  1. Is this where we hear about the widespread race riots caused by Obama that TTom personally witnessed again? Because I feel like that’s coming again, any minute now.
  2. hopfields is one of the best restaurants in austin, strictly food-wise, "gastropub" or otherwise imho of course
  3. wrong.gif more than 50% of Americans support trump. they need to be completely written off, and they will never, ever offer anything positive whatsoever to American society, or the planet for that matter. there is another sizeable percentage that knows that it is not smart to openly and publicly admit to supporting a traitor and a political party that is an ongoing criminal enterprise that seeks to destroy the country, so they lie about it and/or hedge with the "oh i dislike him personally and wish he'd tone down the twitter" but will vote for trump and each and every one of his enablers in government, in a heartbeat. i'm afraid that we are past the point of no return, and there is probably no coming back from it.
  4. i use Goya extra virgin for cooking if the recipe calls for it, or canola if not, and use other kinds of olive oil i have for dressings, vinaigrettes, etc.
  5. RIP Dog & Duck Pub
  6. i popped in when i was picking something up from the walgreens next door, i think this was the night the NCAA tourney started. there was sort of a one man band guy playing, it was loud, and it reeked of pot. we had dinner plans somewhere else so we were not going to eat there anyway - just wanted to check out the inside and the menu (since there isn't or wasn't at theat time one online) ....but, i think someone else is going to have to be the guinea pig on this one. also, who is going to report on the new chinese place that opened up where the hot pot place was for about 6 months, next to Cover 3? /looks around room

  8. roasted beet and citrus salad with feta and mint and white balsamic, honey, and dijon dressing moroccan lamb and beef meatballs in a tomato, saffron, and harissa sauce with preserved lemon couscous
  9. and, of course, to normalize racism, encourage hatred, and incite violence. and Republicans absolutely love it.
  10. commies, terrorists
  11. the POTUS is severely mentally ill, and has dementia. not that that excuses what a shitbag he is, but it does at least explain some of it. on the other hand, trump's supporters, sycophants, enablers, and apologists (which is 99.5%+ of those who either self-identify as Republicans and/or those who vote for or support any Republican, for any office, at any level) know exactly what they are doing, they take pride and joy in being complete pieces of garbage, and as such, they are far shittier human beings IMO.

    Burgers

    that's a damn good burger
  13. is there an site you can use to make your photos (specifically photos uploaded from iphone into the photo library in itunes/on macbook) into the correct size to upload as an avatar here? not sure how/why the one i currently have as an avatar worked, but none of the others work/will upload ... too big: "file was larger than the maximum file size of 499.712kb, and was skipped." maybe i'm just not remembering how i did it with the current one
  14. A1 on the crispy, buttery potato skins left after you finish your baked potato is pure greatness.
  15. It’s higher than 40%. When are we going to stop referring to “Trump’s base” as if it is some group that is separate and distinct from “the entire Republican Party and each and every person who self-identifies as Republican or who votes for, supports, or is an apologist for any Republican candidate or elected official, and the corrupt and treasonous criminal enterprise knows as ‘the Republican Party’”? They are the same exact group of people.
  16. finally found the toffee ones after looking at about half a dozen places. they are in fact...not good, at all. I was expecting something tasting like a Skor bar with the crunchy MnM shell. nope - they taste like burned coffee. the coconut peanut ones, however, are amazing.
  17. All pizza is cheese pizza. It’s just a matter of what you’re adding onto your cheese pizza. I embrace all pizzas, and just about all toppings (except for shit like pineapple and broccoli) but when I find a great slice of NY pizza, plain cheese is hard to beat.
  18. Wholly and demonstrably false.
  19. You don’t get free reign to be a racist piece of low life white trash simply by virtue of posting on the politics board. Sorry. It appears that you’re also a whiny cunt who can’t take the consequences of posting hateful, treasonous garbage.
  20. You know, I’m starting to get a bit of a feeling that Johnny Sack is a racist piece of garbage. Not sure why though.
  21. Give an example of a location. I have never seen this. Modern Market
  22. Casual restaurants that have tiny ass water cups, like the size of the little Dixie cup ones that you used to see in people’s bathrooms in the 80s. Thanks, I really enjoy getting up to refill this 3 ounce cup 6 times during the course of my meal.

    Gyros

    CAVA is like a slightly higher quality mediterranean version of Chipotle. bowls are better than the gyros. YMMV been a couple years since I had an office out in Bee Cave/Lakeway, been i hit little greek often and thought it was solid for what it was (especially for greek salad, which ... isn't what you asked about) mmm milto's gryo (soon to be RIP). probably more nostalgia than "real deal" there's a new mediterranean place next to the courthouse i've been meaning to try but haven't gotten in to yet
  24. looks like you nailed it - that looks super tasty.
