I had to google foot golf. I had never heard of it. Fucking soccer on a golf course.

Watching the tape delay now. These women have an amazing short game.
-
Same here for the potatoes. And because I like both cream and brown gravy, I get my CFS with cream gravy on half it and brown gravy on the other half. Then I dip individual bites of the steak in ketchup.

Houston/SE Tex country music fans loved him. He still holds the record for most performances at the HLSR with 33. At UT I had several friends from Dallas Jesuit who went to school with his son, Dion. They would bring him to our frat parties in the early 80’s. Nice guy.

Always solid. -
My last batch of tamales. I make 15-20 dozen for friends and family each Christmas.
-
Maybe this belongs in the unpopular opinions thread. I’ve always loved Collin St. fruit cake.

The first time I experienced sweet tea was in the deep South in the late 90’s. It’s big in Mobile, AL. They always ask if you want sweetened or unsweetened. It was not a thing in Texas until fairly recently.

Even Spec’s on Smith St had it in stock today.

Tito’s and Fresca with a splash of cranberry juice.

Eight dozen are steaming now. I’m half way through my annual ritual of making tamales for Christmas gifts for friends.

All I Want For Christmas is You by Vince Vance. It’s a different song than the one sung by Mariah Carey.

And all my TVs are Samsungs with a Roku device. Airplay works fine.
-
Because Roku does not (yet) support HBO Max I’m casting from my iPhone to the Roku TV via Airplay. So far it works fine.
-
Taken seriously? You mean as in a celebration of the birth of Christ? Ok, Ebenezer.
-
The silly songs are horrible. Toss up between the hippopotamus song and the one about grandma getting run over by a reindeer.
-
I was at Springsteen’s concert at the Summit in December 1978 and he sang it. Unexpected at the time but it was great. O Holy Night is probably my favorite. Pretty much any version but Josh Groban’s is my recent favorite.

There is a fine line between browned but still chewy bacon and the dark browned bacon that breaks into a bunch of little pieces when you bite into it. The latter is terrible and the former is glorious.

So was the shooter about 40 yards from you or less?

No way Hugh Grant’s bad ass lawyer puts the wife on the stand. She would have read the 911 transcript as well as her police interview. The mother in law story about the death of the sister might have been new but the rest of the cross examination would have been foreseen. The lawyer would not have risked the waiver of the spousal privilege.

By the way, it looks fantastic. I would nail that gumbo.
-
Am I the only guy that scrapes the sides of the pot as it cooks?

So long as you know it’s salted then go ahead and add salt to the stock. Otherwise, it’s like salted butter. If you aren’t careful you can over salt a dish. I think it’s easier to not salt my stock so I can more easily control the salt content of the final dish.

I had a SWG and travertine coping and decking and had no issues. I sealed it every year and occasionally washed it down with fresh tap water. I would not have another pool without a SWG. I would choose the building materials around the SWG and avoid all sandstone. With the SWG and the Polaris 280, I didn't need a pool man. The only thing I had to buy was a bag of salt each year or so (only because of splash out and rain) and some muriatic acid every month or two--the SWG naturally causes pH to rise. Whatever you do, add borates. It makes the water feel and smell great and generally helps stabilize the chemistry of the pool.
