One of the few Hollywood "stars" I've met in person. Met him on the street in NYC and talked for a few minutes. He was hanging out with Krysten Ritter at the time. Really decent guy.
Every time someone post about Chinese on this site i always bring up Bamboo House. Hands down the best Chinese buffet/Mongolian bbq in BTR at the time. Loved that place.

Mr. Mercedes

Looking around for something to watch and stumbled across Mr. Mercedes. Vaguely remember starting the book and not finishing but can’t remember why. Any thoughts on this show? Looks like 3 seasons. Any good?

Chicken dinner
I had a black 1/2 ton truck w black interior in South Texas. Liked it but needed something bigger. Traded in and bought a 3/4 ton black truck with light interior. Noticeable difference in temperature when I first got into the vehicle. With vented seats and A/C the truck cooled quick but when you first get in and the time it takes to cool - yes there is a difference. Admittedly both trucks had a black exterior so that factors as well.

ETA: Also, aesthetically I do prefer a light interior.
That segment on 610 between I-10 and 59 has been #1 in Texas and top 5 in the US since I lived here. Still # 5 now according to the USDoT at least since last year. 2026 not out yet.

I can attest as I'm sure the other Texas TDers can, its a nightmare. I avoid it like the plague.
The "infrastructure" comment isnt about electricity and operator facilities....... its about pipelines and getting the product to market.

The murder solve rate went down 62% or is that graphic misleading? Wouldn’t tout that


I guess if the math is consistent at least 14% of that could be attributed to the reduction in overall murders?? 48% would still suck.
Im going to answer your question w a question:

Why has the demographic in this forum changed to 55+ bitching about everything?

Another Sheridan show where he is just circling the bowl. Every episode I keep waiting for something to happen and it doesn’t. Sheridan is like a kid w a new toy. He plays with it till he’s bored then it like he just gives up and walks away.

Shepherd featured them recently on his Eat Like a Local show. Looked pretty good and loved the history of the place. Reminded me of the storied Louisiana restaurants. Need to get down there and try it.

Unrealistic in quite a few places and the editors didn’t try very hard but damn’t I still liked it. Even got a tear and a smile. And yes I saw all the little messages and parallels.

Love Taco Bell sauce but my son turned me into this stuff a while back and never looked back:


Tabasco is still my go to for Cajun food, seafood, etc but anything remotely Latino I grab the Tapatio.

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing.

I have a similar recipe I use for shrimp, crawfish, etc but I use heavy cream and half/half in lieu of the cream of x. And I add fresh mushroom slices and chopped green onion right at the end.
