  1. Stopped in the other day before my flight. Very nice, with decent food and a nice bar. Plenty of seating. It was actually nicer than some Centurion lounges.
  2. AustinMT

    Italian

    Their Bolognese is also the best in town
  3. Wrong on Fixe. Nothing wrong with VY, but you can get the same food at half a dozen other steakhouses.
  4. We go there a lot because my company is based there. Not a big country music fan either, but I'd encourage you to spend some time on Broadway and check out a couple of the places. It's fun just people-watching and, regardless of the style, the musicians they get are very talented. Where are you staying? Can give you some restaurant recommendations.
  5. Went this time last year. rented a house in Uvita. Great time, but that is a pretty remote area. If we go back we’d stay at Arenal View from the patio at the place we rented:
  6. Still bitter about freshman English?
  7. There is no political unrest in Aruba. Spent a week there in October at the Ritz. It was very "tame"
  8. OP didn’t specify anything other than great weather and relaxing
  9. Aruba Not too crowded, incredibly nice people, good beaches and clear water
  10. If it was Oklahoma you could just let your kids drive around while you wait in line
  11. Parking is funky because there is a climbing gym that also shares the lot with the food trailers. May have to get creative on a Saturday.
  12. Aioli isnt mayonnaise!!! It shouldn’t be, but they way most places make it (by adding egg as an emulsifier, or just using a mayo base) it is....
  13. Liked the show. OK with another season
  14. OK — off topic, but Deacon Jones was a monster: Jones was considered by many to revolutionize the position of defensive end. He was credited with coining the phrase "sacking the quarterback".[8] In 1999, Jones provided an L.A. Times reporter with some detailed imagery about his forte: “You take all the offensive linemen and put them in a burlap bag, and then you take a baseball bat and beat on the bag. You’re sacking them, you’re bagging them. And that’s what you’re doing with a quarterback.” What separated Jones from every other defensive end was his speed and his ability to make tackles from sideline to sideline, which was unheard of in his time. He also was the first pass rusher to use the head slap, a move that he said was, "...to give myself an initial head start on the pass rush, in other words an extra step. Because anytime you go upside a man's head … or a woman; they may have a tendency to blink they [sic] eyes or close they eyes. And that's all I needed. "[9] “The head slap was not my invention, but Rembrandt, of course, did not invent painting. The quickness of my hands and the length of my arms, it was perfect for me. It was the greatest thing I ever did, and when I left the game, they outlawed it.”[4] Pro Football Weekly reported he accumulated 173½ sacks over his career, which would be third on the all-time sack list. (Jones would have ranked first all-time at the time of his retirement, and since has been surpassed by two fellow Hall of Famers Bruce Smith and Reggie White.) [10] In 1967, Jones had 21½ sacks in only 14 games; he tallied 22 sacks in 14 games the following year. If official, this would have stood as an NFL record until Harvey Martin's 1977 campaign, in which he totaled 23 sacks. (The term "sack" had not yet been coined at the time, and official sack statistics were not recorded by the NFL until 1982.)
  15. That's what I have done in the past and it has worked fine. On the brisket -- I have typically reheated on the smoker with good results, but I know others use the oven.
  16. I meant only one “carnita”
  17. Leftover cold pizza Leftover cold fried chicken
  18. Bingo. Fortunately the bourbon and beer my friends will bring will help offset the cost
  19. Grabbed this at the local HEB today
  20. If you don't have a vacuum sealer, try resting, cooling then wrapping in saran wrap and then put inside the large turkey brining bags. Expel the air, seal, and wrap in foil and freeze. Then use the methods you can find here or online for reheating with hot water.
