Shit I've Cooked Lately
Stared this morning by rinsing and sorting black-eyed peas - eventually realizing that I was rinsing pinto beans. Fuck. Off to HEB for some actual black-eyed peas. Peas and cornbread while watching the game. Sous vide pork chops, bacon grease sautéed cabbage, and more black-eyed peas for dinner.

2024 Celebrity Death Pool
After several years with everyone on my list surviving, I hit with three in 2024 for a total of 121 points (Richard Lewis, Shannen Doherty, and Jonnie Irwin). My picks came in a couple days late, though.

My oldest, who graduates UT in May, watched the game at a bar in Phoenix. She said she changed the fight song to "goodbye to ASU" which was met with booing all around. HOOK'EM!

Who would have thought that a coach willing to go for it on 4th and 10, might fake a point?

Radio call disappeared. Silence is still better than national call.

Usually terrorism requires destruction or killing for political aims. Until some motive is developed, FBI isn't going to classify as terrorism.

Any of you tech nerdz wanna help craft a College Football Scorigami website?
I suspect this "can you help me with this?" thread pops up some when people are searching the interwebs for help. I also suspect those people are surprised with the level of help provided by Surly.

Texas BBQ
Checked out a new place today - BBQ Fiends in Hutto. A truck parked at Rockabilly Brewery on a hill above Brushy Creek just south of town. One of today's specials was The Manchaca - brisket, refried beans, bacon, and fried egg served on a tortilla (clear homage to Valentina's Real Deal Holyfield). Pretty damn good. I got a half pound of brisket, half pound of pork ribs, a chorizoqueso sausage, elotes, and potato salad to go. Good write up by Daniel Vaughan a few months back and the sausage made his recent list of Favorite Texas Barbecue Bites of 2024. Just based on the brisket taco, I know I'll be back.

Concerts you are attending
Saw Billy Gibbons, Chris Layton, Mike Flanigin, and Jimmie Vaughan at Antone's on Friday. Arrived early enough to grab one of the stools along the wall. Gibbons started by saying that he wasn't feeling great, but the show must go on. Played several ZZ Top songs and Gibbons voice sounded terrible - painful to listen to because you could tell that it hurt him to sing. It seemed that they improvised some and probably had Flanigan and Vaughan sing a few more. I would have been fine with just hearing the guitars without singing. I thought they would cancel last night's show and the Ft. Worth show tonight based upon how bad Gibbons sounded and felt, but they played last night.

This. Get some decent coffee, a cold brew filter, and a mason jar.

Netflix Recommendations
I've watched the first two episodes so far and its compelling. @kingkoopa6 should weigh in, his post in the Squid Game thread makes it appear that he has watched more of it - maybe the whole season.

Texas BBQ
In 2017 I did a day trip to Brownsville from Austin for Vera's barbacoa. Might have to make that run again.
