  1. Bunch of honkys in this mother.

    2:1 water to rice. Liberal amount of Knorr Caldo de tomate stirred into the water and dissolved thoroughly. Mince half a clove of garlic. Brown the rice with just enough canola oil to get the job done and not a drop more while also adding minced garlic. Half an onion sliced into 3rds. One Roma tomato quartered. Two jalapeños sliced longways. Add vegetables in as rice begins to brown. When thoroughly browned, add tomate and water concoction. Bring to a boil, reduce to low roll and then cover for 20 minutes.

    Half a garlic clove is almost like no garlic at all.
  2. Lots to unpack here. I’d say No to energy ogre, they can’t help you right now, and they’re on shaky ground thanks to the elevated prices everywhere…lots of people leaving in droves through no fault of energy ogre. Also some electricity companies don’t like or refuse to work with them, so more limited options. 
     
    I don’t know another site that will let you import to time of use in that manner. 
     
    The lowest cancellation fee strategy is what I was recommending to folks for months. If you can find the constellation 3 year with the 99 dollar cancellation fee I’d grab that. 
     
    Rates are a bit lower than most summer, but they’re not good. That being said, there are differing opinions but I’m not sure the days of 10 cent energy are ever coming back, and if they do I’m also not sure it will be in the medium term. Too much uncertainty right now. 
     
    I’d try to wait a few days and see if any of the REPs lower rates tomorrow or a couple days into Sept. there’s a solid chance we’ll see more REPs lower their rates. I’d you send me a DM tomorrow I’ll poke around and see if anything jumps out on the market, since you need a time of use for the Tesla charging. 
     

    Thanks. The best time of use I’m seeing is a renewal offer from Reliant (who bought out my original provider Infuse). 36 months with a $350 early termination fee. $0.24 before the delivery fee during the day.
  3. Would like to get the electricity wizards input ( ie @sydneycarton ) on this situation.

    I have a time of use plan that is expiring this week. It was $0.16 during the day and free from 8 pm to 6 am. I drive a Tesla so I would use 55-70% of my electricity at night (depending on how much I drive/charge and use big appliances at night) and the effective rate would usually be $0.09 to $0.11.

    The lowest time of use I can find now looks like $0.24 during the day, which still comes out a little ahead of the current $0.17 plans that Texas Power Guide recommends (which doesn’t take time of use into account).

    Texas Power Guide appears to have disabled their time of use tool where you could import your meter data to see plans. Is there another site that does that?

    Should I just find a decently priced regular plan with the shortest term and lowest termination fee?

    Is this a job for Energy Ogre?

    Best Carne Guisada in Houston ?

    Don't know if it's the best but Mi Sombrero on Shepherd has great carne guisada.

    Dirt cheap Mexican in Memorial (unlikely) or Spring Branch? Tia Maria’s is fine, but I’m looking for something new. 
     

     

    La Plaza on Bingle and Long Point.

    "New" Masraff's on I-10 is great. Food was excellent and the service was fantastic. Meatball and Fried Green Tomatoes for appetizers. Both great. I had the short rib, my wife had the red snapper and both were delicious. Creamed Corn and Brussels sprouts for sides. Sticky Toffee pudding for dessert. New location is more modern than the old one on Post Oak. Seafood heavy menu, but something for everyone.

    Agreed. Really enjoyed it.

    Made it to feges.  Solid place.   My lunch at truth is always $25.  This was $20.  Both are like $4.00 too high but relative value to each other, it's at equilibrium.  

    Feges = great service, more convenient for me, slightly lower prices

    Truth = better bbq, corn pudding from the Gods, better tea and soda, more $

    I've been to Feges about 6 times now and would rank it solidly ahead of Pit Room and a bit better than Pinkerton's (which for me has been very inconsistent).
