I completely blew off my 25th High School reunion (with a few people I actually care about) for a threesome with my gf and a chick we picked up in a bar. No regrets.

I should give proper tribute to Bozo_Casanova for the info contained in the above posts. Scrolling around, this concoction (amended by him from a Jack Allen recipe published in TM long ago), has bounced around for over 15 years on the Shag, and the Surl. Makes me wonder how many people he has helped to feed once the maniacal cooks in this group decide to go to work at it. Cheers, Bozo! -

A few years ago, I cobbled together all the info on the Tamale Casserole so I wouldn't have to keep flipping pages on Surly to figure it all out. Put it together in a finalized, cohesive, and fully-tested recipe. Have made this quite a few times now. It is amazing. Much thanks goes out to the original posters, however, for bringing this into our foodie-lexicon. I will attached the MS Word file as well as copy/paste the text below. Enjoy, ya heathens! Happy cooking! Holiday cheers to all! Tamale Casserole.doc -
You magnificent bastard. What beautiful works of art.

The adage of multi-purpose machines not holding up over time has always kept me away. Stick with separate components.

So much longevity in these posts that I'm amazed. Until i bought my Moccamaster 5 years ago, I have never had a coffee maker last more than 3 years. And I was purchasing Cuisinart, Melitta, and DeLonghi over the years.

I've always kept a food service "meat bucket". For 30 years, I have brined my Turkey. 1-cup Table Salt to 1-gallon water for 12 hours. And that's it. So insanely simple and seasons the meat wonderfully.

They had a booth and were slinging Gumbo at Chefs For Farmers a few weeks ago. Was great to talk to them. Gotta bust out of downtown and go try them soon!

Joke's on you...she's the one with the outrageous earnings. I'm happy to be along for the ride. I'm worth more dead than alive, it seems, so maybe I'll help fund her retirement coffers one day (when I can no longer get it up and she decides to kill me).

Just to be clear...which one is which?

During my 6 year purgatory in Lufkin, I could easily score Weller (almost) year-round in Nacogdoches. Got spoiled with that. You can find Weller SR and Weller 12 in just about any bar in Dallas, and then a smattering of the other labels off-and-on. They never seem to be on a retail shelf, though. My current favorite go-to move when I'm fucking off in the afternoon, however, is to go sit at Reno's Chop Shop in Deep Ellum and sip cheap pours of Weller 12 (served in a plastic cup) while rocking out and debating playlists with the bartender. I also have one VERY unexpected place where I spied a brand new bottle of William Larue Weller sitting in a corner, and they charge me $50 for a generous pour. I have slowly been killing that bottle. Not sure how/why they have it, but I've been taking advantage of that shit. Dammit...now I want a Weller...!
