  1. Never been so I’m talking out of my ass a little, but there are a lot of cool restaurants to choose from that would impress a 23 year old girl. Churrascos may be on that list too but again I dunno never been. Rainbow lodge is another spot I like to hit every once in a while - kindof an exotic menu but it’s unique and I haven’t ever had a bad meal there. Nice wine list and drinks as well. No idea what your general type of go-tos would be though so YMMV
  2. Hugo’s is a favorite of mine. You can hit up anvil first and walk over when it’s time for your reservation.
  3. Even with just a six week old, a lot of fucking truth in there. Especially about them being a new baby every day. We aren’t doing the snoo, and while I’m sure it would’ve been great to get some easier sleep for us early on, I’m glad we won’t have to do any weaning off it later. One thing I’d recommend for anyone is to buy the Taking Cara Babies class… she’s some sleep consultant but she has an online course that walks through getting them to sleep, strategies for fussy babies, and plans for how to extend their sleeping window week by week. We’re at 5.5 weeks and we’ve hit 5-6 hours of sleep a couple of times which is pretty awesome and basically what her schedule tries to get (1 hour of continuous sleep per week after 4 weeks). Your wives will probably get more out of it than y’all but mine has rewatched some of the videos and picked up new tips that have seemed to help. We watched it before having the baby and there’s a little more relevant context after you’ve got a little experience. also, Cara could get it. Crazy eyes and all.
  4. Lol, the best part is they kinda all do. Elton John’s covers are some bangers too.
  5. For @NoName and any of the other soon to be dads, I would recommend starting a playlist if you’re favorite “Rockabye Baby!” songs on Spotify, because you will inevitably need it for the car rides to get them to sleep… a man can only take so much white noise and shusher noise. Everything from the Beatles to Wu tang has lullaby covers by them. another thing… https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Shusher-Babies-Miracle-Soother/dp/B00D2JN87I/ref=asc_df_B00D2JN87I/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198101723026&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9259912645791127596&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9027666&hvtargid=pla-358298711698&psc=1 get one for the diaper bag, one for the car, and one for the house… or just get one and keep it on your person at all times. You will become immune to the white noise eventually but this thing really works.
  6. I would not put it past myself that I need to adopt a better way of doing something. I am a simpleton from East Texas after all.
  7. IMO any new peppers need to be added fresh, not steeped in the liquid. Dice a few raw serranos or a habanero or two in there and it will be noticeable. Also, In my experience chili never hurts from more chipotle peppers
  8. Sure but unless it’s Franklin or I’m trying to get bbq for a bunch of people that’s just such an asshole thing IMO. Nothing against you, and I know it’s probably the “smart” thing to do, but like Omar said, a man got to have a code.
  9. @Patricio Swayzedo you only get bbq during the week? Curious to know how Truths weekend lines are looking after the list. Been a while since I’ve been to Pinkertons and it will probably be my next bbq stop anyway, but I can’t imagine Truth is anything less than a shitshow currently. btw, kinda hate this Texas monthly list. It brings out all the lemmings that clog up the lines at all the best spots. Great for their businesses, bad for me.
  10. Wasn’t he employed here for like a day 10 or so years ago during one of Mack’s shakeups, before saying peace out and going back to the NFL? Kinda did us dirty if my memory is correct.
  11. *When she clappin the booty on top and you bout to nut too early*
  12. I was told college football plays would never work in the NFL
  13. Seems to me like he didn’t keep word from getting out, hence the current curfuffle he finds himself in.
  14. Have these been discussed? Surprisingly good for when you need something quick. We just had a baby so stuff like this has been clutch. Normally like to oven heat stuff like this but the crisp sleeve works pretty well for microwave. Also sold in chorizo, brisket, or potato egg and cheese apparently, but I’ve never had them. 325 cal per 2 flautas which was also surprising to me.
  15. A whole lot of sorry if already posted, but: also, a friend of mine that writes in Hollywood had this to say: update: almost the whole union camera crew had walked because conditions were so unsafe. Heard the fatal shot was the FOURTH time the gun had accidentally misfired. Non-Union prop master was 19 baldwin was a producer. He may be furked.
  16. How much sand do you keep stored in your vagina? Stick to RGV football, it’s the only thing you may know more about than other posters on this entire website.
  17. If I can tell on myself, I’d say that I grew up a rangers fan full stop. My dad is from Ft Worth , and growing up in NE Texas the ballpark in Arlington was a 2 hour drive vs 4 to Houston, so it made sense. I’m college rooted like hell for the rangers to win the series (twice) but was left with heartache. I moved to Houston after college and my second year here they won the whole thing and I swear that parade and the drunken stupor after changed my whole mindset. It’s been so damn fun living in this city the past several Octobers. Took my newborn in the stroller this afternoon and my whole neighborhood was out and about in Astros gear, handing out beers on the way to their watch parties. I love this city, and I love the Astros. Fuck the haters let’s win us a fucking trophy baby!
  18. Bumfuck East Texas high school 2007: etex, looks like you have some (admittedly weak at the time) facial hair that isn’t a creepy mustache and your hair covers your ears. Time for you to go to the bathroom with this pair of construction paper scissors and a one blade razor! this, and a couple shitty teachers (as well as being able to transfer and end up #2 in my class/auto UT entry) led me to switching high schools midway through but what a load of shit. Fuck all of that. I’ve got my own personal issues with stuff like this, but really, what’s the issue? If a kid smells bad or has terrible hygiene that’s one thing, but this mostly sounds like good ol boys being good ol boys.
  19. Made an oopsie posting this in the wrong thread, but figured it’s getting time to start this one back up. Plus, I put beans in my chili. Last weekend was the first good chili weather weekend in Houston, so I had to make a pot. I decided that other than eating it as frito pie, my second favorite (ok maybe my first favorite) way of eating chili is to plop down a couple of corn tortillas heated in a pan, fry a couple of eggs to where they’re still runny, and top with a hefty portion of chili and cheese. I call it Redneck Benedict… it would maybe be my death row last meal.
