  1. Yes. And I don't know since I never judge a book based for its cover.

    I stirred it for years, and I agree that it's a greatly-satisfying drinking game. But not to put too fine of a point on it, after a few goes at doing it in the oven, my results have been that it adds a depth of flavor that doing it on the stovetop just doesn't yield for me. I asked ye olde Cajun coworker about it, and she said most of her relatives make it in the oven too. For me, it's about what it tastes like in the end rather than the amount of effort required. If stirring it made for better gumbo, I'd stir it. I rank it up there with making your own stock as far as end product goes.
  3. There probably are better cookbooks, but back when I was looking, a lot of them were in German. This has been good as an introduction, and the recipes are solid.
  4. Jägerschnitzel over German potato salad with kraut. Trust me. It's under there. Pretty, pretty good.

    I think it's better than okay. It's superior in flavor. Although I haven't tried the Paul Prudhomme, high-heat method.

    Mine gets there (dark chocolate) in about two hours and it's never taken longer than 2.5 hours.
  7. That second video is making me kick myself for selling that pedal. Also, those Gibson Maestro pedals sounded pretty good.
  8. As the once-owner of a 70s Maestro Phaser MP1, I'd think if it even approached being that good in an analog pedal, then, yeah. Easily the most musical phaser I've ever had. But it looked like a space heater and liked to shock me. Then again, it had a foot-adjustable wheel control called "Balls." TLDR: Check out the Phaser. But it's a bit different because it's modeled after the PS1 Maestro Phaser. Still . . . Damn. I should have rehoused that thing somehow.
  9. /sorry. But funny is funny
  10. Not for nothin', but the price hike has been not nothin'. As of about two years ago, I can get a far superior burger and fries combo from a local chain (with a drive-thru) for maybe a buck more if I don't bother with a drink. If this local chain figures out how properly to combine the elements of jalapeno, cheddar, and biscuit, W'ate[r]burger's gonna be in trouble for my going there outside of a roadtrip where it's the best/most-agreeable option.
  11. /you are a hero. One way or the other, I hope to try this place at some point. I don't get to Houston as often as I once did.
  12. Somehow, it won't be as good, right? Wish I could have tried the original location . . . just in case. Either that, or it'll be fine.
  13. I've been to PF Changs exactly once back in 1998 or so. It was good, but it wasn't better than the relatively hole-in-the-wall place that was down the street, extremely good, and more reasonably priced. RIP Ming's in Montrose.
  14. A couple of internet images of food from Payne's for reference.
  15. Username sort of tracks.

    Thanks, QE. Goodbye and good luck.
  17. I hope you had a hell of a piss, Arnold!
  18. Whether it's 4th and 5 or 4th and 13, let's mudhole these chumps! TEXAS!!!!!
  19. Username does not check out.
  20. . . . and the camera is sideways again.
  21. Would someone please do something entertaining? Please and thanks.
  22. You didn't mention there was going to be a bounce house!
