    Well. I would just disagree with that. Some in San Antonio won't go to Mi Tierra because they think it is too touristy. Sure. there are always lots of tourists there and the prices are touristy but I have always believed that Mi  Tierra offers some of the best mexican food in San Antonio. 

    agreed.  is mi tierra great for out of towners?  hell yeah.   just like the riverwalk is, but its still badass for locals.  a feather in our cap.  i'm not a local anymore, but lived there for 11 yrs.

  2. ya'll are more confident than i, which makes me feel better.  however, i urge caution.  we cannot overlook them because we cannot afford another loss.  every team left on the schedule is capable of beating us, including the cougs.  they remind me of cu - all heart and no talent.

    I’m legitimately curious why it’s universally viewed as outside the chili realm. The bacon? The ribeye? The celery? It’s, meat, onions, peppers, tomato purée, chili powder, and cumin at its bones..

    Look at the color of your picture compared to anastasis'.   see what's missing?  it's the red.  i dont mind the bell peppers, but the celery and bacon were a tad off.  mainly it was inssufficient chili powder, imho.

    They’ve inserted so much luck into the game that things like this don’t really matter as much as it used to, but Kaleb seems like one of the best players they’ve had in a long time.

    not sure why you think this.  he was toast until emily saved him.  and completely clueless and naive about it.

    CSB, I almost moved to SF for at least 16 months for my wife's clinical rotations. I was very much looking forward to wandering around the mountains and skiing while she was preoccupied with school. At the last minute, they decided they no longer wanted Greenspoint-style nursing students. We were instead sent to beautiful Decatur, Texas, where some friendly neighbors wrote racist shit on our cars and drextras.

    So I can't speak much to NM (10,000 waves was still there and still awesome in 2019), but I would advise avoiding the Fort Worth exurbs.

    10,000 waves is gone?  fuck me.

    Ok.  Still, for me, it’s just as easy to throw in a half teaspoon of sugar in an OF glass and mix it with the bitters and a splash of water until it’s well blended. I’d have to experiment with unheated SS to get the sweetness just right for my taste.  

    i stand strongly against overly sweet also.   anytime a recipe calls for simple syrup i used hummingbird food.  its 1:4 sugar:water ratio as opposed to the 1:1 of simple syrup.  plus i already have a tupperware container constantly made up in my fridge anyway.

    On the smoked OFs, I’ve tried them a few times and I’m not a fan.  Maybe they weren’t done well, but they all tasted like my OF was poured into a half full ashtray and then served.  

    i'm with you on that.  i find the smoke to be distracting, like it's become more about the smoke than what used to be a cocktail.  not to mention the fact it's probably carcinogenic.   i bought a bottle of balcones post oak once and it tasted like my shirt smells the next day after sitting around a campfire all night the night before.  nasty.   i had to give the bottle away.

  8. i've started making my old fashioneds with armagnac.  they are much better, imo, than bourbon or rye ones.  brandy old fashioneds are a thing, but all i had at home was armagnac so thats what i'm doing.  elijah craig makes an old fashioned syrup, i use about a teaspoon of that.  i buy the copper king cherries, and use about a teaspoon of that juice (along with a couple of cherries), 3-4 dashes of orange bitters, and most of the time i like to add about a teaspoon of a liqueur called clement creole shrub.  it's got an orange flavor to it.

    SIAP. Any fans here of the smoked OF?  I’ve had a few with different woods, prefer cherry. 

    i believe whiskeycake has one on their menu.  best one i ever had was at a restaurant in houston called poutine that since closed.  went there several times - great food, great cocktails, great view of the skyline from their patio.

    Just finished the 1st episode.  I agree on both counts.  Brandon=pitiful.  Emily=nails on a chalkboard.  Be sure to flip the raft over until the bubbles stop. 

    i can tolerate emily for weeks longer than i can tolerate the astrology chick.  i am used to people with emily's thought process and can deal with it.  stupid people i cant abide.

  11. at least theres not as much, or as many, blatantly gay contestants this season.  it seems like the producers have erred and been too obvious about it the past few years.

    i dont get the quitting, the after one day saying i miss by bed.  one day.  we can do hard things, like carry around a bamboo branch.   and brandon?  did the dude do one pushup in all the time he had since he knew he was going to be competing?  did he do any prep whatsoever?  jog a little maybe? utter failure.  i dont actually mind emily too much.  she's not really all that negative to me, she's just got no filter and says every honest thought in her head.  not very strategic.  she should have bit her tongue after bruce's speech.  no need to draw attention to yourself like that, especially right off the bat.  pick your battles.  but when the whole entire tribe thinks the pyramids were built by aliens, she just looked at them dumbfounded like i'm surrounded by idiots, and she was right.  

    hate to see hannah go.  always a looker that seems to go first.

  12. we just cant defend.  in the last two games we are getting our butts kicked in time of possession and also field of possession.  it seemed like tech and byu were constantly on our side of the field.  i know the score was close, and thats great, but it would be nice, and improve our odds of winning, if we were the ones pressing.

    You always respected Holgersen? He’s kind of a sleazy drunkard. I mean I guess he fits in here but he’s an ass’s ass. Primo dickface.

    so was leach, bryles, gundy, riley, kingsbury, tressell, saban, meyer, and on and on.  most headcoaches are assholes.  what's that got to do with it?   i'm just saying he has a great football mind and any team would be improved if they had him in the booth.

    Did some searching,  thought the event may have been free - wrong !    Scotty Mcreery concert after.    Regardless, great even for WVB.  Good article below.

     

    Tickets to the outdoor match will not be part of the Nebraska volleyball season-ticket package and must be purchased separately. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, April 26. A ticket will gain entrance to both volleyball matches and the concert. Tickets will be $25 for adults and $5 for high school age and under

    not sure if the real truth has come out yet.  no way they got 92k there selling tickets.  still, a great night for volleyball and womens sports.  i predict we have a game in dkr within the next three years.

  15. i always liked uh.  they were like smu to me, but opposites.  one classed the placed up, the other slummed the place down.  uh is supercompetive and all sports - excellent baseball and basketball history, and pretty illustrious football history - first team to integrate, air raid, art bryles, tom herman, bill yeoman, jack pardee, john jenkins, major applewhite, klingler, keenum, ware.   notice how all those names are offense.   nor much known for a running attack.  uh threw the ball and scored a shit ton. 

    i actually always liked and respected holgersen.  he's from the same school of offensive minds but he hasnt done well there, and not sure why he even left wv for uh.  what kind of move is that?  seemed odd then, and still does.  he doesnt seem popular with the players either.  that seems to be his problem.  he needs to not be a head coach, and be up in the booth calling plays.

    I can't think of anything worse that I kept watching for 8 hours.

    i can think of lots, but yes this started out with promise and fizzled out quickly.   i agree with the poster there that pointed out raylen had no function, no effect on the outcome, there was no point of him being in the show.  there was some shit going down in detroit, and raylan was just walking around the city in a cowboy puzzled by it all.

    Managed to snag a bottle of Hancock's Reserve yesterday at TW with $35 knocked off the price (which admittedly was over MSRP as it was) because of a snafu relating to some wine I had ordered.  Looking forward to trying it.

    nice

    The size of your enormous dong is palpable through the screen. Please teach the rest of us to be an alpha like you when we grow up.

    you mean to not complain about the heat?  your mom should have taught you that.
