  1. Lots of verdad here.  Good and browned.  Then let it set, those rice grains do pop open like popcorn, makes the whole batch super fluffy.
    And leftover rice stirred together with leftover enchilada gravy and cheese is it's own beautiful gift from the heavens.

    When in college in 70’s Memphis a TexMex joint had a starving student lunch.. for $1 you got a plate of Mexican rice, enchilada gravy, and some cheese and onions. The waiter usually gave me multiple baskets of chips and salsa and good queso (back then most places in Memphis brought queso free)

    Chinese places had a $1 lunch deal back then too. A steakhouse had greens, pot likker, corn bread, green onions, iced tea for $1.
  2. Came here to see if the Zeke BS was posted.
    Then I was mildly surprised there's not a "2024 Offseason thread" -- only to realize that it's perfect, including this Zeke story.
    Just one continuous clusterfuck of season, offseason, drafts, hirings, rehashing the same shit and Jerry mismanaging the fuck out of this franchise yet continuously printing money off multiple generations going to games and buying merchandise.
    Move to rename the thread and just leave it forever as:
    20xx Dallas Ouroboros': Deja Vu All Over Again

    Zeke is done. 2420 touches and soon to be a worn out 29 years old. The nfl brick wall for RBs is 1500 touches and 27 years old.
  3. Yeah I don't think any of these Spring leagues will see success until they figure out a way to tweak the rules to allow scoring with bad QB play.  Because the QBs are always going to be bad.  
    San Antonio does a good job of supporting these teams relative to the other cities, they play today at 11 central at the Alamodome.

    I’d run the fucking wishbone and make folks stop it, if I can find a triple option QB.

  4. I flipped over to the Michigan stylus game . Unlike the old USFL- WFL leagues the level of play is pretty weak. Coaching as well.

    I want to like this football but these are basically the 90-114 best QBs out there, if that good.

  5. [mention=5553]Herbie Hancock[/mention] or anyone else ever been here by the Ballpark? 
    Bigotes, 1821 E. Abram St., has something you can’t find almost anywhere else: unlimited Tex-Mex. For about $12 at lunch until 4 p.m. weekdays and $13 for lunch or dinner Fridays and Saturdays, you get all the cheese enchiladas, crispy tacos and chalupas you cat eat (no substitutions). It’s a great legacy restaurant with 36 years of history. There’s also breakfast daily from 8 a.m.

    I ate there once a few years back. I didn’t like it. The place wasn’t very clean. The cheese enchiladas were just bad, having that dreaded “cooked earlier then reheated” hard cheese log inside. The watery chili gravy sucked so bad i didn’t give them another chance.
  6. I love that there was this fantasy they were anything but.

    Later when we moved to DFW, the highend “gentleman’s club” were booming. My coworkers would say “she’s a law student at SMU!” Or “working her way through UNT! She’s a drama/ fashion merch double major!” Uhh I don’t think so.
  7. I used to drink the High Life back in grad school because it was all I could afford. 
    It's basically becoming my wealth barometer...if I ever have drink another it means my life has taken a horrific turn for the worse.

    I understand drinking cheap, but there was always better options back in college.m than a fucking miller. Old Milwaukee was actually good, or you could get Jax or Falstaff, which were putrid but .99 a six pack. My old man splurged on Heileman Old Style which was $1.99 a sixer. It was like a hops soup, blechh.
  8. I’m going to continue to bang the drum for Australia Survivor. I just finished binging season 11 and I’d put it in the top 10 best Survivor seasons. Good cast, gameplay and challenges. The host is fine but he’s no Probst. It’s a long watch though. 24 initial tribemates, 24 episodes, 47 days on the island.  I’m going to move on to season 2 if I can find it. It’s considered the best season of  the Australian series. 

    Where do you watch the AU version?
  9. They really stretched the hype on Miller, the champagne of bottle beer. But you take your sponsor money where you can.

    At the dinner they were drinking it out of old timey champagne glasses. Those aren’t right for beer or for champagne.

    If you watch closely it appears the levels of the Miller bottles remains the same thru all those courses and dishes. Only the comedian and Joe Flamm were drinking it. It always tasted soapy to me. In high school girls loved those Miller ponies. They usually puked before they got drunk enough to fool around.

  10. He’s surely not going to spend his eternity at Shannon rose hill. It’s turned into a really shitty neighborhood. My grandparents and a ton of relatives are there; can’t find them but can drive straight to Oswald. My clients come to town and like seeing it if there’s no time for TSD

  11. It’s all the same show each season. They used to have mostly new crew with just Lee, Kate, and the Brit chef guy as constants. Now it’s all interior drama, charters are just background, and drunken dinners and fucking in the hot tub.

  12. Tiffani is a sore loser.  A bowl of rice is not a guilty pleasure.  You didn't lose to "just a burger."  You didn't meet the challenge.
    And a tie was fun, but I'm glad Jet won the tiebreaker.

    So glad that Amanda won it, and did it smashing the shit out of Tiffani. She’s still the same “I’m not your bitch, bitch” bitch from early TC. The same poor sport she was then who was dropped by TC. “A slicer!” My wife just screamed “you fucking cunt!” Annoying shitpile. Her refusing Guy’s support and refusing his invitation for next year hopefully ends his rehab project for her. She’s a piece of shit.

    That burger Amanda made looked awesome and I would pay her restaurant price to eat it. Tiffani’s rice bowl looked like a $10 dish from any Asian joint near my house. I hope she goes the fuck away.

    Was glad to see Jet take out the Carlos asshole. I gotta say Britt seems to really make clever good food.

    Marc Murphy is a good dude who just makes bad decisions in competition.

  13. I've never heard of the El Chico frozen dinners, but I worked at El Chico through college.  I don't know if it's nostalgia, or just conditioning through eating there so often, but if I could figure out exactly how to make cheese and onion enchiladas with chili con carne gravy, or chicken chimichangas like we served there I would make that shit twice a week.

    I think they lost the license in one of the many sales of el Chico. It then was sold as el Charrito. It was never the correct flavor profile but was close especially for the price. A nooner on Wednesday was $1.99. But you got chips and tea.
  14. Did you ever wonder exactly what mammals you were eating?
    (I'm using the term "mammals" loosely.)

    Nope. I got the cheese enchiladas dinner although the “beef” weren’t bad. I figured the beef came from unused scraps from prisons.
