I am glad you like pumpkin pie. I know many folks do. I didn’t hate on it. It only pisses me off when that’s the only dessert. My dad hated it, taught me to hate it. Same with sweet potato hate. He didn’t teach me to hate black folks, for which I’m thankful, but he had strong feelings about Plymouth owners and Dallas. I have no issue with anyone liking it I put it in my personal dislikes part rather than the things I believe deserve universal loathing. And I’ve not seen anyone asking for recipes or proudly showing off some aunt Myrtle Mae’s holiday congealed salad. (Wait! Could someone out there be mixing up a pumpkin pie congealed salad?)

Wife is not feeling well so we didn’t go see the kids in Oklahoma. Just us two. Prime rib (Alton Brown’s reverse sear) with horseradish cream Tamale dressing (modified Lisa Fain recipe) Cranberry Orange sauce Smashed red potatoes Green bean casserole. No f’n shrooms. Sauteed Brussels sprouts with bacon Crescent rolls (Pillsbury. Childhood for us both) Pecan pie Cherry pie Brownies

I don’t see any folks having some of the typical traditional awfulness of the Texas Thanksgiving spread. And where do we put stories about your irritating drunk brother in law or annoying nephew your sister spawned. I’m unlike many in that I hate pumpkin pie and sweet potato anything. I also don’t like lazy. Cold prefab rolls in a little tray. Canned cranberry sauce. A tub of country crock on the table. Sides from Popeyes or grocery in the store containers. My worst things: Cornbread oyster dressing. My grandmother made it for an uncle with the limestone county luxury item of canned oysters. Horrible. Tastes like fish slime and machine screws are I. Your dressing. And stinks the house up. Congealed salads. An unfortuntradition of Texas cuisine. My grandmother and an aunt would bring new ones each holiday. Barf jelly in a mold. Lemon jello, tuna fish, canned English peas, cottage cheese.. Lime jello, mayo, Pineapple, avocado, baby marshmallow, canned baby shrimp. Dr Pepper, cherry jello. Pecans, pimento, cool whip. The list was long. My dad hated them so they were one of the few things that fell outside the “one bite so you might actually like it” rule. Weird oddball shit. Chicken fried deer heart. Squirrel egg rolls. First Thanksgiving food: “it’s pimmican!” “It’s spelt gruel!”. Kale brownies. Leave it at home. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope your family is close and happy.

Hang the banner! Whoop!

Fits in well then. Some of them Aggy players appear not to have played football either

Has Johnny Fucking Football shot bar and vomitorium though. Thats worth something. People will live anywhere for millions of dollars. Baton Rouge. Memphis. West Virginia. Starkville. List is long He don’t care as long as that buyout is nice.

Actually Thanksgiving was the 28th. They had a LULAC dinner in Houston and flew to Ft Worth and stayed in the Hotel Texas (now the Hilton). Had a chamber of commerce breakfast event and then they flew to love field. In San Antonio day before Kennedy and Johnson had a loud argument in the pres suite because LBJ had not settled the split between Connolly and Ralph Yarborough. That rift was never really mended and that was the early catalyst of the state moving to the GOP a decade later.

Who had the motive? The connections to pull it off? Joe DiMaggio. For both brothers fucking his ex wife then murdering her. How did Peter Lawford survive?

I didn’t see a thread on this. 60 years ago today, I was almost 5. Mom was ironing clothes for us to drive from Ft Smith to Thanksgiving with family in Ft Worth and Oak Cliff. She was watching As the World Turns. This bulletin popped up and then Walter Cronkite came on with the news. A couple days later my cousins and I are watching am cartoons. Program interrupts and it’s Oswald is getting transferred. I watched him get killed on TV eating my Rice Krispies wearing my pajamas. Some conspiracy talk was immediate. He’s alive on a machine in the Parkland basement. but the narrative of a communist nutjob seemed plausible to my parents. My dad was federal leo, a postal inspector. he was a great detective and punched holes in the conspiracies as the years passed.

We finished Bodies last night. It’s different. We enjoyed it. Glad it’s a standalone.

They have some moron Aggie in the social media side of the AD that is spewing these strangely telling stats. “We’re 8-0 against Catholic girls schools!” These usually end up with some post that goes over the top with a bad rehash of a Richard Pryor joke or some outrageous claim.

Wtf is Stephen Johnson syndrome? Maybe he should sepukku himself so it doesn’t spread. He thinks folks hate him because he’s gay. Nope. Everyone hates you because you’re a total piece of shit.

Paynes is the prototype for great pork barbecue. I started eating there when the great Horton Payne was running the pit. Went to school near there and ate there at least once or twice a week for four years. Rendezvous is a tourist trap. You may be murdered at either.

I guess you haven’t read much Memphis news lately. It’s calmer in Beirut.

Actually they will rehire him with a new $11 mil a year 20 year contract while they have to pay him $76m because of no mitigation.

They are trying to hide the fact they are a tool of the Saudi sports program and that A&M will be hosting camel races at Kyle field soon.

You can go to the casino in Choctaw. Drive to Memphis and get murder death kilt. Go to Tupelo for Elvis shit or buy a recliner. Stay in Oxford and go see drunkass William Faulkner stupid shit.

They love those incentive contracts and I do too, but they don’t work the way these fools think they do. The point of them is to avoid the stupidity of expensive extensions for a single good season. So unless you’re hiring an ingrate, the contract is going to be at minimum competitive to the market. If the median for the top schoools is $8m (just numbers for talking) that’s the starting point, so maybe you’re in at 4 or 5 years at $8.5. The incentives sometimes are stupid. $100k for a bowl appearance. Huh. Win 6 games to go to a minor bowl that is a money loser? Nope. If expectations are what this yo-yo says then it’s $500k for an SEC Championship and a mill for an NC. Done. And no autoextension for 10 years at $12mil with a 10% escalator each year.

This. Having spent too much of my life as a TexPat the search for TexMex is a futile effort in disappointment. When we lived in SanFran an On the Border opened in the far South Bay. We drove two hours to get Califoricated slop. Worse was our 3 years in Portland. No Mexican food at all back then worth a shit. It was like the PNW was where Mexicans that couldn’t cook worth a shit were all sent there. Whenever we came back we left DFW and went to el Fenix or el Chico or Taco Cabana or Abuelos or whatever we first came to.

Kyle should be strapped to a drone boat and sent to a beach near Gaza City.

The records for coaches leaving and finding success elsewhere is remarkable.

Based on the rankings of their recruiting classes that isn’t an issue. Their issue has been an idiot megalomaniac for a coach.

The runners need to make sure any guest have some personality and some football knowledge. Wahlberg is a douche. The show is best with Mannings and a handful of good guests; most of them suck.

I likes your recipe better than Leah chase’s. I’d had gumbo z’herbes uears back at some home in the wall and it popped up. I also didn’t put romaine lettuce or spinach in there. Actually the only real difference when I made it vs making a pot of greens really was the roux.
