    she is hot for sure. they are doing their best to keep her from looking that way in this show, which is well and good. this east coast, working class, southie kinda life doesnt look good in any movie or show.

    so you're for abolishing the police unions?

    to each his own. i dont like skin on fish. that's there the fishy taste comes from.

    the eye clearness is a good test, as is the redness of the gills. third test is smell. heb does a great job of time stamping and quality control so i'm sure it's good. its easy to skin a snapper. no need to scale it.
  5. thrillhammer
    because it's mgp?
  6. thrillhammer
    yeah, i didnt word that right. those three $25-30 kentucky bourbons are better quality than any texas bourbon other than garrisons. i only meant that when see a texas bourbon on the shelf you have the same meh response as when you see those three.

    had to go almost to page three to find a thread about immigration. i'm being told there is a border crisis. is there a border crisis?

    what do you mean? they are harvesting oysters in galveston and matagorda bays. last i heard only half the areas are closed in galveston bay to let them grow up to size.

    he's missing about 20 from his texas bourbon collection. i'm in the minority on this board in thinking texas bourbons aren't terrible, they just arent noteworthy. i would rate them with any of the value kentucky bourbons like elijah craig, buffalo trace, or makers mark. they're good for $25-30.

    agreed. it would take a case of the right two to equal one bottle of the left two.

    thrillhammer replied to ftf82's topic in Austin

    i lived near 33rd and guadalupe for many years during the 80's. hillberts on 33rd and lamar was a staple at my place, at least twice a week i picked up or they delivered. yes, owner is a fantastic guy, and his whole family worked there. his daughter was running the cameron location last time i was there.

    I tried Wild June a few years ago and it was absolutely horrible. And I thought I celebrated gin's entire catalog. i didnt think it was horrible, but it was nothing noteworthy. i would put it up there with the waterloo and revolution local gins. i had to try it since ft davis is near and dear to my heart, and she was working at the mcdonald observatory i believe was the story. i supported her cause with one purchase. actually two, her other one is called checkerbark and i bought that one too. tasted the same as wild june to me.

    why not just keep cucumbers in your fridge? i do keep multiple bottles of gin in my house, and have bought a couple of hendricks in the past (the regular and the orbium), i just dont foresee buying it again.

    not near as funny as last season. the kids are flat, the wife is flat. martin freeman and his parents are leading the way so far this season. still worth following this season, just more of a drama than it was at first.
  15. thrillhammer
    disagree. gin is flavored vodka as much as bourbon or rum are. vodka is grain alcohol. has no flavor. all other spirits get their flavor from their process and ingredients. my point about flavored gin was that, though i love a cucumber-flavored gin and tonic, i dont want that flavor every time i have a gin and tonic. that's why i dont buy hendricks.
  16. thrillhammer
    i have that exact knife. it's my edc. a little bulky for my pocket but a great quality knife.

    dvr set for the season

    old raj is good shit. great for martinis. i like hendricks okay but dont like the idea of flavored gin. I think i posted this on the other gin thread, but there's a UT botany professor that picks juniper berries from the Davis Mountains and ships it off to Washington to make gin. There are two of them and I can't recall the names. Wild June seems to be one of them. They're decent and quite affordable.

    sorry, i forgot bardstown is distilling, just not been doing it for that long. i was thinking they were blenders for some demented reason.
  20. thrillhammer
    get both. all the bardstown is worth tasting, fusion or discovery. they're doing interesting stuff as ndp's. they've kind of bypassed the barrel folks. woodford double-oaked is also an excellent bourbon. not a collectors bottle, but a great drinker.

    i'm quite sure there is a thread on this already. but hey, if there were 20 threads about oysters i would post on all of them. fine by me. i'm a huge oyster fan. on the halfshell is a part of my every new years eve. sometimes i fry some new years day for bowl game watching. I hate meuniere sauce, cocktail sauce is the way to go. something magic happens when you combine ketchup, horseradish, black pepper, lemon juice, and tabasco. Just this past january i came across an old recipe for louis sauce. it reminds me of something from the 50's and even earlier. you can probably google it. it's basically cocktail sauce with a little mayo added. i made it for boiled shrimp, but it would be perfect for fried oysters. it's kind of pricey, but like onboard said, shucking oysters can be a bitch. this company has a great idea. would be a classy touch for a party. https://www.austinoysterco.com/

    is this years balmorhea out already? i got it last year at total. let me know if you've heard of any in the austin area please.

    conservative logic is more voters means less chance of winning. limiting voters means better chance of winning. instead of adopting policies that are popular and would win elections, their only chance is to rig the elections instead.

    both the kids were stellar. martin freeman's parents too. very funny show. looking forward to the new season.
