    Corned beef is horrible. Beef should never be "boiled" in water. Only exception is warming up hot dogs when drunk.

    Exactly what we do and forgot to mention it in my post. Seeing the long line of Suburbans with Thules heading NW up US 84 as we drive home on the day after Christmas was also an ftf82 family tradition.

    Any of the mountains in Colorado or New Mexico are going to be a shitshow with crowds the week between Christmas and New Year. Twenty years ago we decided to start doing Christmas in Angel Fire when my kids were young. We would drive out the week before though. No crowds at all the week before (although sometimes the snow wasn't all that great, but hey it's New Mexico). Wake up Christmas morning and open presents and then ski Christmas Day afternoon. Now it's a family tradition and my kids want to do it with their kids when they are old enough to ski. Highly recommend that approach if it works with your schedule.

    Pizza

    ftf82 replied to blacklab's topic in Austin

    Probably been mentioned, but Jersey Giant Pizza on 71 out by Hamilton Pool Road is very good. Stopped and picked one up coming back from Lake LBJ today. Outstanding as usual.

    Just had a nice 20 minute dump out at Lake LBJ. Looks like another one is coming, too.

    I don't even know why the scientists make them

    Game's on Amazon tonight, right? I'm getting error messages right now with my Prime. Anyone else having issues?

    Supposedly the end result will be only one light between 183/360 (Capital of TX Hwy) and Bastrop after all the work is done. Only remaining light will be at Mopac/360. And sadly this is one of those projects that YGIFS would be able to post several paragraphs on.

    Is Herbert's still the place to go for Tex-Mex in San Marcos?

    if they're going to show the "Catch" they should show the onside kick recovery from the 72 playoffs
  15. ftf82
    The "Catch"? FUCK NBC!

    Marble Falls DQ has steak fingers and tacos. Plus they made the national news with their sign about the eclipse. Also, the Bowie DQ has the best breakfast in Montague County.

    Anyone know what's up with the Deckhands in South Austin changing to Ocean Blue Oyster Bar? Menu looks almost identical to Deckhands still. Dan and Fran's breakup maybe?

    Mexican

    ftf82 replied to Jack Straw's topic in Austin

    Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but went to Fonda tonight. We usually go there maybe once or twice a year. It's a freaking Austin treasure. My sister in law just moved back after living overseas for 12 years so it was a welcome back to Austin dinner. And it hit it out of the park. Wife and I are big mezcal fans and their choices are, well, so choice. And I can't go there without getting the mole, while wife and SIL got the ceviche and shrimp veracruzano. Parking sucks, and there's always a wait. But man that place is so good.

    Burgers

    ftf82 replied to ftf82's topic in Austin

    Another good option since you're in South Austin is Moreno BBQ. They have a couple of burgers on the menu in addition to BBQ, including a smash burger that is really good. Just noticed that they don't have beer/alcohol though.

    They moved last year to the new building constructed on the old Sullivan's lot.
  22. ftf82
    If you haven't been to the new location downtown, I highly recommend it. They did a great job with the build out and it's a fantastic setting. Ask for a table by the window if you make a reservation. And if you get there early enough, hit the bar for a drink or two before hand.

    Drowning (eating?) my sorrows after the game in Norman last night with a Storms' Special at the OG in Lampasas.
  24. ftf82
    In Norman for the Tennessee game. Little appetizer before kickoff. Best steak sandwich in the world.

    Been pouring on and off for the past 2 hours at Horseshoe Bay and more is coming. This water has to go somewhere.
