  1. I *think* there's one going in at the new development off ella/34th area in Houston soon. I vaguely recall seeing that posted on the construction spot.  (This is by the newest fat cat creamery spot)

     

     

  2. I guess the most suprising thing I've read on here the past couple of days or so is HG is married. 

    Little boy finished up his summer season last weekend so I'll be able to follow along a lot more closely than I have, crazy how priorities change. Ine thing does change though is fuck bud selig and the yankees

  3. checking in - 100% mexican-american. my mom's family was raised in Palacios, but she was born in Mission. Both my grandparents were born in Mexican and eventually immigrated to Texas. Didn't know my grandfather left my grandmother in Mexican after they were married until he had enough money to send her and bring her over to Texas, eventually settling in Palacios. Dad was born in Alice with his parents also born in mexico before eventually settling down in mexico.

    most posters on here who know me call me the whitest mexican they know - I grew up in Sugar Land, and didn't really speak much spanish growing up, really having no desire to learn it. call it stupid, but growing up where I did, for some reason, I felt ashamed of being a "mexican". I tried to shy away from it, especially when I was younger.  This really bothered me as I grew up in that all my grandparents only really spoke spanish and I had very little, to limited conversations with them and that sucks as I look back. My wife (also 100% mexican) had grandparents who spoke both english and spanish and I had more conversations with them than I did my own and that's one thing I regret. Now, I embrace everything about it and and want both my boys to be proud of their mexican heritage and accept it and not give a fuck what others thing. I don't really know the point of this post but just a little about me.

    I don’t know shit about latino food that isn’t Mexican or Tex-Mex, really need to expand my horizon. Mexico is the only foreign country I’ve ever been to and there are not many other types of Latinos in south Texas. Lot of Central Americans move through but they’re usually just trying to keep a low profile on their way to wherever they’re going. My favorite breakfast food is machacado, and my favorite dish ever is chicken enchiladas. I’m a simple man. That dish you posted does look incredible though. 
     

    I know Houston (fuck the Astros) has a huge & diverse Latin American population, I’ll need to hit some of those restaurants up next time I’m there. What do you think is the largest non-Mexican group is there? Hondurans?

    Yankee haters, definitely Yankee haters

  5. We finished 3-1 last weekend in our first select tournament (7U), not too bad showing for a bunch of kids who've never played together. we only had 2 practices together before we started playing. it was hot as balls but I had so much fun and think the boys did too. I was fucking exhausted from throwing that much back to back but still wouldnt have wanted to be anywhere else than with those kids and my son. Chuy played pretty well - hit lead off for me (something he has never done, usually hits 2nd on his spring season), he's not the fastest kid but he wasn't afraid to be a lead off hitter. 

    Back at it again this weekend and 2 of the next 3 after this weekend, hope we continue to get better.

    And not a bunch of Punch and Judy’s either:

    4th in SLG, 2nd OPS.

     

    yeah, but they've only played the 12 strongest schedule so far!

    Unless you were one of the 5,000 people at some of the Astros games I went to at Minute Maid from 09-13, you have no room to call anyone else bandwagon.  

    I was.
