Nah  she’s 84 and doesn’t cook much anymore. I took her a bowl of dumpling noodle soup tonite in fact  

My dog died six weeks ago. Thanks for the reminder. 
 

Y’all sure Surly tonite. 

Bad couple of weeks?

Well, shit, didn’t know that. Sorry for your loss.

No worries. Only fond memories.

Fried one of these 2 years ago and it was amazing. For whatever reason they didn't sell them last year, but they're back. Highly recommend.

15% solution is a lot for a frying turkey. That’s why I use fresh turkeys as they contain far less injected liquid.

This year or just in general?  Cuz I got a free one last year that's been in my deep freeze I'm thinking about smoking.

HEB used to carry a HEB Natural turkey breast but I haven't been able to find one in the Waco stores since this summer. It's much better than the butterball one.

Interesting. We still have those in Houston. 

[jimmyjazz 46,952]

I'm roasting three of these today, along with a half dozen turkey legs and four turkey thighs.  I'm gonna do different seasonings on each -- herbed butter on the breasts, cajun on the legs, not sure about the thighs, probably just a typical salt/pepper/paprika/garlic/onion rub.

I did a Butterball bone in breast this year and it was great.

It's Honey Drop Mandarin time at HEB again

[jimmyjazz 46,952]

Not food, but I bought a couple of these a few months back and they're fantastic.  I assume the rest of their in-house line of products is equally good.  They clean up super easy, are essentially non-stick (no Teflon though) and are oven safe to 450 F.  A pair of these fit side by side in my (very) conventional oven, which helps maximize use of space for big meals.

These are legit and keep selling out at my HEB. Come in a few flavors, but sea salt is just fine paired with some TD doña salsa.

These are too damned expensive to justify. Literally twice the price of most chips. Pass

You are missing out.

[Wally Pryor 5,388]

People overthink the chips aisle at HEB.

These used to suck but have been dramatically improved over the last couple years and are damn good.

 

[deft 7,041]

It’s one bag of chips Michael. How much could it cost? $10?

If you’re trying to save a buck on a bag of chips, you’re having too many bags of chips for what your Lipitor has you budgeted for.

[Wally Pryor 5,388]

Need to ditch that pansy Santa commercial. All else is fine.

That commercial, not so.

[UpperWestside 6,262]

I have not been in an HEB in three years before yesterday. 
 

I would sacrifice all of you to be able to take one with me to Hawaii on Wednesday. Not having any truly great grocery stores outside of Texas makes you really appreciate HEB even more.

I’d swear there’s a humblebrag in there somewhere.

Haha no. I had stop through my hometown here in Texas because I’m moving from New York to there. I have yet to come across a grocery store anywhere in the US that is as good as HEB. Someone in New York tried to argue with me and say Wegman’s was just as good. That was some good laughs.

The only grocery store I have been to that was even close to an HEB was the Carrefour I went to in Tahiti. It was still a couple of rungs below HEB, but they were pretty cool. Any grocery store that wants to have a crepe machine making them fresh each morning is good in my book.

lol no. Anytime I mention places like this the reaction is invariably “something, something paradise.” I always say that what someone might see as paradise is what someone else from there just sees as home as well as where they earn a living. I spend a good deal of time listening to people talk about where they are from because of my job so I look at things a little differently. I see it as a cool place that lacks an HEB. That part, however, is not cool!

[billfromlaketravis 11,782]

I think we can all agree the Bunker Hill location is the largest/nicest location in Houston, and I got worked at the butcher counter today. Asked for bone in ribeyes. The first one is fine, nice long bone, well marbled. The second one has a tiny bone, and a huge piece of tough fat on it. They shouldn’t have sold me the second one. 
 

I shouldn’t have to watch them a microscope, but here we are. 

[deft 7,041]

Take it back. May seem petty but the managers at those nicer stores have a lot to live up to and they’re expected to put out better steaks than the “other” hebs.
