  1. I figured he was going to break it way down and smoke it go slow down decay loss. Looks like small mammals will eat most of it.
  2. No doubt that was a hell of a job to take it down with those old timey bows. I hope he’s not the one extracted as he seems to be a rare person who is wired for that situation. He’s not entangled in relationships at home, he thrives on the isolation, and he was raised in what sounds like an off grid no electricity cultish home. I like his rendering and storage of moose fat; he knows that’s the key to survival in that environment. That cape and hide will be very warm in his shelter.
  3. I hope the moose guy isn’t the one medically removed from the game leaving a wasted 1000 lb moose behind. He seemed to want to kill it out of pride more than game strategery.
  4. I’m prepared for ludicrous writing and a disappointing ending to wrap it up.
  5. All restaurants in the future will be Taco Bell. Saw it in a movie.
  6. It wasn’t there When we lived there in early 00s. I would have killed for a Chuy’s or an el Chico or el Fenix. I would have killed for an el charrito frozen dinner. I lived in Tex Mex deserts like San Francisco, Portland, and Denver. We drove 2 hours to eat at an on the border in the South Bay and it had been Californiated. We’d eat at Chevy’s for chrissakes which is like No-Mex Mexican food. Like fucking Iowa on a tortilla
  7. Agreed. I also dont think she was a fit for this storyline and I don’t like how she’s been written. Or the kids. Maybe that’s the point to show Rusty’s separate life but it seem like the kids and Barb are connected and Rusty is an outlier. Barb and the kids having to see and hear about his obsession with Carolyn, his impregnation of her, his willingness to leave them, and continual flood of lies would surely cause more conflict at home than we’re seeing. Having to bear witness to that publicly you’d think they’d just murder him. At least banish him to the cabana.
  8. HEB opened in Mansfield and I loaded up with all kinds of stuff. Heb butter tortillas with heb queso with heb hatch breakfast sausage
  9. No shit. Or come up with some additional complexity to the story instead of endless flashbacks or bad dreams of Rusty fucking Carolyn. The heart event for Raymond was a silly contrivance to get Rusty to be his own attorney and then expose himself. Or some more pained looks from Barbara. I’m glad it’s hopefully a wrap next week.
  10. Mi Cocina represents everything shitty about Dallas condensed into a bad combo plate.
  11. He was so fuckin funny. Whatever he did.
  12. Never cared much for Chuy’s. Now I can say it ain’t even Tex Mex but Florida shit.
  13. I’d like an opinion from the barristers here. How realistic were the two court scenes I found flawed as a layman? Would the judge have allowed the exchanges between her son and Rusty? “You killed my mother !” Over and over? And the final testimony had so much speculation, commentary, etc I thought the judge would step in.
  14. If girl and the goat doesn’t have a star then there’s few joints in Texas have a shot.
  15. https://nypost.com/2024/07/17/us-news/top-chef-masters-star-naomi-pomeroy-49-killed-in-freak-river-tubing-accident-in-oregon/ Wow she was a really good chef. What a shame. Terrible way to go
  16. I really miss all those places and how magical those high end gamechanger joints were. I’d take my out of town vendors to places like that and they’d be blown away. They lived on the road taking clients to the same fucking steakhouse or fancy French joint all over the country and then would just have a lobster taco at mansion or those lobster shooters at abacus or the tamale custard at Routh Street and they would just die. They’d come to town just to eat at these places. They taught us all so much about how we could all elevate our common Texas foods and make them really special.
  17. That would be a dream threesome
  18. In the day in Ft Worth I would give La Familia a star. The Tex Mex was ethereal, the service impeccable, and it operated flawlessly. Alas, the owner died and the kids lazy shits and it got sold and resold. It to me was a model for any restauranteur and I sent several there to see how to do it. I think Goldee’s and Franklin have a shot. I think Stephan Pyles, Robert Del Grande, and the Rathbuns in their prime would have earned stars and I would expect Fearing to polish his place up a bit to try to earn one to cap his career off.
  19. Denver doesn’t get that much snow though they want folks to think it’s like steamboat. And they know how to clear the roads in nothing flat. There is little ice like Texas storms and the snow is dry and powdery like sand. Conversely the dry heat is wonderful. As a Texan that grew up misplaced in Memphis, humidity is a curse from God and I’m done with it. We lived in Broomfield but if we could go back and had the bucks I’d likely go to a place like Ft Collins or more into the front range. If no grandkids I’d be in Portugal or outside Barcelona or Majorca, or Ireland.
  20. I had limited experience as my cousin would take me to the one in Handley when my folks would come in to visit. I was as in jr high / high school and loved the joint compared to the Pizza inn and shakeys we hung out at in Memphis though they were more lax serving the beer up there.
  21. She’s my Karen Sisco in the books. In fact she is my whoever in any book. Had that show been on FX instead of ABC it might have been on the level of Justified.
  22. When pop tarts first came out I was a mere squash. My breakfasts from mom became either pop tarts, instant breakfast, or some other convenience food. Early pop tarts were shit. The pastry was hard and dry, the filling off tasting and sparse, and they weren’t frosted. Worse was fucking instant breakfast. That artificial chocolate flavor was putrid. The show sucks as well
