I have one more meal on my long wknd trip—where should I go for brunch or lunch tomorrow? Anywhere from Carmel by the sea to San José. Would love a piece of fresh fish, but doesn’t have to be fish as I’m pretty sure my husband is out of his little individual serving packets of Tony Chachere, and we don’t have any Crystal with us either.

It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.

Yes just a new partition wall. It does have a decent header already. Just need to finish framing it out.

no idea what happened there on the quote. it won't let me edit for some reason.

I had planned on getting my framer to frame out the frame since I’m building the wall from scratch. Will that work?

I think I answered my own question for #3. The length of the running track must be shorter than the diagonal clearance (P2) by at least 80 mm (3 5/32''). LMB = inside clearance LMH = inside height STB = sliding door width P2 = diagonal clearance LS = running track

I linked the wrong Hawa Junior in my post earlier.

can someone mansplain how to order a pocket-door system to me? I want to spend more for pocket door hardware that actually works, so I'm considering the Hawa Junior. Any opinions on this? I'm also getting varying info on what size door my tiny wall can accommodate. I have 57.5" from stud to stud--does that mean I have to use a 24" door or is it possible a 28" door could work? The pre-drilled upper track comes in 55.125" and 63". Is the 55" big enough for the 57.5" opening or should I buy the bigger one and find someone to cut it down?

Loved every minute except the hokey, entirely superfluous space war narrative. The rocket entrance was cool—leave it at that. The rest was super cringey and commercialized. They rocked. It was loud and amazing. In retrospect, my mom was right: Only in Dreams was a little hard for my wedding ceremony recessional.

I don’t buy shrimp from papa jazzy, though. They are giant and tasty, but Idk why, they are impossible to peel. raw, bbq, or lowcountry style.

John williams in Killeen aka papa jazzy. I used to meet him in the strip club parking lot but now he will deliver to me in temple. He’s the greatest. I’ve had only one crab die in five years.

In the cooler months we are making red beans and rice and/or shrimp étouffée on a heavy rotation. I actually had some custom flight boards made for my little bowls so you can eat gumbo, red beans and étouffée all at once with some crusty bread, Zesta crackers, and a simple salad. My HEB reliably gets fresh gulf shrimp weekly now, gulf snapper a couple times a month, and my crab guy is like clockwork too now that he quit his food truck business. I NEVER used to eat shellfish or fish in central Texas and now I do all the time! I pay through the nose for it, but it’s good!

dang! missing two ingredients! i use all the green parts from one bunch; no white parts because it doesn't really have time to soften. I also cut back on the tomato paste because I use the cento double concentrated tomato paste tube. I also devein the shrimp for étouffée, though Treebeards doesn't (and I don't devein for gumbo). Shrimp is really the star here, and I take time to devein in this.

In gumbo, cooked white rice is added separately when served.

Yes. In jambalaya the raw rice and broth are cooked together with the fond.

Gumbo is stew/soup. Jambalaya is a paella style rice dish.

Ah I’ll try on web, tapa edit button expires pretty quickly.

Looks like I’m missing 1/2 c flour from the ingredients list.

I’m a SETX girl, so I love treebeards. not really Nola style, definitely not bayou style, but it’s my favorite! TREEBEARDS’ SHRIMP ETOUFFEE This butter-based dish is loaded with vegetables and shrimp in a sauce lightly accented with cayenne pepper. 1 cup butter 2 2/3 cups celery, chopped into ½ - inch pieces 1 bell pepper, chopped into ½ - inch pieces 1 ¼ teaspoons salt 1/8 rounded teaspoon cayenne pepper ¾ scant teaspoon black pepper ¾ scant teaspoon garlic powder ¾ scant teaspoon thyme 2 cups boiling water mixed with 1 teaspoon shrimp base* 1/8 teaspoon liquid crab boil ½ teaspoon hot sauce 4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped 4 teaspoons tomato paste 2 pounds Treebeards’ shrimp In heavy 5-quart Dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add celery, onions and bell pepper. Stirring occasionally, cook until vegetables are soft; about 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix spices, shrimp base broth, crab boil, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside. When vegetables are soft, add flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add spice mixture; continue to cook for 5 minutes more. Stir in green onions, parsley and tomato paste and simmer until vegetables are tender. Add shrimp and cook only until shrimp are heated through. Serve over hot rice. SHRIMP BASE A few recipes in this book call for shrimp base. It can be found in Asian grocery stores or in gourmet sections of larger grocery stores. However, if you cannot find this ingredient, do not omit it from the recipe. Instead, follow these instructions for dry boiling the shrimp to produce the same results. Then use the drippings as indicated below, and then shrimp to replace the Treebeards Shrimp recipe. Vegetable or olive oil ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper ¼ teaspoon garlic powder 1 pound peeled shrimp 2 tablespoons vinegar In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, add just enough oil to cover bottom of skillet, and heat until oil is hot. Sprinkle the spices over the shrimp. Add vinegar and seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook, tossing frequently, just until the shrimp are opaque. Remove skillet from heat and cover with tight fitting lid. Cool for 15 minutes. Remove shrimp with slotted spoon and reserve drippings. Mix 3 tablespoons of drippings en each cup of water called for in the recipe.

Texas power guide is nothing magic—basically exactly the same thing as Davidgs spreadsheet he built. But it would take forever to look up EFLs and input all the plans yourself. IIRC it can’t do anything like night and weekends or bonuses or anything.
