  1. this guy and badmofo - the best and the brightest of the Republican Party.
  2. maybe cut the recipe and make a small batch of https://www.louisianacookin.com/alligator-chili-frito-pie/
  3. It’s like Johnny Sack calling you out for being racist, or Slorch calling you out for being disingenuous. You’ve hit the bottom, stop digging.
  4. the menu for the new place (Mumtaz Market) looks intriguing to me. the location (S. 1st) is certainly an upgrade from rainey. we go to el naranjo way more often since they moved from rainey to south lamar and suspect we would do the same with this place if it is good.
  5. well, there’s that, and, as it turns out, Republicans are complete and utter frauds and traitors, to a man. shocker, I know.
  6. 100% of Republicans in this country would be perfectly fine with this. maybe many of them will admit it publicly. but not a single one of them would speak out against it or lift a finger to stop it.
  7. he absolutely needs to do hard time
  8. Republicans are dishonest. that cannot and will not be changed. they will never "come around" and become good and honest people who have the capacity to bring anything of value to society. they need to be dealt with and treated as the hate-mongering, anti-democratic group of lunatics that they are.
  9. pizza and salads are solid, as are the strombolis which they have every now and then as a special.
  10. Trump has exposed the GOP for what it really is and who they really are. in their eyes, there is nothing to recover from. they are proud of their complete shittiness as Americans, and as human beings. Trump simply gave Republicans permission to be open about it to the rest of us.
  11. no, and this a big factor in why Trump has enjoyed unprecedented support among Republicans. to self identify as a Republican, or to vote for or support Republicans requires one to be fundamentally dishonest with ones self and with others.
  12. thanks for posting this. i did this for the first time this weekend and don't think i'll ever go back. i started with the above as the basis for my chili powder and used a combination of anchos, mulatos, and new mexico then used a 1/4 cup of that powder with the el real chili recipe as the starting point - used 2 lbs chili grind and 1 pound ground pork, diced tomatoes instead of puree, and added a diced fresh red bell pepper - plus the dried anchos cooked and then pulled and blended and put back in. my favorite batch so far. the only thing i think i will do different next time is adding in some more of the toasted ancho seeds for more heat
  13. man, where have i heard that before
  14. Republicans think that looks tough. because they are totally dishonest cultist hacks and traitors.
  15. correct - and doing a little digging, it looks like the mars almond bar is now the snickers with almonds, which makes sense because those are amazing
  16. "these are my people. these people and their actions make me proud to be a Republican." - @Johnny Sack
  17. irish white cheddar, wisconsin brick cheese and some oregon blue on dark rye. it was serious.
  18. Mars candy bars seen them in other countries but never here in the US anymore.
  19. looked at the menu for that last night - looks like the garden" part of the restaurant is now open. not really a fan of Roman style pizza, but many other things on the menu sound interesting (scallop roll? yes please). may try to check it out this weekend.

    brunch

    i was going to post a couple recs in response to a poster looking for some weekend brunch options in austin a few weeks ago, but he had his place picked out before i was able to get to my computer - so i decided start this thread. i had always been a breakfast taco on the weekends person, so brunch wasn't really on my radar much - but my GF got me to branch out and a couple of discoveries have brought them into the regular rotation for us my faves: Spread & Co. - on Kerbey Lane a few doors down from Kerbey Lane Cafe, in the spot where the old Baby Louie's was (IIRC) they smoke their own fish for the fish spread, have house made sausage, mustard and pickles, and the home made hot sauce is probably the best I've had anywhere. not sure if they bake all their own bread but i suspect they do. they also have a nice cheese and charcuterie case up front for take home. roti* plate plate with eggs, avocado, creme fresh, capers and onions (and the homemade hot sauce). added a side of the smoked fish spread (not pictured here). *what is a roti? ITS A GIGANTIC HASH BROWN AS BIG AS A DINNER PLATE FC and biscuits with hot honey - special of the day a couple weeks ago breakfast sandwich - eggs and homemade sausage and cheese on a pretzel bun. added the hot sauce. also really like hopfield's and epicurie's brunch, although i think the latter is take out only now. really like savory items much more than sweet when it comes to breakfast/brunch so that usually drives our choices of places. what else you got?
