  1. Sorry. Here you go.
  2. Yeah. The Thai chiles are hotter than arbol chiles according to the google, I just didn't use that many. I had it for lunch today and there is some heat, but not too hot. I actually really like the flavors and don't want to make it so hot that it takes away from the wonderful flavors of the peppers. I think I'll probably add a few more Thai chiles next time and then give cayenne and hot sauce to anyone that wants it hotter. I do appreciate you posting the San Antonio Chili Queens recipe, or your version of it, so many years ago. Rehydrated and pureed chiles is my go to now. Even when I make chili with ground meat, I prefer this method.
  3. Made a pot of red yesterday. Taste was great, texture and consistency was spot on, but really not much heat. Basic recipe with pepper profile: 5.5 lbs chuck roast 18 guajillo, 6 ancho, 4 chipotle, 4 Thai (just because they were sitting around) Spice blend of cumin, paprika, salt, Mexican oregano (heavy on the cumin) 8 cups of water for the slurry I hate just dumping heaps of cayenne for heat. I've had that get away from me before. I'm sure I could add several more Thai chiles. Questions: (1) are there any dried peppers that will increase the heat without significantly affecting the flavor? (2) How about just providing cayenne to anyone who wants to increase the heat?
  4. We need to get combobulated fast.
  5. K98 Raft Race
  6. That looks great. Did you get any sides at Reese Bros?
  7. Yeah, the #1 barbecue joint in the state at opening time is going to have a line.
  8. He's looking for the Pennywise Goldilocks' zone.
  9. That accurately describes everyone on Surly with a high rep count.
  10. I don't think it was one of the original 13 pillars, just a shard of the same material.
  11. Stand By Me came out of the same Stephen King collection as Shawshank. The movie stayed really close to the novella as well.
  12. Listening to The Mavericks on Spotify, I remembered that we were at Stubbs when they recorded the Live in Austin Texas album. I have the DVD at home. Seems like a great thing to watch this evening.
  13. I was there because my wife really like Mary Chapin Carpenter. I'm pretty sure that the Mavericks opened for Carpenter that night. One of those shows when you walk away knowing that the opening act was just better. We saw the Mavericks a few more times and they were always great. Raul had an incredible voice.
  14. The gift that keeps giving the whole year round!
  15. We know the little girl's shinny rock is going to be used to replace the pillar, thus keeping Pennywise contained. I hope there is more to the upcoming episode(s) than that.
  16. Yeah. Pretty sure my Boga is over 20 years old.
  17. 45 - Slip Sliding Away Record - Grease Cassette - Does Ft Worth Ever Cross Your Mind CD - Substance
  18. What time did you go? The two times I've been were right when they opened. On those occasions, we opened and unloaded the front pit. Your picture looks like the rear pit.
  19. Nothing says Indiana and Ohio like signing about West Virginia
  20. La Raza is Spanish for . . . The Raza.
  21. Stopped by Churchrow Tejas Barbecue today for lunch. No line at Noon on a Saturday is not a great sign for a barbecue joint. Noticed the distinct smell of mesquite smoke on the way in. Got most of my order to go, so not much barbecue porn. As I was ordering Miguel walked up and cut off the brunch menu, except for the Real Deal Holyfield. A quentisential piece to Tex Mex barbecue. A quarter pound slice of brisket on a homemade tortilla slathered with refried beans, fried potatoes, a fried egg, and salsa. Outstanding as usual. A nice place in north Austin. We'll see how long it lasts.
  22. Carol is 12 days into the entire population of the world, less 12 people, turning into a hive. She's grieved for and buried her partner. She's flown to Spain and learned that the other non-hivers couldn't care less about the whole thing. She found a warehouse sized refrigerator with stacks of human body parts. And she's working pretty hard to try to figure out how to fix things. That's a pretty eventful few days. I'm going to cut her a break.
  23. With a lock on the bedroom door.
  24. Well . . . that was awesome.
  25. I watched some from The Man of Recaps A few weeks ago, I was able to find recaps of the individual seasons. I looked the other day when the wife wanted to watch a recap, and could only find one recap that encompassed all of the prior seasons.
