    Open, but out of what HEB"s 'Find it' website claimed that particular store had.  Again.  Repeatedly.  "Oh, we haven't had that since Christmas."

    Let's be honest, HEB has slipped into overrated status.  Too many stores with a lousy selection.  Have to watch expiration dates like a hawk, I seem to find a lot more out of date items on the shelf than at Krogers and Randalls.  Unlike those two, they rarely mark stuff down when it nears expiration, so often have to reach back into their packaged veggies that should be good for a week or more because they've put stuff with only a day left in front.  Their whole chickens often don't have much flavor because some stores seem to skimp on flavoring.  Can't ever seem to find a store with Adobado chips these days.  Always out of the stuff the coupon says you get free if you buy X.  Yada yada yada, bitch bitch bitch....

    Can’t believe your store is really that bad. You wanna see a fucked up store?  Come to Lufkin.

    this.

    my buddies went in a million different directions.

    One is developing new magnetic imagery for the military. He had low self esteem in HS because he’s not very book smart- he was more the shop/auto type of student-so feels he needs to explain how intellegent and important he is now. Dude has literally invented some cool shit, but I’m more of a portal to HS times for him to feel better about how shitty his teens were. 

    One became a professional race car driver. Now he is a kept man in Atlanta. It’s as much fun talking to him as you’d expect, 10 good stories mixed in with 1000 boring stories. He sent me a Christmas card I haven’t opened yet.

    one ODed. No Christmas card there.

    one is a marine biologist and is in Thailand doing research. He was my best friend but he’s gone native, married a Thai girl and plans to live there the rest of his life. Developed a nice animosity and light hatered for the US he likes to talk about all the time, so our communication is mostly with emojis. 

    One actually lives down the street from me. Like, walking distance. I happened to see his address and that he’s married to the same dumb chick he was with when he was 15. He hit me up thru linked in saying how I was one of his best friends, was there for him, was a pivotal personality in his life and we need to get together, yada yada. 

    I wrote him back saying hi and we should get a drink sometime. That was 2 yrs ago. 

     

     

     

    That is some sad shit...

  3. Been quite a while for me, but Rathskellar was always a breakfast destination for me. Corner of Lincoln & Main in the basement under the old hospital (currently Der Kuchen Laden store).  Love the Smoked Duck Hash. 

    Lincoln Street always a cozy place to chill and set a relaxed, romantic vibe. 

    Auslander for beers and socializing.

    Merry Christmas to me. Nice haul the last few days...

    Looking forward to trying the Balcones Blue Corn cask strength. Any opinions?

    Had the 1910 last night. Really like it.f9923f9aefc2e83f5172dea9025ad8ec.jpg

    That Blue Corn Cask Strength is a man’s drink. Good stuff, but, whoo!...watch out!

    If I had confidence that the plastics and papers I save for the recycle bins were actually recycled, I'd participate more. But my confidence level is at 5% and therefore I do not.

    Was in the Seguin HEB parking lot waiting on my Mom’s 16th trip there that weekend. Don’t get me started. And I know...I was surprised they were open as well...!

    Amyway...employee is going around emptying the trash cans from the parking lot into a larger bin he’s rolling. Then he empties the ones around the entry. Then he empties all the bags from the recycling drop into his same trash bin and goes wandering around the building to the dumpsters. 

    Totally pissed all over my hope for humanity...three days before goddam Christmas.

    , almost forgot O Holy Night - the bridge to that is one of the greatest moments in Christmas music.  What's the best version of that one?

    David Phelps owns this song. Dude has the pipes and the passion for sure.

  7. Very simple Christmas this year. Wife scored some mid-years Pretty Maids releases that I didn’t have and found me some Nameless Detective novels I was missing as well. Tunes and quiet reading with a bourbon...what could be better?

     

    Oh...and we bought a house. So much for simple.....

  8. I do onions for 30 minutes on medium. 

    After melting the butter, the first 10 minutes is just the onions. Stir once or twice to keep things even. 

    Next 10 minutes with Salt, a shitload of Black Pepper, and a shot of Red Wine Vinegar. Stir once or twice to keep things even. 

    Next 10 minutes with Honey added to make it gooey and help carmelize. Stir 2 or 3 times to keep from burning until desired color. 

    They turn out amazing every time. 

  9. Friday night in Tyler:

    100 minute set from Robert Cray, who came out swinging with a particularly groovy version of Phone Booth and never let up. 

    He tiptoed nicely through his 40 year spanning discography, covering many moods and styles, constantly improvising solos and putting on an impressive Blues guitar clinic. 

    Still a good looking, charming, and energetic dude, entertaining as hell and still sounds exactly the same vocally as he ever did. I’m guessing the guy either has good genes or really takes care of himself.

    Left us waltzing out the door with the haunting strains of Time Takes Two in our heads. 

    Sheer perfection...

    Your wife buys you gifts? My wife tells me to buy myself something so that I can give it to her to give to me for Christmas/birthday. Whatever, no big deal. But for my birthday this year, I bought a polo shirt and gave it to her, said "Give me this for my b-day.". My b-day arrives a couple of weeks later and as the kids were giving me gifts, wife says, "Gee, I wish I had a gift to give you". I had to dig out the gift from her pile of clean clothes and give it to myself (again).

    That’s just fucking sad, man. Clearly, she cares only so much.

    Had some for the first time tonight. Heat and char upfront, but mellows into a nice caramel woodiness in the finish. Enjoyed it very much over the past two years.
