  1. Back in the 80s, my dad used to let the coals burn down, spread them into a circle, put hickory chips and whole pecans in the middle of the circle, and grill over it. So it was direct grilled, but sort of spread out like a reverse sear. They probably would have been overdone for your taste, but they consistently were damned good. No matter how you do it, a butter basting at the end is the real cheat code.
  2. Looks to be better than anything he's done in years. IN!
  3. Broke is the new woke.
  4. When my kids were little, we used to call that sippy-cup fermented product "Texas Car Cheese."
  5. During the early panic buying of COVID, I saw an old man with a grocery basket full of off-brand Ho-Hos and Ding Dongs---Little Debbie type shit. A friend of mine saw a local District Judge with a basket full of Coke Zero and cured hams.
  6. There is an ad-tier of Netflix that is $8 per month rather than $18. Also, if you have Hulu and cancel, they will offer it to you for $3 per month for six months. Cancel on the six month and they'll offer you another 6 months at $3 per month. The Bear has one more season. I can deal with $3.
  7. Some Dick beat them to it.
  8. How much you want for them eggs?

    Can't get enough of this . . . ever. Love the story about recording this song for the album. Things weren't working out on the solo. With some help of one of the guys on their crew, they took a mobile recording unit out, broke into Carlos Santana's gear locker, and used his gear to record the guitar solo that went on the album. That. Is. Brown.

    Missed this thread until now. Such a great band. Got into them in the mid 90s. Saw them in Dallas in 2003. Saw them again in Dallas in 2024 with my older son, and they still were as good as the first time I saw them. I finally got most of the vinyl I wanted (C&C through Quebec). I hope they're able to pull it together and get back on stage at least occasionally, but hopefully Deaner can really get healthy first. A good friend of mine was at the Stubb's show and remarked that the encore really was something. 😺 I just wish the uncropped video still was floating around.
  11. First crack at shrimp etouffe. Happy
  12. I kind of have a feeling TylerISD isn't interested in fighting the school renaming battle again any time soon, even though there are plenty of people around here who would love it. They've already changed the stationary, it didn't hurt as much as they though it would, and it's too big of a to-do to re-fuck it.
  13. I flat out told my kids that it was in state for an undergraduate degree unless they managed to get a full ride somewhere they wanted to go more (or wanted to go to Arky, which will give Texas the equivalent of in-state tuition). No cloak room, but until recently, I would have told them they teach the same history in history classes at UT as they do at any out-of-state school. So far, so good on that assumption.
  14. To clarify, she quit after her junior year in high school, but was recruited by several small schools before she quit. She got into Wake Forest on academics.
  15. A friend of mine whose daughter was in the "rowing" scene called it the cheat code for getting any kid into a decent college. It's a lot though. His daughter burned out by the end of her junior year. Now's she's a NARP (non-athletic regular person) and is going to Wake Forest next year. She probably wouldn't have gotten into Wake for rowing, but she was recruited by several schools her junior year.
  16. Nah. Fuck that squirrel. He pick up the Discovery Channel on that thing?

    That's why they also sell D9 Hemp gummies in Texas (for now). On discount days, 12.5mg will run you about $2.25, I'm told.
  18. Which anniversary? As long as it isn't divisible by 5, don't sleep on Hopfields. I know it usually gets mentioned for its burgers, but the dinner ambience is very good as is the dinner menu. The Beef Cheeks Bourguignon I had a few years ago still haunts my dreams. Not overly fancy, but they serve some good, honest food.
  19. I'd ask $1,500 and be prepared to come down to $1,000. I realize they're asking $4,600 new for what appears to be the 48x24" barrel, but for something that's 3/16" thick with a 1/4" firebox, that seems like a pretty high price. It's nice that stainless doesn't rust, but it doesn't seem to be the best material for holding a consistent temperature. But what it lacks in thickness, it seems to make up for in the cooking surface. So that's a plus. But it's hard to see how that vertical section does with the airflow. I'm just spit-balling on that price. For an apples to oranges comparison, I bought a new 48x24 (3/8" thick) pipe smoker spec'd out custom for me last year for $2,500. But maybe there's a market for a combo smoker like this that I'm not aware of.
