  1. Damn. An Okie gringo (me) starts a nacho jihad. I always knew I’d be remembered for something…
  2. I’ll throw in two cents for Goodnight book. I’m re-reading the book now as I have a trip planned to camp up in the northeast New Mexico/southeast Colorado mesa country in coming weeks on my way to retrieve the kid from camp. Fantastic book. Possibly my favorite historical book on this area of the country. While a great deal of the book and Goodnight’s history took place in Texas, large sections of this book detail his pioneering of cattle drives up through New Mexican and Colorado, all the way to Wyoming. After reading this book, you see that Larry McMurtry ‘borrowed’ a great deal from this book for the foundation of Lonesome Dove. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the historical Southwest. Photo I took about twenty years ago of Charles Goodnight’s grave out on the high plains:
  3. Have fun! The only advice I’d give is buy your groceries at Costco in Hawaii. There one right by Kahului Airport. Pricing is fairly close to mainland while the smaller Hawaiian groceries will be outrageous. Maui has some great farmers markets too.
  4. Well, at least we now know why Bob Bowlsby retired.
  5. Harry was such a great dude. A little known fact - he grew up in Hollis, OK and was close friends with Darrell Royal. I believe he told me his older brother was Coach Royal’s age. I miss Harry. Not many like him anymore.
  6. How convenient. 99.9999% of OU fan base feels the same about ever playing OSU again. Arkansas will be a nice replacement game in November.
  7. Tren Griffin tweeting about conference realignment and media rights. That’s something I didn’t see coming. 🤣
  8. The media aspects of this round of realignment will be very interesting to follow. I’ve been wondering when Apple and Amazon will make a play for college sports rights.
  9. Mandel is the dumbest SOB in college sports media.
  10. I have a feeling this whole realignment thing is about to shift into high gear for those outside the SEC or B1G.
  11. I got the XX chili for this plate. I’m in complete agreement on the individual nacho construction method as vastly superior to piled mess nachos so commonly seen today. Take note on the above young padawans…
  12. Work trip back to Austin this week and a plate of Freida’s Enchiladas at the Chili Parlor: Probably my fav enchilada plate in Austin in the post Dart Bowl era. You shouldn’t pass up Pepe’s Nachitos either - about as old school as you can get. Serranos are so damn delicious. This is the way.
  13. On another note, I’ve been meaning to post the following - if any of you that are up in Tulsa on business that enjoy New Mexican food, need to try La Tertulia on 2nd Street in downtown Tulsa. It’s damn near as good as some of my favorites in Santa Fe and Taos: https://www.latertuliarestaurant.com
  14. Goldie’s Patio Grill at 61st and Sheridan is not too far off your route. Big parking lot with plenty of room for a trailer too. Goldie’s is a small chain that’s been in Tulsa for years. Unfortunately, several stores closed during pandemic but this one is still top notch.
  15. I’m kicking myself as I’ve driven by Melvin dozens of times the past ten years, coming and going to New Mexico and friends’ ranches. Alas, I may plan a road trip next spring to fish O.H. Ivie and plan some dinners at Jacoby’s. I’m still pissed they put all those windmills on Brady Ridge. MFers. Love that area of Texas.
  16. This is the way. Every CFS aficionado should make a pilgrimage to Strawn. Mount Everest of CFS.
  17. Mmmmm. Del Rancho. I wish we had one in Tulsa as the closest one is in Tahlequah.
  18. Matt’s CFS with Green Sauce slams and goes very hard (photo circa 2017, hopefully one of you bastards will order this and take a pic since I’m 400+ miles away from south Lamar now, and please tell my favorite waiter Joe hello from his Okie friend):
  19. I’ve had hamburger steak, calf fries, and cheeseburger there but not TexMex. I bet it is great.
  20. Mmmm mmmmmm. CFS at Mary’s. It’s been way too long. Everything at Mary’s is badass.
  21. I’d you make it to Laguna, hit Top of the World park for a hike. Winter pics from a couple of years ago:
  22. Man…….Dart Bowl. Dart. Bowl. One of my favorite spots in my 14 years in Austin. To me, it was the absolute tippy, tip top of old school Tex Mex enchiladas. Yes, there are onions on this order.
  23. Way back in the pre-marriage/kids days, I used to live in Heath, TX and my neighbors who were originally from the Rockwall area introduced me to Boots Burger. It’s this tiny place in the middle of a neighborhood just northeast of the Rockwall town square that you could only pick up a bag of burgers. It was like stepping back in a time warp into the 1950/1960s era. Just looked it up on Google maps and I’m happy to see that it looks like Boots is still serving fantastic, greasy burgers in a paper sack:
  24. El Rancho Grande (established 1950) in Tulsa with some legit goodness:
