  1. Yeah. That was something new for me but makes a lot of sense for cooking for a large party. The hush puppy had onions and jalapeños in the cornmeal and best I could tell were formed with something akin to a pastry icing bag. Okie engineering.
  2. Mmmmmmm. Fried catfish. Not the best I’ve ever had nor the finest presentation or accoutrements but the Friday special of fried catfish and fried okra at a tiny cafe in downtown Bixby, OK hit the spot today (all for a whopping $9.50): My fat ass will return here…
  3. That sucks. I used to hit that place up when I was out in Lakeway/620. RIP Frito Bandito:
  4. My buddies in Encinitas have been killing the yellowtail lately. Some big tuna offshore as well.
  5. Do a Google search for “frozen roasted green chiles” and there will be dozens of sites in New Mexico that can ship next day or 2-day air. Here’s one out of Roswell where there’s quite a bit of chile grown and the prices aren’t too outrageous. I haven’t ordered from any, so no past experience to offer: https://gravesfarm.com/product/frozen-green-chile/
  6. Thanks for the link. I heard about his passing tonight. I listened to Eklektikos regularly over a period of several years when my kids were young and I helped my wife get the day going before driving to the office. He was original Austin for sure and I was always amazed at his breadth of knowledge about all types of music. RIP John.
  7. Damn it. Just saw this news.! RIP damn good enchiladas sampler plate.
  8. As mentioned up thread - True Grit by Charles Portis. Gone to Texas by Forrest Carter (book that Outlaw Jose Wales is based on). Both are fantastic.
  9. We were throwing a Letort hopper style fly that I tied for the cutts in the lake. Rio Grande Kings and Sparkle Duns on the small streams. Size 14-18. I highly recommend making the trip someday. It’s quite an undertaking to get to the lakes where they reside. I’ve learned quite a bit about the Rio Grande Cutthroats from Chris at Living Waters in Round Rock when we lived in Austin. He has a film they’ve put together that’s on their website and he had a seminar before Covid with the biologist from Colorado Parks & Wildlife. Colorado Parks & Wildlife put out a lot of information about their restoration efforts (Rio Grande Cutts occupy less than 10% of their historic range due to non-native rainbows cross breeding and browns and brookies which out compete the natives Rios): https://cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/ResearchRioGrandeCutthroatTrout.aspx https://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/Research/Aquatic/CutthroatTrout/TU_RGCT_broch-final.pdf We just got to fish Sunday evening and Monday. Unfortunately didn’t have more time as I had several projects I needed to return to work on. I could spend all summer up there.
  10. Fishing trip with my son after picking him up in camp. Rio Grande cutthroats caught last Sunday evening at an extremely isolated lake in southern Colorado. Also, some brookies and browns from a little blue line on the Colorado/New Mexico border. One last RGCT. Their colors are stunning.
  11. Correct. Baking powder.
  12. Last Christmas we were preparing to visit the in-laws in Dallas and I was looking around for things to do to get out of the house. One of my old Dallas haunts was a place over by White Rock Lake on Garland Road called Barbec’s. Overall, their food was pretty meh but their most popular item was their beer biscuits, which people came in and picked up by the dozen. Unfortunately, I learned that they closed for good during the pandemic. I doubly mourned the loss of their delicious biscuits and a good excuse to get out of in-laws house for a short while. As luck would have it, I found the recipe for Barbec’s Beer Biscuits: https://lakewood.advocatemag.com/remembering-barbecs/ They are more akin to bread/cornbread than traditional southern biscuits but they are addictive and go well with butter or a batch of homemade sausage gravy. Long live Barbec’s Beer Biscuits.
  13. Strait Plate was always my go-to at Maudie’s. We always thought the Lake Austin Blvd. location had the most consistent quality over other spots. We lived equidistant between it and Maudie’s Milagro on 360 but usually preferred Lake Austin. Only ate once at Bee Cave and it wasn’t good, although it was shortly after it opened. South Lamar was good, just further away.
  14. I concur. Old Borunda Cafe says ‘hi’.
  15. Damn. An Okie gringo (me) starts a nacho jihad. I always knew I’d be remembered for something…
  16. I’ll throw in two cents for Goodnight book. I’m re-reading the book now as I have a trip planned to camp up in the northeast New Mexico/southeast Colorado mesa country in coming weeks on my way to retrieve the kid from camp. Fantastic book. Possibly my favorite historical book on this area of the country. While a great deal of the book and Goodnight’s history took place in Texas, large sections of this book detail his pioneering of cattle drives up through New Mexican and Colorado, all the way to Wyoming. After reading this book, you see that Larry McMurtry ‘borrowed’ a great deal from this book for the foundation of Lonesome Dove. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the historical Southwest. Photo I took about twenty years ago of Charles Goodnight’s grave out on the high plains:
  17. Have fun! The only advice I’d give is buy your groceries at Costco in Hawaii. There one right by Kahului Airport. Pricing is fairly close to mainland while the smaller Hawaiian groceries will be outrageous. Maui has some great farmers markets too.
  18. Well, at least we now know why Bob Bowlsby retired.
  19. Harry was such a great dude. A little known fact - he grew up in Hollis, OK and was close friends with Darrell Royal. I believe he told me his older brother was Coach Royal’s age. I miss Harry. Not many like him anymore.
  20. How convenient. 99.9999% of OU fan base feels the same about ever playing OSU again. Arkansas will be a nice replacement game in November.
  21. Tren Griffin tweeting about conference realignment and media rights. That’s something I didn’t see coming. 🤣
  22. The media aspects of this round of realignment will be very interesting to follow. I’ve been wondering when Apple and Amazon will make a play for college sports rights.
