    This one is odd. The Willett funk is there but it’s mild. I hate the Willett funk, but this is pretty crushable. I probably won’t revisit given the price tag, but I’m glad I tried it.

    i have that one too and paid a pretty penny for it.  its not the purple tops the distillery has but its as close as you're going to find on the shelf.

    Sue is getting taken to final tribal council because everyone thinks they can beat her, but she doesn't realize that.  She would be a nightmare on the jury because she will hate everyone if she gets voted out.

    thats the way it should be.  you should hate everyone.  they probably all lied to you.

  3. why did rachel play her steal a vote?  did she have to before it got down to 5?  it was wasted.  whether the vote was 4-2 rachel or 3-2 rachel makes no difference because no votes counted for rachel.  and didnt teeny tell them about her idol?  weird that nobody knew.   the winner of the last immunity challenge is the going to be in the catbirds seat.  could be any of the three (sue and teeny might as well pack their bags).  in fact i would say rachel has the least chance of winning immunity between her, sam, and genevieve.  has been a great season though.

  4. as said before the premise of this season is stupid.  trying to make an army pilot into a lionness and then ask her to turn on her own family and infiltrate was stupid.  Where we are now in the story proves it was pointless as its been completely abandoned.  sending a cia special ops team to intercept a human smuggling operation on the border was stupid.   sending a cia special ops team into iran/turkey/iraq/wherever the fuck they were to intercept two chinese nuclear scientists was stupid.  should have just sent an airstrike to begin with, which is what they ended up doing.  i believe they need to hire an extra (or better) military adviser for next season.  Still, those complaints aside, great show.  i could do with less drama from jo and her family.  the husband seems like a weak cuckold and its hard to watch.

    Glad you asked. Honestly, I love the very greasy handmade spicy pork tamales from Alamo on Berry in Houston. We usually make a pilgrimage every holiday season for a few dozen. This year though, everyone has been throwing tamales at me so I may not get them this year. 

    The Delicious brand from San Antonio were brought to me by my abuela neighbor when she came back from Thanksgiving with her family. They're the smallest, not the least bit greasy, but are still very moist and absolutely "Delicious".

    The Telelopan ones are huuuuge but mostly masa. They're tasty but the ratio is off. 

    The Mi Tenda ones are a staple if you can find HEB open, but not nearly as good as Alamo.

     

    i loved delicious too.  they had a bandera location that was close to me when i lived there.  lived in austin, houston, and san antonio and san antonio had the best tamales of the three. rubens maybe? there was another one east side of town. abuelas is another name i vaguely recall, but i moved from there in 2011.    i hate places/people that slather on too much masa on the corn husk so theres not enough filling.  its all about the filling.  the corn taste from the masa should be an accent.

    The orange salsa came from Telelopan. The frijoles were made with the T’giving ham bone. 

    I’m so full. 

    which tamale won the taste test?

    Yeah, she only has two reactions….. yell and rant, or cry.

    i kind of understand her emotions this season. new lioness was forced on her and her participation forced on them.  dea guy forced on her and is a complete fuckup with everything he says and touches.

    the premise of both seasons is a little sketchy, last was a little more probable.  this one almost laughable - fake a daughters dishonorable discharge and send her home to daddy like she's going to go from badass army pilot to living in her parents basement.  like he's going to fall for that.  he already seems skeptical.  turning him seems more likely than spying on him and killing him, so it just got a little more believable than the first few episodes where they expected her to participate in the incarceration or murder of her family.

  8. went to tejas two weeks ago and la last week, both outstanding.  tejas was every bit as good as franklin - brisket, burnt ends, chile relleno sausage, pork ribs, turkey, beans, potato salad, carrot soufflé.  the beans and carrot souffle were the only things that didnt jump out as excellent.   la's brisket was as good as you will find anywhere.  sausage was dry and crumbly and subpar.  mac and cheese was one of the best bbq sides ive had in years.

    Damn them for getting rid of the best eye candy.

    Rooting for Kyle to win the whole thing.

    kyle seems like a good dude, so would love this, but nice guys dont usually win this.  kind of reminds me of hunter from last season.   i'm betting on genevieve although she might be strategizing a little too hard.  maybe take a backseat and let someone else orchestrate the next few votes.

    Solid episode.  Rachel is on a hot streak right now.  Sol saves her, cheeseburger in the auction and gets an immunity idol to boot.  Nice work, girl keep it up. 

    she came very close to winning immunity in the challenge too. still too much of a target on her back though.  for some reason they others seemed to be threatened by them. 

  11. took out one of the major players last night.  their other choices were excellent also - sam or the rachel.   andy is one of the most interesting players in a while.  not sure what to make of him.  he was so in his own head he walked by 10-20 bamboo tubes without seeing them.  to be aware enough to know he was being used by sierra and sam was wise though.

    So I somehow thought this was a 10 ep season since S1 was planned for that until bridges got sick.  I thought last week was the episode cliffhanger not season.  I hope it doesn’t turn into the series finale.  
     

    s3 not confirmed.  They need to hurry as the leads are getting old and sick.

    if there is a season 3 sounds like emily/angela/parwan will be the main character.  as she said, "i'm in charge now".   sad to see bridges, lithgow, and brennanan get reduced, but hopefully lithgow's ex still plays a big role.

  13. whatever happened to black maple hill.  10 years or so ago i had a bottle and thought it was excellent.  then i heard they changed their sourcing and it went downhill.  now i never see it or hear anyone talking about it whatsoever.
