  1. I guess they weren't as rough as I remember maybe but when we bought the house, kitchen looked like this - i have zero regrets paying whatever company it was a bunch of money to sand/plug/paint/install hardware/etc the existing cabinets. although right when the project was done my wife made a comment about how maybe we should change the doors on the cabinets and it was one of the rare moments where she saw my face and never spoke about it again
  2. on the diaper pale thing - i know people like the one linked above and I wish we had gotten that one instead of a... whatever it is we have, one of those fuckers with the proprietary bags. With kid #1, the changing table was in her bedroom, which is on the second floor. I emptied the diaper genie every day to make it not retchworthy. Kid 2, we have a little table attachment set up on the pack and play that we keep set up downstairs (in addition to the one on his dresser upstairs) and I change 95% of his diapers downstairs. Kitchen trash is right there and I chuck them in there - typing that, maybe I'd be grossed out if it was an under counter thing, but it's just on the periphery of the kitchen in an open 1st floor. I empty that trash every day and the diaper genie doesn't get used much this time around. Much prefer it. My convoluted advice summed up here really is - make a changing station near where the action in your house is. And buy wipes in bulk. For bottles, I feel like the kid kinda chose the bottle, although we settled on the same bottles for kid 2 so maybe we're influencing that more than we think. These are what we wound up with and they're a little bit of a pain (6 parts counting the lid - base, gasket, body, top, nipple, lid) but I'm like Forrest Gump cleaning his rifle with these - what I wish for you is that you find the bottle that works for you well without buying every goddamn bottle on the market Look at this 3 month old. He was holding his head up almost immediately and desperately wants to stand
  3. Holy shit. And here’s me thinking that taking the tunnel was the scary route.
  4. No, I’m not a monster. Those are corn tortillas. White corn, but corn. Although I can see how the little grill marks look like flour - that’s from frying them on the comal before rolling.
  5. Well 5+7/16ths is just a tad too short, at least for la banderita tortillas
  6. I used to eat the shit out of Taco Cabana enchiladas. After any gig in high school, that was the late night destination. We knew a crew of Houston guys and their version was a Jalisciences near the…. Galleria? that everyone called “Jolly Science”.
  7. my sister played oboe and I played french horn. we were all pretty musical but still I feel bad for everyone else in retrospect - those are the worst learning curve instruments. can still hear oboe the squeaks. most annoying 5th grade band kids are sax and percussion stupidest instrument is bass clarinet and dorkiest is euphonium in the context of listening to popular music, I'm going to throw steel drums into the discussion. When has that appeared on a track (either as an instrument or as a sample) and made things better?
  8. It’s really something like that, specifically something like a low tier pointy Ibanez plugged into a solid state half stack with a metal zone in front of it. but, you’re really criticizing the player rather than the instrument. and does a…. Jaw harp, or a vuvuzela, etc count as an instrument
  9. oh that's funny I always just assumed they were from Houston, and that was back in the day before there was almost any way of learning facts about tiny bands. When I was probably a junior in high school my band (which at that point still considered itself somewhat "ska") opened for them an Los Skarnales upstairs at Fitzgeralds and I thought I had basically made it at that point.
  10. The last batch I made I used a half sheet, and honestly I think the thing I need may be a quarter sheet. Might order a pack of Nordic ware quarter sheets, which are 13x9.6 and an inch deep. Could go two rows vertical on the 13” side. I bought these to try freezing half of the batch, the little guys might be convenient Actually, let me clarify - do you roll and sauce and then freeze? Or roll sauce bake and freeze and then rebake? I’m assuming the former
  11. There was a third wave ska band out of based out of Houston called Secret Agent 8 that had a theremin. So, just remember that before suggesting that they might not be cool.
  12. I think this is the guy, 15.5x10.5. So, somewhere around 5.25 for the skinny side, I’m gonna look around.
  13. Depends on how much of a bar tab you run up
  14. had to scroll back so far to find it, but I did because it's one of the best pictures in this thread imo - but yeah, that's more than I'm hoping to make in a batch. I guess I should get out the measurements and just find a pan that's 2x that and a decent width. on my list of things this year is to fuck around with making corn tortillas, but I feel like the regular sized ones that you can get at the store are fairly consistent across brands? Are we making enchiladas with bigass tortillas?
  15. is there a dish that y'all have found is just the right size for making enchiladas? I always end up with a neat row of however many enchiladas and then two sets of two going the other direction and then a dead corner. Also going to try and roll/sauce/freeze an extra tray when I'm making them this week.
  16. I always love in movies like this how the shitty backwoods bar has a deep lineup of really good 7 piece bands that are in the bar tuning their guitars and shit at 10am
  17. That’s some rosewood looking mahogany. Although it can be tricky sometimes. i like playing “identify the guitar” with Carter’s Instagram feed because it’s always just a d-28.
  18. https://www.sedona411.com/sedona_directory
  19. I have to assume that Google thought this through and made it easy to stop unwanted notifications from Google alerts, but that’s here https://www.google.com/alerts I would think what you want is Sedona related businesses that are of the kind that are not… scrupulous when it comes to direct email marketing. A shotgun approach of signing up an email address for the newsletter of lots of different stores, what is the Sedona equivalent of do512 or whatever, is there a company that does…. Sand dune tours or whatever the fuck it is there. I think you need to budget a few hours, or maybe 15 minutes a night, to searching and subscribing. also, you could investigate the Craigslist approach. What is it… meetup? Is there a thing where maybe someone with his email address wants to meet people for crystal meditation in the Sedona area?
  20. Even more destructive to systematically deny them lifesaving care.
  21. Just list free chickens on craigslist using their phone number
