  1. Remembering the spreadsheet app with feeding/poop information -
  2. Is that recipe from the Walsh book as well? I’ll have to try it. My super low effort recipe is to fry a cup of rice in a few tbsp of oil with about half a tbsp of knorr caldo de tomate and maybe 1/4 tsp of cumin, add 2 cups of water and 1/2 tbsp of chicken better than boullion and some frozen peas, bring to a boil, cover, cook as directed for twenty and then turn off the heat and let sit for another 10-20. I like it better with the onions and other accoutrement but the three year old loves “rice with peas” and I can do this whole thing while working on other stuff.
  3. lol I thought so - you literally took a pack of la banderita tortillas with you to Mexico
  4. I live in North Carolina. Pickings are slim, which is why I had to learn how to make my own flour tortillas. Inedible is a stretch.
  5. Leon Bridges has a song called "River" on his album "Coming Home" and that can't be a coincidence
  6. Maybe these pussy ass kids would be less pessimistic about the culture of malevolence and cruelty for sport if they experienced some real pain.
  7. I love the idea of filling out an enrollment form for Alcoholics Anonymous
  8. yeah we usually take that route when we're driving to NYC. That whole stretch from DC up to NYC is busy all the time.
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. Holy shit. And here’s me thinking that taking the tunnel was the scary route.
  12. 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.
  13. Well 5+7/16ths is just a tad too short, at least for la banderita tortillas
  14. 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”.
  15. 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?
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. 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
  19. 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.
  20. I think this is the guy, 15.5x10.5. So, somewhere around 5.25 for the skinny side, I’m gonna look around.
  21. Depends on how much of a bar tab you run up
