THE NIGHTHAWK AND THE BLUESHAWK https://forum.gibson.com/topic/122756-nighthawk-blueshawk/

It’s the pollening here in Raleigh and we’re getting our asses kicked. It reminded me of this - one year, my wife was just tired all the time. Constantly napping, I think she went to a doctor to find out if something was wrong with her, it was this forever ongoing thing. At some point, I took some Benadryl and said “probably going to sleep well tonight” or something like that, and she gets this serious look on her face and asks why I said that. Apparently she didn’t know that Benadryl caused drowsiness and had been taking it every day.

I remember when Cuba Gooding Jr showed up and I was like "Who is this off-brand Omar motherfucker?" horribly poor taste comedy sketch idea - Kids Gone Wild & Crazy. Just Dan Schneider pitching it to the execs.

There’s that rube talk we were talking about

I think people are less mad about msg these days. But yeah. i do think that using boullion is fairly authentic for Tex Mex

I haven’t even checked the ingredients but I suspect that boullion contains the msg that is sometimes the missing *something* from the more natural ingredient recipes

I really do need to try both making my own corn tortillas as well as my own chili powder. I think corn tortillas are supposed to be easy. I have maseca and a press, and some plastic grocery bags, I think that’s mostly what you need.

Oh here’s some dad hacks - calmoseptine for diaper rash: it’s the heavy duty shit with the geriatric stuff for incontinent people. Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure - apply at first signs of trouble. Also, cortisone covered in aquaphor for little rashes and skin irritation in other areas.

Remembering the spreadsheet app with feeding/poop information -

Is that recipe from the Walsh book as well? I’ll have to try it. My super low effort recipe is to fry a cup of rice in a few tbsp of oil with about half a tbsp of knorr caldo de tomate and maybe 1/4 tsp of cumin, add 2 cups of water and 1/2 tbsp of chicken better than boullion and some frozen peas, bring to a boil, cover, cook as directed for twenty and then turn off the heat and let sit for another 10-20. I like it better with the onions and other accoutrement but the three year old loves “rice with peas” and I can do this whole thing while working on other stuff.

lol I thought so - you literally took a pack of la banderita tortillas with you to Mexico

I live in North Carolina. Pickings are slim, which is why I had to learn how to make my own flour tortillas. Inedible is a stretch.

Nah fuck

Leon Bridges has a song called "River" on his album "Coming Home" and that can't be a coincidence

Maybe these pussy ass kids would be less pessimistic about the culture of malevolence and cruelty for sport if they experienced some real pain.

sounds very useful for you and wives everywhere

I love the idea of filling out an enrollment form for Alcoholics Anonymous

yeah we usually take that route when we're driving to NYC. That whole stretch from DC up to NYC is busy all the time.

I guess they weren't as rough as I remember maybe but when we bought the house, kitchen looked like this - i have zero regrets paying whatever company it was a bunch of money to sand/plug/paint/install hardware/etc the existing cabinets. although right when the project was done my wife made a comment about how maybe we should change the doors on the cabinets and it was one of the rare moments where she saw my face and never spoke about it again

on the diaper pale thing - i know people like the one linked above and I wish we had gotten that one instead of a... whatever it is we have, one of those fuckers with the proprietary bags. With kid #1, the changing table was in her bedroom, which is on the second floor. I emptied the diaper genie every day to make it not retchworthy. Kid 2, we have a little table attachment set up on the pack and play that we keep set up downstairs (in addition to the one on his dresser upstairs) and I change 95% of his diapers downstairs. Kitchen trash is right there and I chuck them in there - typing that, maybe I'd be grossed out if it was an under counter thing, but it's just on the periphery of the kitchen in an open 1st floor. I empty that trash every day and the diaper genie doesn't get used much this time around. Much prefer it. My convoluted advice summed up here really is - make a changing station near where the action in your house is. And buy wipes in bulk. For bottles, I feel like the kid kinda chose the bottle, although we settled on the same bottles for kid 2 so maybe we're influencing that more than we think. These are what we wound up with and they're a little bit of a pain (6 parts counting the lid - base, gasket, body, top, nipple, lid) but I'm like Forrest Gump cleaning his rifle with these - what I wish for you is that you find the bottle that works for you well without buying every goddamn bottle on the market Look at this 3 month old. He was holding his head up almost immediately and desperately wants to stand

Holy shit. And here’s me thinking that taking the tunnel was the scary route.

No, I’m not a monster. Those are corn tortillas. White corn, but corn. Although I can see how the little grill marks look like flour - that’s from frying them on the comal before rolling.
