  1. Care to sample some Chestnut Farms sirs?
  2. I watched S2 E2 smashed and late at night. I don’t remember much, but they for sure CGI’d the water. Galveston Bay is brown 99.999% of the time.
  3. I’d prefer MAGA heat up the refiners/provide incentives for them to convert from heavy to light crude instead of pressuring the Saudis. But… he wants instant results and here we are.
  4. MSRP was right around $200 after taxes. It’s good, but the JD Special Release from a couple years back is the GOAT American Malt Whiskey. It’s probably cheaper on secondary too.
  5. The Tavern rules. Back in the day, they were one of the few bars with NBA League Pass. We watched a ton of Rockets games there.
  6. I’d go Kerbey for breakfast and Dirty Martin’s for dinner.
  7. I wish they made more belts, but agreeed.
  8. If y’all need some cobbling, Alberto’s on Kirkwood in Houston is excellent. He does great work and does it fast.
  9. Good nose. I’m getting like a raspberry crème brûlée on the palette. Long finish. Just the right amount of heat.
  10. I had a pretty good week, and a night off from rodeo, so I might as well.
  11. A friendly reminder to walk your fence line and look for weak spots. Little girl burrowed her way into the neighbor’s backyard this afternoon. I had to dig in the dirt and turn her on her side to get her out. I then piled about 3 feet of bricks in the hole.
  12. Whoa. That was close.
  13. Good to very good bone in pork chop at Guadalajara. I’m just a surprised as y’all are. Quail is good too, but they serve it with some heavy butter dipper. Lamb chops are back at Longhorn Steakhouse. They’re very big for that cut, well marinated, and taste great. It’s under $30 for about 12-14 ounces of lollipops. You can’t do better. Just for Lent/Easter so hurry up.
  14. $43 American dollars for an Uber from the El T on Gessner to NRG Center this evening. This is an unsustainable model.
  15. I don’t understand the effort to reintegrate him into Hollywood’s good graces by Lorne Michaels and whomever he knows at WB Discovery. He pointed a gun at a woman, and it went off. If some dumb ass PA did exactly the same thing, he’d be doing time for manslaughter. He should consider himself lucky and withdraw from the public eye. But, I assume he needs money and needs to work so his friends are doing him more favors.
  16. Reba was mostly fine. She can still sing, but you can see why she doesn’t really tour anymore. Purple parking, suite tickets, and free booze made for a good night.
  17. Plenty of parallels between 1924/King of Kentucky and Weller 12/Pappy Van Winkle. I don’t blame folks for wanting to try it. The hype is an unfortunate side effect.
  18. The Ime-Reed conspiracy theory posts are writing themselves on Clutch Fans right now.
  19. But he doesn’t have to. He can spend the week in LA and fly back on the NBC for dress rehearsal on Friday. Show on Saturday. Back to LA on Sunday. Some of the greats can get away with it. The Burrows Bros said Kelsey Grammer would read the script for the first time 10 minutes before shooting, memorize all of his lines, and nail his scenes. Yang is not one of the greats
  20. We live through Houston summers every year, live near a cozy, clean Cinemark with a polite staff and cheap tickets. Plenty of before or after movie dining options, and we still never go. We lived in the Heights for 10 years without a local cinema, and then Covid. I was we just lost the habit. It takes a QT or DV movie to get me to theater.
  21. Y’all need to watch Tires.
  22. The King Ranch price increase was unfortunate. It created a malaise around the bottle, and turned a very good product into a shelf turd. They also hit Texas with a tsunami of cases. You have to walk around the display in most mom and pop stores in Houston. Smith Street kept about a shipping container worth of it in the middle of the store for weeks. 1924 is probably always going to be a tough get unless they release a shit ton of product like King Ranch. It’s the same recipe as King of Kentucky. Most of us will never taste KoK, so of course everyone wants to try the next best thing.
