  1. Had some relatives heading to Austin from Sugar Land, and took like 14 hours or something.
    Had in-laws from Missouri City head towards Rosenberg and get out past Rosenberg and then head towards Austin, and made it here in 5 hours.  But they got held up by northbound traffic for some long periods of time.
    They liked the Rosenberg route, because after sharing notes with other relatives who came straight to Austin/Dallas, they had a shorter travel time, and they had a lot of little towns they came across frequently, which meant gas stations, food, etc. fairly close by. Other relatives heading straight for Dallas or Austin found themselves parked or crawling with no little towns or anything in sight, or when they did come across something, completely sold out.

    Depends on timing. We left the Heights for SA during Rita at about 2 am and the mass exodus on 10 had already began. Took the detour through Richmond and Rosenberg and it still took 16 hours to SA.

    there's one reason to stop there, the sausage 

    Yeah, got two links and it was borderline inedible. Like I said, it was mushy and undercooked. 

  4. Went to City Market in Luling on Tuesday on the way back from SA to Houston. It wasn’t Smitty’s bad but not far away. Brisket was bland and half of it was cut with the grain (no pink polo), sausage was mushy and seemed to be undercooked. Pork ribs were decent taste wise but cut really badly. Maybe Stevie Wonder is cutting their meat. My last trip to Rudy’s was way better.

  5. couldn't you accomplish all of this with some liquid smoke and an easy bake oven?



    I was planning on smoking a 12 pound brisket on Saturday but I had a last minute recording session and had to leave town, my wife messed up the recipe but it turned out great, here is what happened:

    I brined the 12 pound brisket starting Friday night then left town.
    My wife on Saturday night forgot what I told her and took the brisket out of the brine and rinsed it, she then rubbed it with a mixture of ground chipotle pepper, black pepper, chili powder, sugar, $#@!in and cilantro, she then cut it in two (donâ€t ask why) and put each piece in a large freezer bag, put half a bottle of liquid smoke in each bag and put them back in the fridge, on Sunday night she put both pieces into a large metal turkey roasting pan then covered them with a mixture of Stubbs and cattlemanâ€s BBQ sauce, she cooked it at 225 for 5 hours. I was pissed with I got home and while I was yelling about her screwing up my brisket she shoves a piece of the brisket in my mouth, I almost popped a boner, it was the best $#@!ing brisket I have ever tasted outside of a restaurant. My wife is giving me the biggest $#@! eating grin along with a told you so look.

  6. for future use, i refer to this as “listing at”. it’s a verb. like, “hey, please don’t list at me.”

    My phrase is “throwing the thesaurus.” He please don’t throw your thesaurus at me.

  7. ^

    That must have been made before Johnny Carrabba opened Grace's and Mia's Table. 

    Speaking of, not earth shattering but the Memorial City Mia's Table and Torchy's are about to open. The Kirby Ice House next to them had opened and then had to close. 

  8. i got some bread man sour dough and made a grilled cheese.  was the tites.

    Yeah Breadman wasn’t some Covid Underbelly chicken tenders bullshit. He had a contract with them before all of this. I will say I wish they still carried the prepared Kiran’s stuff. It was really good.

    This is correct and there really isn’t an increased liability if we are using a drug off label with good standard of care and informed patient consent.  The insurance company doesn’t care either unless it’s an expensive branded drug which the chloroquines are not. At least not now, and if you can get it.

    There's potentially False Claims Act liability if Medicare, Medicaid etc. is footing the bill.

    Welp, looks like ICU staff at Hermann Memorial City have been told that they will have to quarantine and not go home until the epidemic clears up. The hotels in Memorial City dont want them staying there, so they are going to sleep in cots in the mall

     

    jfc we’ve dropped the ball on this fucking thing

    Where did you hear this?

    Can somebody explain how a virus infection works generally? Like, let’s say that somebody how is contagious coughs on you and passes the virus to you. That’s day zero. Then what, the virus starts multiplying inside of you? How many days until you become contagious yourself? Does becoming contagious coincide with feeling symptoms, or are those two separate things? What happens when you recover? Is your body killing the virus? Do you have no virus left alive in your body after you recovered, or you still have it but are immune to it?

    gotdammit the discussion of takeout is killing me...i haven't mentioned it yet, but my house is under construction. like, we started a major remodel, including kitchen, living, master bed/bath, literally last monday. i can't cook, wash dishes, etc. we are 'living' in a guest bed/bathroom.

    if we get one of those 'shelter in place' orders...my god we are so fucked. 

    i've been doing fine, telling myself it will be fine. ..but this morning i had a meltdown. i'm not far from a serious freak out. there's nothing i can do about it. i mean, i don't even know WHAT to do. last monday seems like an eternity.

    Get an induction burner or two.
