  1. What you say? You have no chance to survive make your time.

  3. Tapas place a few blocks off the strip called Firefly. We hit it up everytime we are in town. Nice vibe and mostly locals it seems. The sangria is the best I’ve ever had. Look it up. And next door is a place called Beer and Tacos that is pretty good as well.
  4. Two-week work trip this summer to Manchester, Edinburgh, Dublin, Galway. I am booking hotels now and have spent time working in Manchester and Edinburgh but never in Ireland. What is the transportation like in Dublin? Surface trains and busses it appears from what I can find. I am thinking of staying in the Temple Bar area but would like to investigate more or the city. How easy is it going to be to get around? Thanks in advance.
  5. If you are ever drifting around the high plains Lubbock region, stop in Flippers Tavern on Q. They have legit good gourmet hot dogs with damn good craft beers. Sausages are all from Jackson Bros in Post so that should tell you all you need to know.
  6. Download the Caesars Sports app. Then load cash when you get there. You can make your sports bets anytime, anywhere and not have to deal with windows.
  7. I have peed near that piece of art many a time. (not the one at your house--yet)

    RIP Meat Loaf

    Guy carved out a space and owned it. No one ever even tried to get a piece of that action. They knew there could only be one. Much respect. 1979 in a black Pontiac Firebird with the gold decal on the hood. Bat Out of Hell blasting out of the stereo and spilling into the streets through the T-top. I can't picture that car in my mind without hearing his voice. RIP
  9. If Dak is the triggerman, he will miss Jerry by two yards and plug the driver.

  11. I don't know. They seemed, like, well.....that they would come in second place if there was some type of pillow voting/election thing.
  12. True story. Stayed with some inlaws at Christmas while doing the Tour of Texas. Got up one morning after being short a pillow all night (I had packed my own, but I sleep with at least two). Inlaw asks if I slept ok, and I said I had slept fine but wish I had brought another pillow. She says--All good Squib, follow me. Go upstairs and she opens a closet that has at least 20 pillows still in the packaging. She says: "We buy these because the owner of the company has been cancelled for his Christian beliefs. We decided to order all of these because the Libs shouldn't be able to ruin a man's business. We hate the pillows though so we just shove them in the closet." Narrator: "Yes, they were MyPillows."
  13. Almost got me today. It seems like Wordle is on to the STRLNE strategy lately.
  14. More or less followed this recipe. I will add a chili de arbol or two next time. Or not--the kids probably won't eat it if I kick up the heat. https://houseofyumm.com/beef-birria-and-birria-tacos/
  15. Pot is about 5 inches deep. With all the ingredients and seven cups of water, it was about full. I skimmed the fat as it cooked. Just kept putting it in a bowl next to the pot. When it was done, I removed everything from the pot. I put all the veggies in a colander and let it drain into a bowl that I poured back in the pot. I pressed on the veggies to get as much liquid back as I could. You can eat birrea as a soup if you want; you just leave the veggies and cube up the meat rather than shred. If I were going to serve as a soup, I would cook with more liquid.
  16. Much easier than I anticipated. Damn chuck roast and short ribs were crazy expensive. I never pay attention to grocery prices, but I was a bit shocked at the roast price as I was unwrapping. Will eat the left overs during the Bama/Ga game tomorrow night.
  17. Next made a taco out of the meat and some shredded quesadilla cheese. Got the skimmed-off fat hot in the skillet and crisped the tacos. Served with some beans I had been cooking all day. Pretty dang good. The kids even ate it. I think next time I will throw in a few chilis de arbol to spice it up a bit. Easy enough.
  18. Ran the chilis through the blender with a little of the broth then mixed the chili sauce back into the pot. Added some chili powder at this step. After about 3 hours, I skimmed off the fat (and reserved) then removed the veggies, and shredded the meat and added back to the pot.
  19. Birria Tacos or Red Tacos seem to be all the rage. Decided to make an effort. Started with chuck roast, some short ribs, guajillo chiles, Mexican oregano, onion, garlic, carrots and some water in pot. Got it to a boil and let the chilis hydrate in the water for 30 minutes. Starting to come together.
  20. Five again. Wordle 202 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
