  1. Yeah...my momma and grandmas soaked beans, I'mma soak beans.  It's not like it takes a lot of effort -- put beans in pot the night before you want to cook them and....let them soak.
    I have made a batch or two in the Instant Pot using the "no soak" method, and they cook really fast (like, total cook and rest time of less than 90 mins?), but it is really hard to get the amount of liquid right, as it doesn't cook down much and concentrate the flavors.  It works if you want to "cook beans fast."  It's not so great if you want to make a delicious pot of beans.

    Don’t cook in the soak water. The quick soak works where you boil the soak for a couple minutes and take off heat and soak a few hours.

    I will start with a chopped onion and garlic, sweat them in bacon fat, then add smoky ham and get a little Maillard and fat rendered, add a ham bone from the freezer, add water and make a broth. Then add the beans. Season as you wish as you cook.

    Obviously it’s best with pintos but works with black beans or blackeyes. Does not work with the abominable red kidney bean which is a spawn of Satan.

  2. I realize that this isn't a "Shit HEB doesnt sell" thread, but whatever. Has anyone else noticed that these diced Chipotles have become really, really hard to find? Like Sriracha hard to find?

    None of my HEBs have had them for months, and the last time I found some it was in a grocery store in Wimberley, and they were the last two jars. Plenty of other full pepper/canned variety. Just not these pre-chopped motherfuckers. Which are my go to mix with shredded chicken. 

    Heb mansfield aisle 6. Tom Thumb has them. Walmart has dropped them, and is out of all Dukes Mayo products. As a concern from your post I ordered 2 jars from Tom Thumb.

    I think there are some weird issues with certain brokers/ distributors.

    These are essential and the only chipotles I use because the canned ones are a pain in the ass and wasteful.

  3. For what? Go watch it on peacock, or don’t. It’s just various commentary like Sandy covering her ass for not firing jono and Ellie blaming Aesha for everything wrong I. Her life.

  4. I wish they’d go back to at least 30 days. And do away with some of the really complex immunity plays; it’s like Dr Pepper poker. And have the gross food challenge and the food auction.

  5. First, fry at a lower temperature. Second, you could fry the chicken in oil to the crispiness of your liking (even if it's not up to temp) and then finish in the oven. The downside of that is you lose a bit of crispiness. But to remedy, you could keep the oil hot while the chicken is in the oven and then flash-fry for like 30  seconds right before serving. 
     

    I like these suggestions. The double fry idea is intriguing. I wonder if instead of a regular oven , putting in the air fryer instead.

    The more I look at it this project will wait until I retire. I believe it’s like golf; you gotta play at least once a week to be decent. I won’t do that. Too much mess. I’ll just stick with doing chicken fried chicken.
  6. For those that are bean ignorant, if you are using dry beans of any type you need to sort them. It’s quick but you don’t want to bite down on a rock. I also remove broken beans, split beans, and gnarly looking ones. Wash them as well. They are raw ag products and tend to have some dirt and insect parts in that bag.

    It’s a shame Texas children aren’t taught how to make a pot of pinto beans, a mess of collards, and corn bread before they graduate high school. If the shit goes down knowing how to make dry beans edible, turn weeds into food, and making corn bread might be the key to survival like it was in 1866.

  7. I've only had this in the "Dutch Baby" version:

    It's really good and thin on the bottom.  Not too heavy, and served with powdered sugar, butter, and lemon.
    I'm definitely going to try the recipe you posted.  That looks tremendous.

    That’s how I like them. Butter, a shitload of powdered sugar, lots of lemon. I’ve put lemon zest into the batter that makes it a bit more lemony. It all combines into a fantastic lemon syrup . And cast iron adds to the pancake.

  8. Back in the day I'd put a pack of these in a baking dish with a can or two of wolf brand chili(no beans) and a pack of shredded cheese on top in the oven until the cheese is melted and burritos are cooked through.

    I e thought I about this but never done it. You’ve inspired me to do it with the bag I’ve got in the freezer. I’ll add onions and japs. Maybe some crumbled el patio chips on top.

    See…you’re doing the Lords work. Serving humanity with your culinary creations.
  9. Air fried HEB chicken egg roll + JITB taco sauce. Pretty great snack while packing for Michigan.

    The details are important. Using a paper towel instead of the common paper plate along with repurposed fast food sauce packet moves this from 9.8 to 9.9. A pistol and shot of cheap liquor would move to a 10. Bravo!

  10. We won't have a high pick if Dak is healthy.  We'll be in the middle of the pack worst case.  See, this is a minimum of a 2 year, probably 3 year process...... and that's just to acquire one, then you have to coach em' up and develop them unless you get a rarity.  Additionally, next year's QB class is pretty shitty.  There will always be a guy or two but for the most part, it's not very good.  Other positions are pretty stout including WR and defensively.  You want to get rid of Dak, you best have a better alternative then, we'll see what Lance has or we'll get a journeyman and then see what the draft gets us because that's set up for failure and a cycle of real pain unless they can strike the lottery 3 times in a row.  
    A week to see if this has been solved...
     

    If Dak is playing his usual great regular season self then they’ll end up with a pick in the 18-24 range, likely no place to grab a top prospect and they have no draft capital unless they trade Parsons.

    All three QBs are FAs at end of season. If Dak flames out and leaves for big money elsewhere what do you do with Lance? I think they were showcasing him in preseason hoping he was either somewhat decent to keep around or trade in hopes of getting that 4 pick back. 5 INTs didn’t make that happen and there were tons of qb prospects released and signed as FAs. Lance proved he’s a great athlete with a bad brain.

    Dak leaves and he’s still $40 mil in dead cap so you gotta be cheap in 25.
  11. The sudden ability to add a fourth stew appears to be a producer trick to fuel Ellie’s raging paranoia. Shes about to go full Captain Queeg. Hilarious.

    Other than that dilution of tip money she should be overjoyed at getting help. Instead, she’s triggered at every step. She knows how to tend bar! The guests love her! She knows food! She does laundry! Loved her talk with Aesha when she got teed up and then skullfucked.

    The right looks so much better. Please make it happen

    Besides the gray pants, killing the Royal trim and going navy numbers and trim is much better.

    And use this font on the navy jersey numbers.
  13. Elko is approaching Bert Bielema fat. Wonder if he also eat dicks 

    Elko is in the early Bielema at Arkansas stage. Fat but trying to appear presentable. He’s not lecturing other coaches like Bert was and he doesn’t have the hot wife to show off.

    But he’s on the trajectory. Bert thought his big 10 raising would dominate in the sec and he failed. Soon he was barely involved. Hated the heat so would give o linemen days off. Was closing Fayetteville bars. Getting fatter. By the end he’d be on the sidelines looking like he’d spent the winter sleeping inside a dead moose.

    Elko this is your SEC Aggy future.
