  1. Daughter is away at college and has had a persistent cough for about 6 weeks. It doesn't affect her energy level. She says she can still workout and stay on top of her classes and homework just fine. She finally went to the university health center last week, and they think it's viral bronchitis that she just needs to work through, though they asked her to come back in a week if it hasn't gotten any better. They didn't test for anything. My eighth-grader had something similar over winter break, mainly a nagging cough that lasted at least a month before it was finally gone, but like his sister, didn't affect his energy. His doctor did test him for pneumonia and strep, and it came back negative, and they thought it was just a virus. Anyone have similar experience recently?
  2. Clearly you've never been in the narcotics marketing and sales industry, where you face significant payment pressures up the supply chain.
  3. Maybe Abbott should commit a crime to raise his profile and get more votes. Something heinous, like parking in a non-handicapped space.
  4. Yeah, my wife asked me to get some more starter logs from HEB yesterday, and I decided not to as my way of willing us past our winter weather.
  5. Well, he is a mean cook.
  6. I love JFK, even acknowledging that Oliver Stone is lucky if 35% of his script is factually accurate. What is true about the movie, regardless of whether Oswald really acted alone, is that JFK's assassination was the beginning of the erosion of our country's trust in the government, and what the American people know and see about our government is very different than reality. Plus one of Kevin Bacon's best lines ever: "You don't know shit 'cause you've never been fucked in the ass!"
  7. So catching up on the Ukraine War thread, it appears that Ana and Inka are this close to having some serious emotionally-charged sex with each other.
  8. I'm shocked that Donald Trump, Sr. didn't get 100%.
  9. Leftovers slammed.
  10. It’s based on an Epicurious recipe with some variations, and since I have a subscription I can’t post a link, so here it is. Simmer a 4.25 lb bone in pork shoulder in 10 cups of water with 20 cloves of garlic, one bunch mint and one bunch cilantro both tied, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp salt, and one white onion quartered for at least 2 hours. When pork shoulder is done, transfer to a cutting board, and strain broth into a bowl or small pot. Discard mint and cilantro. Put cooked garlic and onion into a blender, with 1.5 cups of the broth, and puree, put puree back into the pot with the rest of the broth and pork cut into bite-sized pieces. Make a chili paste from 8-10 Anaheim chiles and 3-4 ancho chiles reconstituted in 2.5 cups of simmering water until softened. Put chiles in a blender, with 6 cloves of garlic, one whole clove, and 3/4 tsp of salt, and puree. Heat 2 tbs of canola oil in a cast iron skillet, and once shimmering add chile mix (it will splatter, so wear an apron and be prepared for some cleanup) and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then pour chile mix into pot. Add about 30 oz of drained and rinsed hominy and simmer for at least 5 minutes or longer if you want to reduce to a thicker mixture. You can sit on the stove on low to medium low until ready for dinner. Serve with what you like. Traditional fixins include chopped white onion, queso fresco, cilantro, avocado, tortilla strips, sliced radish, and red pepper flakes. Never made pozole before, and wife and kids loved it.
  11. If Elon fires Joe Armstrong and Curtis Jackson, and he signs his own death warrant.
  12. I was in Breaux Bridge many years ago and witnessed my Cajun friend’s mom make gumbo with jarred roux. I was mildly shocked, but didn’t say anything, and the gumbo was fantastic.
  13. This is what you get for missing two kicks against Georgia.
  14. “So here comes Bill a-walkin' down Nine Mile- that's Bill Parker, y'understand-got his sandwich in one hand, the fuckin' head in the other ..”
  15. It was extremely disappointing to learn he’s not a hot woman in an LSU bikini.
  16. Vic Schaefer would like to have a word with you.
