  1. 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

  3. 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
  4. and, of course, to normalize racism, encourage hatred, and incite violence. and Republicans absolutely love it.
  5. 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
  7. 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
  8. A1 on the crispy, buttery potato skins left after you finish your baked potato is pure greatness.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Wholly and demonstrably false.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Give an example of a location. I have never seen this. Modern Market
  16. 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
  18. looks like you nailed it - that looks super tasty.
  19. I vote for making 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place pay out. JK
  20. Not only are they not unique, it’s the official Republican Party platform.

    Tacos

    how does this thread only have 4 replies? man. off the top of my head - papalote is legit love tyson's for white people's tacos; they need to make their own tortillas though not a taco joint, but i am crazy about the barbacoa at leroy and lewis - i get an order there and then grab tortillas at the taco truck next door and make tacos valentina's vasquez on research for big ass old school tacos rosita's al pastor also not just a taco joint but julio's on duval - i get a 1/2 roast chicken, tortillas and some guac and salsa and make tacos tierra linda inside the gas station at research and fairfield been a while but la moreliana meat market on south congress across from expose (edit: looks like it closed )
  22. Most definitely. One of Trump’s primary appeals is that he validates and normalizes racist shitbags like Johnny Sack.
  23. Republicans sound very much like the Aggy bragging because his team only lost to Alabama by 20, when most teams get blown out by 4 TDs or more. "our guy is a racist moron who can't speak in complete sentences, incites violence, is completely corrupt and unfit to lead, and hey, he sells out the country on the reg, but it looks like he might have managed to not get caught directly colluding with the enemy. Put the victory sign up on the wall!"
