    In this last month before the older boy goes off to UT, I've made a lot of his favorite meals. Last weekend, I was going to make gumbo, but everyone opted to go to the lake to ski; so gumbo was postponed. I made a roux in the oven on Saturday night, jarred it, and put it in the fridge. Tonight, I got cooking. Naturally, I forgot to defrost the stock, but got it done. The only thing I did differently was to add the roux after I cooked up the veggies in the fat from browning the sausage. I'm not convinced I'll taste a difference since we're adding plenty of liquid from the chicken stock, but we'll see. One thing I was proud of was finding the andouille sausage with the grandma's picture on the package my Cajun coworker told me was the one that tended to be used in her family and friend group in Louisiana. But when I sent her a picture to confirm, she responded, "Right brand, but we use the regular Hickory smoked sausage instead of Andouille." D'oh! So I guess I'll try that next time to see what I prefer. I still haven't tried the rice she says is most used since I'd have to order that one. Anyway, a couple of hours to go and it will be served tomorrow after sitting overnight in the fridge. The sausage

  3. Betting the kids' college fund on it. Helobious lock
  4. Part of it has to be that SS wants him to hold rallies indoors, and he doesn't want to pay for the venue. He needs to hold onto those campaign funds to pay retainers.

  6. If they were people you interacted with, you'd probably categorize them as decidedly uncool. Even on that level, I just don't want to be around them. In layman's terms, it's why they have Chachi and we have the Fonz.
  7. Hell, Obama even campaigned in Germany in 2008. edit: saw you linked that speech. Twas a good one. I remember watching it thinking, we need to elect this guy. And I remember watching him speak at the 2004 DNC. I turned to my wife and said "that guy is going to be the next President."

    I think Fort Worth rules in golf state that if you don't hit your drive further than the ladies' tee box, you have to play the rest of the hole with your dick hanging out. I don't know anything about this judge, this case, the basis for jurisdiction for an out of state defendant, or whether anyone has moved to recuse the judge for ruling on a case involving twitter, where he owns stock in a different company in which Elmo is involved. So as to the "legality" of it, who knows? It's certainly a candidate for the smell test.

    It appears to be the equivalent of Fort Worth rules in golf.
  11. Yeah, it's a lot easier when you just vomit word salad. Trump's working with a level of improvisation that would make Jerry Garcia blush.
  12. You want to go peacefully in your sleep? Not screaming like your passengers? /sorry. It couldn't be helped. Gallows humor.
  13. There used to be a Corsair that flew out of the old Andrau Airpark in Houston when I still was flying (student) in the early 90s before moving to W. Houston airpark. I'm not sure if it was the original P&W rebuilt somehow, but that engine was loud AF and sounded like the voice of an angry god. It's on the runway, quiet idle, then, all of a sudden: FOGHORN! Spec-tacular.
  14. He'll declare it the worst thing to happen in aviation all day.
