    Gumbo

    I prefer a 1:2 oil to flour ratio and it’s not dough like, more like thick oatmeal in consistency.
  2. The best thing about the holidays is that I have been to Central Market once, Whole Foods once, HEB twice, and Trader Joe’s twice all in the last 48 hours, #disorganized
  3. That was going to be my suggestion. Outdoor tables that seat more than four and I feel like they turn over fairly quickly.
  4. Just to be clear, you’re going to be spending your first 30 minutes hunting for a seat or space at the bar for one or two people. You’re going to see folks at tables that got there early and know to keep their asses stuck there because they planned ahead. About the time you have gotten maybe a round for two couples you’ll be an hour into it and then looking to move on. And that’s with a party of four-with ten it’s just impossible.
  5. Echoing this, you can't roll around with a party that large. You're going to need to make a reservation somewhere that can accommodate it (unlikely at this point) or break off into smaller groups, particularly if you want to bar hop.
  6. Team Juliet over here.
  7. Take a look at their roster-they aren’t counting on Yamamoto for 200 innings, Glasnow is a risky bet for more than 120, Kershaw is unavailable until after the all star break, Ohtani is out for the year. They badly need reliable starters and more than one. We do, too, which is why it’s a risk for the Astros.
  8. So I’ve been looking at the Dodgers minor league prospects and roster and I think Bobby Miller and lottery tickets would have to be the deal. Basically the Dodgers would be trading for a sure 200 innings and giving up a young starter that isn’t arbitration eligible yet but threw 120 innings last year with similar (if slightly down) performance from Framber. If the trade omits Miller then the Astros must feel bullish about replacing those 200 innings elsewhere (maybe the Cuban, maybe a different deal).
  9. Wow, just saw the contract details. Dodgers aren’t fucking around, it’s hard not to be impressed.
  10. I bet if you stage a blind taste test against most of the allocated bourbons you’ll find the Makers is #1 or #2.
  11. I feel like Paramount has been on a diet ever since Brad Grey passed away. They make about four movies a year and most of their revenue is licensing their catalogue out to the streamers.
  12. To rebut a bit, but I wouldn’t overly infer broad demographic and voting changes because a few assholes in the suburbs want to make absolutely sure all the neighbors know their politics. I don’t know if there’s data yet to support this, but I would guess the majority of immigration is center left or “independent” (quotes because I’m a skeptical of anyone describing themselves as such), they just don’t fly flags or put up yard signs for that.
  13. Maybe you should try that link I provided 😉
  14. I don't think the condo count should be that big of a deal; there's that many units in an apartment complex a block away. It's the height I'm sure the neighbors will fight. There's nothing taller than three stories on West Lynn.
  15. This is just reading the tea leaves, but I think Solomon Williams' NIL is being allocated elsewhere and Foster doesn't cost anything.
  16. Shipley was hired to open doors in west Texas and lasted as long as he did because Bellmont doesn’t/can’t fire anyone.

    Burgers

    Not relevant to your question but one takeaway is they provide free water cups that might the smallest I’ve ever seen in a restaurant. As a result of you’ll be back and forth from the water dispenser several times. Given the whole operation is restaurant impresario Danny Meyer’s baby I wonder if it’s intentional.
  18. Looks like Moura lost the Narcos weight and is back in Elite Squad shape.
  19. Thanks for the correction. I don’t think Marvel would be likely to go down that road again, either. These productions are years in the making and I’m sure they were feeling invulnerable after End Game. It’s also telling they haven’t tried to use any of those characters elsewhere, God knows there‘s a ton of them. I thought Love and Thunder was too discordant (Waititi lost the balance) and as a result the comedy didn’t mesh with the pathos. I thought it was satisfactory if too cute and appreciated, too, just the attempt to do something a little more personal to the filmmaker’s vision even if it didn’t wholly work. That said, I can’t bring myself to rewatch it. I am very interested to see where they go from here because I don’t think the most common complaints (“they keep making the same movie” and “you have to have watched 30 movies and 5 TV shows to know what’s going on”) are valid. What I see is a production company intentionally trying to diversify and expand the kind of stories they want to tell and the market is punishing them for it.* *also, they have been fucked by Disney+
  20. Also not shocking but they were pretty terrible at any academic competitions. Silsbee was also garbage except for Mark Henry. Anyway, back to recruiting, I'm not shocked when a guy from there finds College Station more familiar. Austin (particularly now) is just a whole different world.
  21. Jasper is really weird-back when I was in school they were in our district and regularly curb stomped us in any sports where you just had to run fast (particularly football and track). I didn’t realize they had any white kids at all until I went to their high school for an Ag competition (and all of them better fit your description).
  22. It’s fine, don’t go expecting A+ dining. It’s a great experience in that setting regardless.
  23. Dammit @atomheartbevo, you are too fast for me!
  24. I thought he was the co-author of the Bernstein Bears line of children’s books.
  25. Not to defend Nahlin, but that appears to be the business model. The same has been said about OB, 247, hell we have two whole threads mostly about Liucci lying to patrons.
