  1. This has been discussed already but I cant fucking stand the whole "guess what" bullshit.  My wife and I are expecting a baby boy in the next few weeks and she had a doctors appointment today where they got the baby's estimated weight.  I get this text message:

    Her:  OMG GUESS WHAT???

    Me:  What?

    …..30 minutes pass....

    Me:  ???

    ...15 minutes pass...

    Me (calls her):  What is going on?  Everything ok?

    Her:  Sorry I was on the phone with my sister.  The baby weighs over 7 lbs!

     

    Drives me crazy.  Just tell me that initially - don't make me guess then not respond.

  2. Hopkinshorn inspired me to try bread. I’ve got a machine but it doesn’t put out anything near what HH posted. Making bread led to trying pizza. The pizza sauce led to making some tomato soup (Babish’s recipe w/ grilled cheese “croutons”). Definitely need some work across the board but not 100% disappointed with final products. Plates/bowls were cleaned. b0a14aefcc6c90db5153f583741fd6c8.jpg7d58f8d87f21b6ef8e4dbc5a0579a8d2.jpg5ee80fd01edd1b96b0bf9498d25da4b0.jpgaadc359f5e1eae7754563f73edd4124a.jpgb080c7c42ad42732cb288106124dc3b1.jpg837cef1b6c77e49a3150c8da0fbec337.jpg708655990d42f6af22a8feee06c6d2e2.jpg48d73851ee5176e1179db67224301cd6.jpg

  3. Awesome.  "I'm really not into dreams anymore, OK?  I'm into fuckin' nightmares.  You guys with me on that?  You've got to end somebody's dream.  You gotta take their job.  You gotta take their heart.  You guys clear about this NFL shit now?" 

     

    That had me ready to run through a brick wall.

    what’s your opinion on using mayo on the bread instead of butter to get that golden brown?  spreading mayo on instead of butter and frying that side of the bread.  I’ve never done it, and only became aware of it after reading it on a shaggy thread.  but apparently some people say it’s better, and not because they’re anti-butter.  they just say it’s better.

    My big question is do you really taste the mayo? I’ve heard it’s awesome but I fucking hate mayo.

  5. Not sure where to put this but I had some life-changing cheese enchiladas at Juan in a Million yesterday.

  6. Big Sur - we stayed at Treebones Resort and absolutely loved it. No cell service and we didn’t mind that one bit. Had probably the best culinary experience of our lives at The Sushi Bar (at Treebones). You’ll need a reservation if you go and I highly recommend you do. Great view of the pacific.

    Also recommend you try Nepenthe in Big Sur. Great views and a nice place to relax with a few drinks.

    Carmel - only went here briefly (played pebble beach) but get breakfast at Katy’s place. I got a dungeness crab omelette there - it slammed and went hard.

    Haunters Documentary is insane. I’ve heard about extreme haunts like McKamey Manor for years but this doc was crazier than I expected.

    Watched this not too long ago - pretty damn good.  McKamey Manor doesn't strike me as a "scare" though.  It's basically torcher and beating the shit out of you

  8. Echoing the sentiment of most people here.  One of the best miniseries I’ve ever seen.  Loved that finale.  I was worried they would leave it up to the viewer to research but they closed it out nicely.  Bravo.

    Oh, that's right, Private Pyle... don't make any fucking effort to get to the top of the fucking obstacle!  If God wanted you up there I am sure he would have miracled your ass up there by now, Private Pyle.

     

    I'll bet if there was some pussy up there on top of that obstacle, you could get up there

  10. Only been to ABGB once but thought the pizza was okay.  Something I'd go back for but we live in Leander so not worth the drive.  If we venture south for pizza it is Bufalina or Home Slice.  

    PHP was my vote strictly for the beer and pizza rolls.  The fact that Electric Jellyfish is available at Burnet and Round Rock makes it the clear winner.  Their pizza is garbage but I could smash those pizza rolls all day.
