    Make sure your fridge is free of the odors of other food though, because it'll absorb them.

    Good tip.Ā  Thanks, man.Ā  It'll be in a garage fridge where we mainly store beverages.

  2. Not doing anything particularly adventurous with my turkey this week, except I'm going to try a method in a Thomas Keller recipe that calls for air drying in the fridge after an overnight brine for 24 hours before roasting.Ā  It's supposed to produce a crispier skin.Ā  Anyone ever try that?

    I guess the second Mama Betty's (Burnet Road), which has been opening "next month" for about a year, is actually going to open this week.Ā  I'm not expecting much, but I imagine we'll give it a try.

    Anybody hit up the Burnet Road location yet?Ā  They look to be open full time but don't take reservations, and my wife and I were thinking about going one night this week.Ā  We've never been to the original location in Cedar Park.

    From UT?

    The B.Arch. is one of the toughest undergrads at UT.Ā  It has most of the technical stuffĀ  that engineers take in their first two years (producing a 2/3 attrition rate historically), plus essentially studio art classes where you have to produce drawings, with talent.Ā  Very time-consuming and rigorous.

    Can't speak to other schools.

    But regardless of school, there is licensure.

    Anyway, I could kind of maybe understand confining student loans to those degrees likely to enable repayment, but this doesn't seem to be that.Ā Ā 

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    I assure you, there is nothing that I can't be utterly pessimistic about.

    The decline of good neighborhood tex-mex places?Ā  The costs of car ownership?Ā  The continuing use of kale as an ingredient in restaurant dishes?Ā  I can be a negative nancy about all of that shit.

    Now, the ongoing ubiquity of yoga pants....there ya go, there's my ray-of-sunshine topic.

    In.Ā  Will see y'all there.

    Sorry guys.Ā  Brisket and his wife are going to the game with us, and I tried to spare you all and dissuade him from attending the tailgate.Ā  I'll get him to ease up on discussions of the impending doom of American democracy, and focus more on the impending doom of the Longhorn football program.
