  1. Black-eyed peas, cornbread, fried cabbage, pivo and the Horns kicking some ass, gonna be a good day. Let's fucking do this!
  2. Here is my shitty tape of a tape of a tape copy, but you get a different camera angle at the end...
  3. I can upload the entire game, but I found this in the meantime. I'll also upload a slightly longer clip from my crappy copy with another angle from the game...
  4. That was my freshman year in Longhorn Band, I’ve got it on dvd somewhere (x-ferred from vhs), gimme a few days and I’ll upload it…
  5. Lots that I will watch, if I happen to catch them on tv or can be bothered to drag out a dvd, but only 2 I have to see every year, a Christmas Story and Stalag 17. Not Christmas without Seftin, Animal, and Equipoise. But not security, fuck him.
  6. All the 64 footage comes from this documentary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles:_The_First_U.S._Visit As to the girls reaction to the Ed Sullivan show, just as as Michael Lindsay Hogg's intuitiveness to place a microphone in a flower pot, the Maysles brothers instinctively knew that they need to capture the reaction of someone experiencing the event like the majority of the nation did, watching on TV. Brilliant film-making. This is a good "behind the scenes" documentary:
  7. If you are a movie buff, you know the story behind this one. Should be interesting. (Tonight btw, 7pm)
  8. Yes, what Mr. Hoitie-Toitie said… although I was in a hurry the other day and forgot to add a bay leaf, one that came out of a jar and looked like it came off my front yard about 1987, fresh herbs, ok Julia Child… j/k flavor it up as much as you want, a splash of worchestershire sauce or red wine is acceptable, I’m still getting used to the fact you can actually get fresh herbs from HEB, mine have always come from McCormick and have an average shelf life of 10 years
  9. Enjoy! Should have added - the order above is how I dump everything in the pot, so the potatoes are on top. I don't touch a thing for about 5 hours, and then after that give everything a good stir so it gets good and mixed (pull some of the meat up from the bottom, get those potatoes all mixed in good). And I have no idea what temp I cook at, this is an old Rival crock pot/fry daddy we got on our wedding day, the numbers have completely worn off the dial after 35 years. I'd say I probably keep it around 275 or so for a few hours, then slowly increase every hour or so, until a slow boil the last hour. You might want to stir more frequently then as it will thicken up and it might stick a little if you don't have a good ceramic pot. Also, as I mentioned, if you want to go more the vegetable soup route, you can get a bag of frozen soup veggies (peas, carrots, green beans, whatever you like), I just like to keep mine the simpler the better. And i only made cornbread because I wanted some, but usually I eat this with a big ol' sleeve of saltine crackers. Still eat it like a kid where I'll scoop out some meat and veggies, place it on a cracker and shove the whole thing into my mouth. Some things I'll never outgrow.
  10. Nice! Out as a special, pre-Christmas surprise today is David Gilmour's The Piper's Call Live Around The World, recorded at The Brighton Centre, Rome's Circus Maximus, London's Royal Albert Hall, LA's Intuit Dome and NYC's Madison Square Garden. So, elements taken from each city that was lucky enough to get dates on David's 2024 tour. The song was edited together by Charlie Andrew and Matt Glasbey to form one seamless track recorded throughout the Luck and Strange tour.
  11. This is just your standard beef stew (or just "stew" as we call it), nothing fancy at all about it, just good hearty eatin'... Mandatory (for me, explanation to follow): couple pounds stew meat or cubed chuck steak (ETA: any cheap beef, that's the point, keep it cheap, like brisket, you're gonna cook it low and slow, it will tenderize itself, but you can go fancy if you want) , throw it all in a gallon baggie with some flour, enough to coat it all throw flour-coated meat into skillet with some vegetable oil until browned on all sides, may need to do in batches, when done dump into crock pot/dutch oven/soup pot, what have you (ETA: drain any oil from the skillet, but definitely take all that browned flour, bits of meat left and either scrape right into the crock pot or deglaze it with some of the beef stock below, pour all that goodness into the pot as well) add a can of stewed tomatoes, chopped up throw in a few cut up carrots, as much as you like, I used about a 1/2 pound in this batch, three large carrots throw in about 1/2 large onion, cut up in decent chunks, no need to get fancy with dicing or anything like that throw in a pound or so of cut up russet potatoes (I love potatoes so used 3 decent sized russets, probably 1 1/2 pounds...) pour in enough beef broth to cover everything ( I use a couple packages of cheap, 75 cent stew/au jus mix and a few cubes of beef bullion in about 4 cups of water, I also add liberal amounts of salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder, however much you think is enough, add 10% more, the veggies will soak it up) cook all day long (I go from about 10 in the morning til 7 at night, turning up the heat the last our or so to boil) if using a crock pot, otherwise you can make this in a couple of hours, on constant boil, I personally like the slow cook, seems to tenderize the meet better (ala a brisket) Optional (which is what I made): a can or two of sliced mushrooms a can of corn ( I personally like the "mandatory" recipe above, basically meat, potatoes and carrots, that's what I grew up with, but my wife loves corn so I threw it in to satisfy her, to me it takes it from savory into a little more of the sweet area and also veering more toward vegetable soup than stew..., but I just compensate by adding more salt and pepper to my serving...) Cornbread is just your standard jalapeno cornbread recipe (although my mom always called it indian cornbread, or squaw bread), corn meal, cream corn, jalapenos, grated cheese (another weird one, we use longhorn cheddar, but my family grew up calling it rat cheese, my wife still asks me about that one...), etc....
