  1. If that's true, whoever made that decision could fuck up Christmas. We've lost so much. May this be the tipping point. Tyler had a cafeteria called Traditions, which was started by a former Luby's employee. The food was identical if not slightly elevated, and once inside, you might as well have been at Luby's (and we had three other Luby's in town). It recently shut down (after we lost all of our Luby's). It's been a small but noticeable hole in my eating-out existence these last few years.
  2. My sides will be mac n cheese and xxxx with a roll. But my ordering the fish never is in doubt.
  3. If they were going to screw up something, why did it have to be the fish? Luanne Platter is rolling over in her grave! That said, I would smash that fish like the fist of an angry god. It's been too long.
  4. I think you show up with your own tray and silverware wrapped in a green, linen napkin and walk that to-go order back to the office.
  5. Glad they're getting to the bottom of that JonBenet Ramsey thing.
  6. As does yours.
  7. I'm starting to see a correlation with the THC vape sales ban and all the PAX dry-herb vape ads I've been getting in my instagram feed these last few weeks. Moose out front should've told me though.
  8. This movie will never get old, and the soundtrack is a total banger. There were other aspects of this movie that were bangers as well. edit: And that ski ballet shit remains one of the coolest things ever (visually) and should have remained part of free-style skiing. I tried for years to pull off that pirouette move without a hint of success.
  9. Somewhere, there is a sane, legislative strategy. It begins with, "No matter what you do or how hard you try, you're never going to keep people who want weed from getting weed." Also, thankfully, Texas can't impose tariffs against other states or these buffoons would have tried it already. Baffoons: Hold my cup of decaf tea!
  10. Yeah, I saw that. But it doesn't ban possession. So looks like some other states will reap the tax revenue on shipping those products to Texans.
  11. Going to see the IMAX screening this afternoon at 4 pm. Glad to hear the good reviews. First time seeing it on a big screen of any kind.
  12. No, I think he needs to stop getting laid. Women weaken legs. The rose goes in the front, big guy. And so on.
  13. A couple of people I was watching the game with wondered if he was injured and the side arming of the ball was something he was doing to play through it. I watched a few passes from the MS-ST game last year and his motion looked different to me.
  14. I sanded my Lodge down several years ago and reseasoned. It definitely was an improvement.
  15. From the Lake f/k/a Granite Shoals FIGHT!!!
  16. On video, at least, I don't think the man has used the same nonstick pan on camera twice. And that's fine (for the food).
  17. I'll go you one better: What if, in this scenario, Jordan Shipley and Parker Livingston were roommates? That'd be something to talk about.
  18. The one exception is his using a metal fork in a non-stick pan to make an omelet. His technique is of the gods, but I've got enough PFAs in my bloodstream from my mother's nonstick that probably wasn't replaced for decades until I showed up with a couple of new pans one year to explain that those flaking bits probably weren't good for any of us. I don't use nonstick, but if I did, I'm not doing any violent whipping and scraping with metal forks anywhere near it. And that's why my omelets will never be as good as the ones Jacque and Julia made. And it probably doesn't matter because they both made it (will make it) to their 90s. Pass the butter.
  19. Oh, wow! My father in law had that poster at his lakehouse (doublewide). Wonderful artwork and informative.
  20. My first thought when I saw that:
  21. While there's a slight chance I could do myself harm, with the blade angled toward the board and the clove between the edge and the spine, I've never felt like I was doing any damage to the blade or my hand. I'm not smashing it. I'm just giving it a little thump, and, honestly, could just apply a little pressure to the spine end of the heel. I think using the butt (end of the handle) with the blade away from the board would be more concerning. But the scraper is an option. But with the knife, I'm holding the handle, which keeps it where I want it. With the scraper, I'd probably end up mashing my fingers. Worth a shot, but I've got it down to a science and tend to cut myself doing various other things instead. You can also put the garlic in a bowl with the ends cut, place another bowl on top (inverted), and shake the shit out of it. The peels mostly will come off. This is kind of a to-do though.
  22. Preach. And, with the approach of September, the weekly, extra Kerrygold butter buying in anticipation of not wanting to spend $100 on butter all at once come Thanksgiving, soon will commence. As for the kids' learning good habits, my son just moved into his first apartment in Austin and was gifted a 10" cast iron pan. He made a few seasoning mistakes before he called me for advice, and I walked him through what he needed to do to keep it seasoned and relatively nonstick. I knew if I told him going in, I'd just end up telling him twice. He was calling me in about 2 days and has his first lifer pan.
  23. Agreed. Unrelated, my sister brought me some of that Onion/Chili seasoning from Trader Joe's last weekend. Solid.
  24. Bonus: My hands smell like garlic the next day. Edit: Also, for anyone who hasn't tried to peel garlic, just lay a clove on the cutting board, cut the ends off, lay knife flat over the clove, and hit the flat part of the knife with your palm. Remove peel. Chop/dice garlic.
