glenn Frey songs and honestly I thought his slight country twang made some of them even better. But yeah, enjoy the concert, it was one hell of a show.
  5. I’ve looked at this place before and almost been, looks neat but yeah if it’s mostly patio that’s probably a no go as far as not wanting to show up to dinner soaked through my shirt lol. Bludorn was definitely under consideration, as I’ve been wanting to check it out anyway. How’s parking at Bludorn? Valet? I’m drying out for a while so I’m gonna end up driving and at lest at Hugo’s you can park in the neighborhood around it. Will need to check out this Bar #3 Turning 31, btw, if that helps for suggestions.
  6. I figured this might get more traction in this thread, so here goes: my birthday is in a few weeks and I’ve got a couple friends from New Orleans coming into town for it. They take us to great spots when we visit them so of course I want to return the favor and have a nice birthday meal. I have reservations at Hugo’s since it’s one of my favorites in town, and I figured I could show them Anvil before since it’s so close, but does anyone have any other suggestions that I’m not thinking of? I’m ok with the plan as is but we have kinda settled on several places we like and it might be fun to add something new into the mix.
  7. Obtuse? Unstuff your panties from your vagina and get a grip. I am sorry your kid has dietary needs, honestly that’s gotta be stressful, but it was still shocking to see such a large amount when I’m used to seeing none. No need to be an asshole for the rest of the people whose kids can use regular formula and haven’t seen that much in one setting in months.
  8. Not pictured were two pallets in the middle of the big aisle of cheaper shit in big bottles but we try to stick with the blue similac.
  9. Might’ve already been mentioned, and I fucking loathe Walmart, but I went in on Saturday morning and they had a full on fucking wall of formula.
  10. Almost as beautiful as the Mothers Day Massacre. Holy shit!!!
  11. Vince Gill on take it to the limit was a bit of a religious experience. That was an awesome show, just wish they had saved Hotel Cali for a different spot. Otherwise, damn that was fun.
  12. This is very true. I’ve got a pretty high tolerance for spice, but these aren’t even in the realm of mild.
  13. 1) everything I’ve read says they are 2) I wouldn’t know, I’ve honestly never had to put it in a dishwasher. You could scramble eggs with no butter/olive oil spray/whatever and it will wipe right off with a sponge. The thing is awesome.
  14. A surly favorite, it’s basically the perfect breakfast taco topping. Can be found at most any HEB, and my friends back in Longview tell me Albertsons carries it as well if you aren’t in the HEB footprint.
  15. Gotham steel from Amazon
  16. Felt lazy last night so we did breakfast for dinner. Had some frozen potatoes, an open pack of bacon I needed to finish, and egg. Juan in a million minus the bear claw handshake….
  17. We get it dude, shut the fuck up and go fuck your Colombian girls while getting robbed in the streets and telling how soft we are. Douche bag
  18. They were definitely hesitant at first, but after i mentioned “yeah I’ve had other dealerships say they’ll honor it, they just don’t have anything in the lot so I’d have to order but I’m not in a hurry so that wouldn’t bother me” they changed tune pretty quickly. They said the only one they couldn’t offer it on was the Yukon Denali, which isn’t even what I was buying anyway. It helps if you live in Houston where we have a billion dealerships within 25 miles of my house.
  19. I plan to put about 22K down… that should probably help me get whatever i want, right? I’ve hijacked this thread but I love doing research but when it comes to the actual application of things im a moron.
  20. So i haven’t ever bought new, should I just finance through the dealership, or should I go with my bank/shop around? 800 credit score so I’m probably fine either way, but I don’t want to do 36 month for 0%.
  21. I did find A couple that honored the supplier discount. It helped that I wasn’t in a hurry and mentioned I’d just go build a custom from a dealer that would accept it if not. They quickly said “yeah well we want the business so I’ll make it happen” I will let you know soon… Carvana offered 4-6K more than anything else I’ve tried. I guess they send someone to do a quick check when they pick it up from your house but from what I’ve read online they really don’t. I guess they will pay top dollar because they want to keep the highest inventory. Literally had another buyer say “If they offered you that, I wouldn’t even look anywhere else because you won’t do any better by a long shot”.
  22. Oh fuck me, how did it forget. All time favorite restaurant scene is Mrs. Doubtfire going back and forth between business meeting and family, getting totally hammered and then walking through the kitchen. I do all the cooking in my house and I yell this from the kitchen at least once a week.
  23. The Hook scene, goodfellas prison gravy are both great suggestions. One of my favorites is “Big Night” where they’re making the Timpano dish.
