  1. Agreed. After the last ep it’s pretty clear Coop would have been better off just telling his wife the moneytrain was off the tracks and to fuck off, telling his shitty kids they’re headed to public school next year, selling the Maserati, and heading down the road. I think it’s about to spin into a total disappointing shitshow. I don’t give a shit about his nutjob sister and her obsessive relationship. Or family conflicts with his chica partner. Or his ex wife’s rich nba boyfriend’s entrepreneurial efforts. Or Barney’s home reno issues or in-law problems. it would be improved with more nekkid women.
  2. We watched both last night and some of the scenes are very lol. It’s so clever and funny. Putting Murderbot with a group of cheapskate hippie fuckhappy explorers is brilliant.
  3. All of our TVs are Roku. It has several advantages we like and features get better. Any of my sets without Roku have a Roku stick.
  4. Pearls is still good for a cold beer on a hot day as it’s dark in there and the ac is cold. The crowd is mostly geriatric.
  5. Lake Murray, Turner Falls, and the springs in Sulphur. I usually stop there to fill up on the way to the kids in Shawnee. The Braum’s is good and has clean restrooms. Swadley’s bbq sucks. Two Frogs is good.
  6. Joe Don Baker, 89, died May 7. Buford Pusser in Walking Tall (a totally fabricated story of cleaning up McNairy County but really a war with the previous sheriff and Dixie Mafia for control of the vice along the state line) lots of great supporting roles in his career. born in Groesbeck. How my grandmother never mentioned this thru her 101 years I find amazing. She knew everything about every famous or celeb from limestone county, and could tell you how many time Anna Nicole smith brought her chicken in Mexia. All about Bob Wills and her brother played fiddle for Wills and the Lightcrust Doughboys. Cynthia Ann Parker was a distant relative. If you just came thru it counted. She saw Bonnie and Clyde speeding thru downtown Mexia with both police cars chasing them.
  7. My three favs were naturals: Beverly Lynne, Susan Featherly, and Brandin Rackley.
  8. It was another example of the collective stupidity of corporate America. I’ve seen so much of it in my life. The same brain disease enabled the Edsel, killed Aunt Jemima, and fast tracked Ishtar. if they used Home Box Office, which was a perfect brand for their service when it launched, I wonder how many know what a box office is these days.
  9. Why my phone converted Cardellini to Bartalini I don’t know. Talia Shire is excellent as the mousey ex nun nonna (I’ve had a thing for her since she was Connie Corleone) and Brenda Vaccaro is funny as well. (She was pretty hot back when Michael Douglas was banging her.) they made some story license for the movie. The story of overcoming grief thru family and food was focused on his mother but in real life he lost his nonna, his grandfather, his mother, and his sister in the 18 months prior to buying the place. And Linda cardellini was a writer creation.
  10. https://englishbreakfastsociety.com/back-bacon.html actually they use a cut that is part belly, part loin. They cure it but I don’t think they smoke it. It’s not very good to me, like boiled Canadian and American bacon. I prefer bangers
  11. My mother did the same with leftover meat. She had a grinder for her mixer and would make the pot roast beef salad, or pork roast salad, and if there was a leftover steak or two she’d grind them up for a ground steak salad which was the tits. Dad was an excellent grill man on the Weber and generous. If they had folks over he’d cook a couple extra steaks in case others came. Thank you for reminding me of this dish; I got to make it too now.
  12. You can live in one of those long canal boats. When crossing streets look right left right or you might get mushed. They drive on the wrong side of the street often there. the national dishes are chicken tikka masala, fish and chips, limp bacon, and canned beans for breakfast. Black pudding is not chocolate.
  13. A Italian-American 3rd gen buddy of mine in New Jersey has eaten at Enoteca Marie a couple of times. He took clients there who wanted to have an Italian family experience. Of course, he says the food is very good but like everyone else that grew up on it, every family has their own spin on everything, so he prefers his family’s recipes. He still has his mother and his wife is from the neighborhood, and they still do a big family Sunday dinner once a month with his kids, and his cousins and aunts. They did it every Sunday until his dad died. when I retire we’ll be moving near the kids, and I hope to do a big family dinner every couple weeks. I have lots of colleagues in NY/NJ and most are Italians or Orthodox Jews. They keep their families together with big Sunday or shabbos dinners; food is important. I don’t like my granddaughters growing up without traditional foodways or the big family feasts. Their diet consists of chicken nuggets, pizza, and sugar.
  14. Her stirring the cannolis was as sexy a scene as I’ve seen in ten years. Bellissimo!
  15. Nonnas. A cute little movie about an Italian American guy who opens a restaurant on Staten Island with Italian nonnas as chefs. It’s got a nice cast like Lorraine Branco and Linda Bartalini, but it’s really a love story to Italian American families and their food.
  16. My old man sometimes ate awful things like a sardine sandwich. I just remembered he would get a hankering for a “salad” sandwich. Usually tuna fish but sometimes ham or chicken. He’d sometimes make a baloney salad sandwich of chopped baloney, mayo, pickle relish, onion. Wasn’t my favorite but wasn’t awful.
  17. That 8th ave location is cursed. It ran Derek Allen and his smokin hot wife out of the industry. I worry about any change or expansion of a successful bbq joint, as they are rarely operated by experienced restaurateurs. Adding evening hours, days of operation new locations, debt, all can be deadly to these places. Heim and his wife burned out and sold out, Valentina’s flamed out, Derek Allen quit, the list is endless.
  18. So is real sugar Dr Pepper as hard to find elsewhere as it is in DFW? I’m talking about the cans.
  19. Went to Hurtado OG in Arlington again today with my boss from San Diego. Everything on point today; this location remains superior to the other stores Brandon has opened. today the star of the show were the bacon burnt ends and the ribs. The Texas Twinkies are top shelf. Brisket was good, and the jap cheddar sausage was as well. Birria taco was killer, one of the best I’ve had. Green beans with chorizo was ok but he should commit to cooking the hell out of them southern style and use a different seasoning meat and more onion. The elotes are so rich; they were fine but I dont like heavy sides with bbq.
  20. When you have the ability to eliminate a challenge beast you have to make the move. They should have capped Joe and wussed out. They deserve their fate. David must be having a miserable time at the resort. What a douche.
  21. I roasted a bunch of tomatoes a few days ago. Filled a 9x13 pan with a variety but mostly Campari’s and grape, with a chopped head of garlic a couple of jalapeños, basil, olive oil. Had some leftover so heated up, a couple of eggs nestled in, and covered with a lid. Yolks were still runny, and wife loved it. A play on shakshuka.
  22. All the top chef seasons and the spinoffs like masters and duels is on peacock.
  23. Just get a location list for Dickey’s
  24. Mitch is a wuss. He won’t make a play. He’ll be tossed to the side of the road.
  25. I’ve had this made with Coke, Dr Pepper, Sprite, Fanta oranges, and Tahitian treat. Separately not suicided. An augment loved all dishes made with cokes. (Yes goddam it. Not soda or pop). Coke glaze on ham. Carrots braised in Coke. Barbecue beans with root beer or Dr Pepper. Coke cake. Sprite cake. My wife makes a chicken dish with it fried then smothered with onions and jalapeños in a sauce of Coke and ketchup. it’s very good.
