  1. Anyone watching final table? Kind of a neat “top chef” type deal except they cook in teams, and most of the chefs seem to have known each other previously, even though they’re almost all from different countries around the world. Each episode is a new country with their specific judges/ingredients for the chefs to cook. PrettY interesting if you’re in to cooking shit.
  2. I don’t think anyone here is equating “leverage” and “lowballing”. We’re the by God university of Texas, ain’t you heard all the money that ain’t under the Vatican is located in Austin?

    I haven’t been to Xochi or Caracol, but Hugo’s is probably my favorite restaurant in town. That’s one of my go to’s when we have friends or family in town and want to take them out. Doesn’t hurt that you can get drinks at anvil before moseying over.
  4. Cut a whole chicken in half and smoked it yesterday for dinner. First time to smoke a chicken and it turned out great.
  5. @Dbeasy except i also added two deseeded habaneros and a jalapeno, and my Chipotle’s were fresh instead of dried. I love heat so i could’ve maybe added more chipotle or another habanero, but I fed my wife and several friends that don’t want to hurt while they eat and they all approved. Salted to taste... i used a lot more than the recipe above but it turned out really, really well. I also doubled+ the garlic. Up the spice and salt to your preference but at the very very least this was a great recipe to get me to make my own chili paste or whatever.
  6. I think this turned out just fine... not overly hot but a nice slow burn, at least right now. I added a couple habaneros and a jalapeño so i imagine that will come through more tomorrow but it’s not 9 alarm fire burn a whole through your britches hot. Want to let it sit overnight so we can have it for dinner tomorrow and I’m sure it’ll spice up and thicken up even more but based on a few small tastings this is definitely some of the best I’ve made. Love the recipe.
  7. I am rocking the @jimmyjazz recipe from the last page. I didn’t even see the dried chipotles when I was buying groceries, so I had to add some pre-diced chipotles I had in the fridge (la costena brand, this is great to keep around to add to various sauces chilis etc.) I’m hoping the fresh chipotle instead of dried doesn’t throw it off too much, but after tasting it before and after adding, that’s definitely what was missing.
  8. Man, same here. I’m glad to know it’s not just my wife that watches really stupid tv.
  9. This is not fun anymore.
  10. I had to look up what this even was. My interest is piqued.
  11. Hey hey, ho ho, Tom Herman’s got to go!
  12. My wife makes a kick ass tortilla soup. I like to toss in some crushed up tortilla chips along with the other accoutrements
  13. Thank god this shitshow is almost over and won’t be taking up three nights in my living room anymore.
  14. My wife showed me this lol
  15. Recipe plz
  16. I hope not
  17. My in-laws are in town for the weekend, so we made BBQ shrimp. Cold and windy in Houston tonight. Geaux Cajuns!
  18. Oh my... bookmarking this right here.
  19. Very cool. I will ask, but I’m unsure. I’ve been trying to get him to put out a 40 year anniversary edition with a few newer things he’s done. Maybe now that they’re trying to slow down he can use some of his extra free time. I definitely may have gotten the last copy that’s printed though... mine isn’t even bound properly, i just found all the pages and had to staple them ha. I’ll DM you if I hear otherwise.
  20. No idea what cookbook this came from, but this is what I used/she sent me when I made it last time. It’s really damn easy - much easier and faster to make than a gumbo. I cooked the veggies in a separate pan so I probably ended up using more butter in my roux than this calls for, but it certainly doesn’t hurt this dish.
  21. It’s about 40 pages so I’ll need to find some time to scan it and upload it somewhere but that’s doable.
  22. I told my wife there’s no way a girl that hot is that single unless she’s THAT crazy. I don’t care enough to stick around but from the bits and pieces I’ve seen while she’s watching you can’t convince me I’m wrong.
