    Gumbo

    So the boy came home from UT this weekend, and I decided last minute to make gumbo, which is one of his favorites. Since this was a last minute call, to make it happen and be ready by the time he got here, I tried jarred roux for the first time. This is my story: 1. The stuff I got was like $4 for 16 oz ingredients looked like roux. It was nice and dark. 2. That stuff is in there like cement. With all the chiseling and heating it up to get it out of the jar, I could have just made a roux. 3. So usually, I do 1 cup flour to 1 cup oil. So two cups volume. 16 oz jar. Yeah, this is definitely a 50/50 by weight situation because that stuff was thick. Couldn't really get that sizzle on the veggies when I added them. 4. Overall, it tastes fine. But this whole thing was a rush job. So I used box stock as well. It's delicious, but it's not what I'm making when the dignitaries come over for dinner.
  5. Did he find a Golden Ticket inside a drumstick or something?
  6. Damn straight. If it's a typo, then it's "War on Christmas" awful. But if it's this, I'm fifty-one years old, and I don't understand.
  7. NYT: "New First Family Pooch Soon to be in Residence!"
  8. 99.9% this with 0.1% of stop punching yourself.
  9. I posted something similar in the Trump's America thread. I think the high level of his fucking around accelerates the timeline of finding out.
  10. Half of this country is about a year away from grunts and other guttural utterances.
  11. And it was certainty "We ain't done use no . . . ." The day after add/drop ends.
  12. Regardless, it aligns with my philosophy of being relatively kind to those with whom you stand in line or have the opportunity to let merge in traffic.
  13. I was just quoting to a coworker today: "The chair is against the wall."
  14. What's the Mark Twain quote? "I did not attend his funeral, but I approved of it." Or Chris Rock: "I'm not saying I agree, but I understand." But I really don't endorse such a thing, and will not be quoted or inferred to have suggested otherwise.
  15. Around 1% of the population of this country consist of the clinically psychopathic. With the number of layoffs and general fuckery that threatens to tank democracy, the economy, increase unemployment, and drive up costs of basic needs, someone in this all too well armed country, whether they fall into that 1% grouping, is liable to decide to take a shot. I'm not saying I encourage or support such a thing. I don't. But I think the probability that it happens increases every day people of ill will continue to chisel away at the foundations of our democracy and society for their personal benefits.
  16. Bring out the Bear-Jew.
  17. I haven't thought about this song in a while, until this thread, this morning
