  1. One of my favorite plates ever is/was the goat dumplings at Underbelly. For Christmas, I got Cook Like A Local, Chris shepherd's book. Tried out the recipe he published.....on point. I was very pleasantly surprised. Required me going to hole in the wall store for fresh Korean Rice Cakes and shit was still worth it.
  2. We consistently entertain a bunch of families and breakfast is 10x easier for us. No pots or pans. Dozen pancakes, lots of bacon, and 8 eggs while enjoying the outdoors (or at least the screened in patio). Been wanting to do crepes though.
  3. Thanks yall. Just logged on and my BTC and ETH I bought a few years ago are in the portfolio. However, I hit the "vault" section and that is empty and asking .e if I want to vault the assets. @GRHorn @Nice Guy EddieWould yall recommend I follow that coinbase trail and pursue the vault? Or is there a better, preferred method? Side story: To understand my dumb thought process...every 1 or 2 years, I put a little bit of money in financially risky shit that is super volatile. And I give it a minimum of 7 years. So thankfully, I read a very little about BTC and ETH in 2017 and said, "I'm in and I won't touch it until 2025." I've been telling people it will be at $0 or it will be at $100,000, who knows. IT took every bit of me in 2018 to not sell at 15k per BTC, or sell just one and play with house money. I learned this sorta duration lesson when I analyzed Netflix after all these LA people (where I lived at time) were constantly harping how it was going to change the entertainment business. I got in very soon after IPO and I tripled my money in a month and sold. Proud of my $15,000 profit! And now, that 15k profit makes me mad just thinking about how different my life would be if I had told myself I ain't selling for a decade no matter what. I'm 3 for 4 at the moment with this strategy but again, all 4 could go to zero since its all based on luck and timing. I've done crypto, biomedicine, cybersecurity, and pot. Pot is the only one I'm losing on so far.
  4. Beyond noob question that I'm even embarrassed to ask....I have a few BTC. Bought them on coinbase. How do I know if they are in the coinbase wallet or if I have them somewhere else? I wrote down my long ass code. And of course, I'm sure you fine strangers are willing to help and are trustworthy so I'll just PM you my code and username later so that you can investigate for me. But first, maybe a broad layman explanation would be a nice first step.
  5. Heresy but I also think Sam was horrific at using audibles. I know he was great interview so not allowed to criticize but damn did he run our RBs into stacked lines. Maybe he wasn't allowed to audible so I should be more forgiving.
  6. Camping or hotels? We are considering this or Yellowstone in June. Have a 5 and 11 year old so long hikes out of question so let me know if you or @Anton Chigurh have any advice given those anchors, I mean, lovely kid situation. We have free, amazing place to stay in park city so could always stay there as a base camp of sorts but I'd love to see some parks.
  7. I simultaneously applaud his love for the Longhorns and am looking forward to the program starting a new QB. Good luck Sam.
  8. Herman lost me when he hugged Mack Brown at his press conference. Sark could have taken a shot and I would have felt better than after that fake, false hug. That hug transferred Mack's inner turtle to Herman. Sit Bijan and make sure Sam gets all the carries because Sam says the right things in front of a microphone.
  9. Starting plans for a treeless treehouse for kids and teenagers. 10'x10' and maybe 6-8 feet high so nothing immense but it's sorta in middle of a ravine that is tricky to haul stuff into so looking to minimize work. My question for the woodworking geniuses...can I get away with 4"x6" posts on each corner or do I have to do 6x6 posts for structural integrity? The 6x6 posts I'm looking at weigh 140 lbs and seeing if 4x6 will still do job while weighing less.
  10. Lateish to the party. This show is legit

    ATV roll call. Thinking of buying one for our little 7 acre ranch and for when we go to beach. Good idea? Bad idea? Is 7 acres even big enough to have an atv? My family and I are definitely not racers nor daredevils (just two daughters, not boys) so if we go forward with this, it would be a basic type like a Honda Recon 250cc. Appreciate any insights or advice to stay the f away.
  12. I am a sucker for a good bowl of red beans n rice with sausage/cheese/onions and cornbread. So that 3x and once got a chicken fried chicken. Cfc was good, not great. I'm trying to get a stuffed pork chop at some point but can't time it right. Ftr, I used to be more regular at ragin Cajun but with this TB much more convenient, hard for me to cross 610 galleria for something similarish. Although must admit, RC cornbread > TB cornbread.
  13. Been to this new treebeards 3 or 4x now. So happy with this new option in the hood. I went last week and texadelphia wasn't open though.
  14. Had early thanksgiving with one side of family. Bought a turkey from Ragin Cajun in houston. Was really surprised at how good it was. Do it if you don't love making the turkey
  15. We have become big fans of making large batch soups once a month. Generally about 20 servings or so and it helps reduce the weekday dinner drama since we freeze so many. Our rotations tends to be Chili (touch soupier than regular chili) Caldo de pollo (lots of veggies) Baked potato soup Red beans n rice (again, touch more soupy) All recipes are now to the "I'd pay for that" level. Though making chicken stock at home needs to be added, apparently.
  16. Agree on making rice night before. To your recipe, i added - chopped onions and Poblano peppers - more garlic - ginger - sesame oil - frozen peas and carrots - chopped ginger -pork I've done pork both times and super pleased. Going to do pork again one more time to just perfect and move on to shrimp.
  17. Seems like its fried rice season. I just made my second batch and it's pretty darn good. Key is lots of ginger and sesame oil. Also tried my first onion volcano. I'd call it UT football 2020, maybe 2011. My 4 year old was so excited and so underwhelmed. My goal is to maybe get to 2008 levels next time as I address my far too light touch on the rum. I have 36 inch and the cover and recommend both. in central Tx and no issues (so far). Spend extra $100 for 36 inch, won't regret it.
  18. Southwell's is a solid 8 every time. Never a 9, never a 6.
  19. Anyone been to Welcome, Tx store near Industry on 109? I'veve passed it so many times but never at a time where I'm hungry and it looks like it serves an old time burger (from the outside).
  20. That's right. I've always negotiated it away. So for 100k home (easy math), I offer 97.5k, lets say. Originally, home seller would net 94k by paying 6% in 3/3 split. This way, they net higher and i pay lower amount. Win win. The con to this is a realtor can show you many homes in 3-4 hours. My way, I've had to deal with logistics and could never see lots of homes in one day. More scattered. But well worth it in my view. Also, avoid flat paint. Cheaper but you'll regret it!
  21. Ask enough questions from your realtor that this is the last time you use a buy-side realtor. I was advised to never use a realtor when I first bought a home but I still did because was a bit hesitant. I realized I did most of work and analysis. I've bought a few homes without one since.....no issues and saved lots of $.
  22. Should have added this to message above but has anyone done minor tuneup to cylinder block pier and beam foundation and if so, how much did it cost?
  23. ouch. Was this for major issues? I just bought a house that has minor shifting and looking for a tuneup. Someone said it would be 1,500 or so and that is a huge departure from 35k!
  24. Live in spring branch, had driven by this place many times on way to banh mi n more (recommend) and finally swung by. Got tacos and a baked potato. I'd say good, well priced, not fantastic, but convenient. Good enough as a lunch place that it is now added to my rotation for sure. Habanero cream sauce is legit.
  25. Nope. Did steaks and came out well.
