    I've done that one time, it's delicious. I want to say the all things barbecue channel on YouTube had a recipe that I sort of followed, or at least gave me the idea to go ahead and throw it on the smoker. I didn't hit it with too much smoke though, just done on the gas grill with one of those...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    They're also disgusting. The pre-made tortillas that just taste like a weird piece of unleavened bread and have some kind of weird chew and chemical aftertaste, blehhhh. I guess I'm lucky that you can get fresh made tortillas from HEB, and they're normally really good especially if they're...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Fuck yeah! La Baderita is cheap as hell, but the best damn pre-made tortillas you can get. That's all I ever buy, and I just turn on the gas burner on the stove top, and toss them a few times on the Open flame. They've got quite a bit of lard I think, but they're so tasty, and cheaper than...

    Just growing up I like flour better than corn. Not that I won't eat either, but you can have your preference.

    I'm sure this will be extremely unbiased and a riveting documentary shown through the lens of objectivity!

    Yeah, the weather just hasn't cooperated lately. With the swings in temp and lots of rain.

    Awesome. Was going to try to go with a buddy of mine this past weekend but we had a bunch of rain, and typically an ends up overflowing Spring Creek since so much drains into it. I'm hoping I can go out this next weekend, though. Been tying some jig flies in preparation. That'll make a great...

    Man, I haven't made a curry or tikka masala in a long time. Think it's going on the menu soon.

    Turned out pretty, good, not the best I've made, but I think it was just a piece of corned beef I got. I searched for the fattiest point-type pieces, and no dice. The colcannon was the best I've made, I think it's because I didn't necessarily blitz the aromatics super fine like I've done in...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Well son of a bitch, I didn't know that. It always kind of surprised me they only had a handful of locations for a long time, but it's good to see that they've expanded. I really like them as a grocery store as a whole. Anytime I've ever gone into my regular locations the managers are always...

    Yeah I don't necessarily know the history when Central market became a thing, but they're definitely under the same umbrella. Was thinking about it and I guess there's also a location in Austin which I don't think I've ever been to that one, and I think there is one in Dallas, so that makes...

    Trust me I know all about Central market and HEB . When I moved back to Texas it was one of the things I was happy about because I could get excellent selection of groceries at reasonable rates. I remember back when they were HEB pantry foods, and when I was in college at A&m, it's the only...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Yeah I was so suggesting it because if you don't have a decent Asian market Asian Frozen items are pretty good and priced very well. I wonder if you're referring to the location that's pretty close to a HEB Central market over there in Fort Worth. If it's the one I hate that location. It's...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Man if you got a trader Joe's close by go hit that instead of HEB. They're much cheaper and they're really good. We don't buy a lot of Frozen stuff but there's spring rolls and their potstickers or goyosa, or whatever the hell you want to call him are very tasty, and affordable. I've checked...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    In relation to cheap eats, I had made teriyaki chicken out of thighs last week, and fried rice, and tried to figure out what to do with the leftover vegetables and what have you. I made potstickers to go along with it as kind of an appetizer, just the frozen ones from trader Joe's and they're...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Absolutely. I love just then fatty pork chops seared and a cast iron skillet, a box of macaroni and cheese or some mashed potatoes, some steamed broccoli, it's a simple quick delicious meal. Sometimes you just want to change it up though, and it doesn't take that much more effort to make...

    Didn't make anything on St Patty's Day because I had made a big thing of dashi for ramen that we ate all week, but still picked up a couple of corned beef brisket chunks. Going to turn them into pastrami this evening, make colcannon and cabbage. Figure afterwards we can use some of the...

    We do something similar. When I pick up those giant pork loins, I'll cut pretty thick chops out of it and the fattier the better, and then dredge them in Italian bread crumbs or you can use panko, brown and set aside. You don't cook the pork chops completely just them nice and crispy. I'll...

    I have a buddy who does stunt work in Atlanta in movies and TV shows. He's been in a couple of them Marvel films, Hunger Games, and a smattering pretty much anything on TV. Even just doing stupid stunts like falling down stairs, but he's been on a lot of sets and productions. When we catch up...

    Alien: Earth

    Too bad they can't do it now since the actors are too old. There's an actual pretty good audio acted version on audible with multiple narrators and sound effects, but I think I got for free when they were doing one of their audible original things. I guess you could try to replace the actors...

    Most of the chops I make now or typically thicker and I do them on the grill, but there's something to be said for those little breakfast sized pork chops that are what maybe a quarter inch thick. You can get those big value packs that will have 16 of the damn things in there.

    I really just enjoy those thin cut fatty pork chops cooked in cast iron, with macaroni and cheese and some broccoli. Cooked separately of course. That's how my mom always did it and there's nothing better than a little crispy fat pork chop. She typically always overcooked them, I got it down...

    Alien: Romulus (2024)

    That's what the alien theory guy thought, given the time period when the movie is supposed to take place, so you're probably right. Which you obviously stated, hehe, sorry was that walking the dogs and drinking a gin and tonic.

    The alien theory guy talking about the trailer. I think it's the biggest thing is it looks like there's some capable people and key positions working on it, so maybe I have a little bit of Hope. I'm sure it'll look fantastic, I just don't know how the story is going to end up turning out, and...

    Figured it out because it was bugging me. Infinity was the game. Games small figure wise, and pretty quick. It was fun the couple of times I got together to play it. I just don't think it's real popular though. How to dig out my little squad wherever the hell they're at. I don't think I've...

    Nah, it's not that. I sent a message to that buddy of mine but I haven't gotten a reply back yet asking him what it was. I don't even know where the little case I had for my squad is located and the manual. I think it's in a box out in the garage somewhere. For some reason I'm thinking...

    Yeah I checked it out some after you had posted stuff about it, it looks fun and I agree that the barrier to entry is pretty minimal. I was playing another game with a buddy after I moved back to Texas and I don't even remember what the hell it's called, but it was a different universe and...

    That actually makes a lot of sense. I didn't know if it was because there was some movement to protect the sharks like save the whales or something. I do know Gordon Ramsay did a episode on one of his shows about shark fin soup in Asia and just the complete waste of the meat where they just...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I honestly didn't know much about raising them, I just know they're a staple for the French and I guess that's because you don't need a big footprint for them, and they breed relatively quick. Not that you need that much for chickens either. I just really enjoy eating it and anytime I get it...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    They sure do but they're so damn tasty. Speaking of French though, I know they eat a lot of rabbit, which is also delicious and they do it because it's cheap and they're easy to raise. Why don't we do that here in the US? You figured you'd be able to find it in my grocery stores no problem...
