HEB needs a little quality control on their in-house tortilla chips. I bought a bag a while back and it was WAY under-seasoned. I went back to my regular brands (Santitas, etc.). This week my wife picked up another bag of the in-house chips, and they were saltier than seawater. Nearly inedible. I powered through, because queso.
Oh yeah, if I hear one more old fart my age saying "I just don't find modern music compelling" I'm going to pull what's left of my hair out (and I still have a shit ton for my age). What a lazy, lazy take. What you really mean is "I just want to listen to 38 Special and Def Leppard". (Unrelated to this thread.) Sorry for the minor threadjack.
I don't think I have a problem with inorganic ways of discovering new music. Maybe that jump will start a whole new organic tendril of music for @ztejas . As an aside, regarding the Phoebe Bridgers song, dang but if KEXP doesn't get some great live sounds.
So if this is true, how is Chuck Redd causing $1M of damage by canceling the concert? Sounds like they weren't gonna make any money anyway. Art of the lawsuit. "Nevertheless, it is worth noting that attendance for your Jazz Jam had been lagging considerably behind ourother Christmas and holiday offerings, which have drawn strong crowds and enthusiastic response."
Violent Femmes wrote several great songs htat resonated with millions of people and they sucked as players. I will never mistake chops for creativity. I couldn't care less if someone thinks The Killers are a far better band than Foo Fighters. I don't get that perspective one bit, but hey, I hate Jethro Tull and The Doors even more. It's just music. Listen to what you like. There is no Super Bowl.
I didn't have a brother. My friends who had big brothers were subject to endless torture that played on their faults, their immaturity, their goofyness. This torture ranged from titty twisters and swirlies to dropping a loogie on their face, failing to pick them up from school when it was raining or broadcasting their crushes to the entire student body.
I like to think of this thread as a manifestation of my lack of a little brother, and I will gleefully pile on at their endless failures in engaging reality. It is the most predictable thing in the world, like the flu in winter or taxes in April. I've been watching these twits fail EVEN WHEN THEY BEAT US for over 40 years. It is one of the great joys in my life.
Just the other day I was wondering how much "free" services (pickup/delivery) were helping inflate prices. Take groceries: I guess there is some reduction in in-store employee headcount if more people are shopping "remotely", but I'm pretty sure net employment is up, and we're paying for it in the sticker prices of food, etc. I have no idea how that effect might compare to supply chain issues, etc.
Looks like some wire-haired fox terrier in there. I had one for probably 15 years after I got out of college. Agnes of Dog. SUPER smart and a giant pain in my ass. Loved her.
I don't care about basketball nearly so much as I care about rock 'n roll, and that right there is a master fucking class. It's one of my go-to videos when someone asks something stupid like "what does a great frontman really mean?" or "what exactly does it mean to be a rippin' live band that isn't exactly tight as a duck's ass?".
How's our men's basketball team doing?
I'd keep them separate just because of the radically different heat levels. Step your way into the amount of chipotle and (especially) cayenne and take notes on the final blend. After that, I see no reason not to make your own personal pepper blend, but those heat levels can vary from plant to plant and even pepper to pepper.
I have never seen any rationale for staging the addition of peppers throughout the cook (like cumin as you alluded).
