re: Why don't you do Christmas?

It's a ridiculously fabricated bunch of non-sense. Buying & storing all sorts of crap. Bringing all the BS out of storage, spending hours setting it up...reversing it all however many weeks later.

Everybody else's house is decorated. That's enough for me. No need for it at home. And, more practically, we don't have the storage space for any more crap and certainly can find better uses for the $$.

We will celebrate the true intent at church.

Or Kung Pao Chicken, no peanuts. Not allergic or anything but they're totally unnecessary, imo.

Pork fried rice occasionally.

I'm not too good for bologna but the Mrs demands that it at least comes from the deli.

I've found the quality at HEB to be wildly inconsistent. It may depend on the location too. Size is usually not good and they may or may not have a noticeable amount of dead ones. And I love HEB.


Interesting, I use the Drippin store and the size/quality has always been really good. And, a minor detail, but sacks are always 35#.

Not knocking Stuffed, they have tons of goodies in their store too.
Stuffed is great but HEB is a lot more convenient. LA bugs and they'll even break sacks into smaller quantities if you want. Need to order on Monday iirc.

The other very underrated option is County Line BBQ right on the Riverwalk. Most don't know how to order there and just order "brisket" expecting the cut you get at the craft BBQ places. Instead, order 2nd cut brisket and the beef ribs (NOT the pork ribs, which are mediocre). Ask for all three varieties of sauce, or they will just bring you their traditional and kind of bland IMO base sauce. The blueberry cobbler if they have it is outstanding, and I like the coleslaw but it is different from what you might expect. The house-made white bread is also very good.


Surprisingly good. Met some out of town family there at their decision. Was afraid it would be terrible like the locations in Austin which are arse in comparison.

Like all processed food, there are more binders & preservatives. Those aren't digestible and they don't breakdown like old school crap. Preserved and bound turds come out.

Mrs Perple is sensitive as well. She always buys this brand or really anything not made in the US.

Dude's riding off into the sunset with a bag of cash and the GOAT legacy intact.

Have you weighed before and after to measure shrinkage?

Curious but mostly wanted to say shrinkage.
20 yrs from a modern appliance? Not happening
Store brand buns get the job done. For us, that's HEB.

He needed help. Left on his, he’d screw it up. Drop it or something.
