This way works for me every time. I buy the premeasured packs of LA boil sold at HEB, it is meant for 4 pound shrimp or crawfish. Just bring the water and seasoning to a boil, dump the shrimp in and bring back to a boil, as soon as it comes back to a boil, cut the fire and let them soak for 30 min, done, easy easy Peal after I ice them down with an ice bag.

I bought one 20 years ago and sold it for $300 after using it for 10 years,. Bought a Big Green Egg and never looked back.
Very well made but they are a ton of work trying to maintain the temp in the fire for a long cook. BGE much better in every way.

Not worth even talking about it, sorry
Yep $4,000. Just for a tow less than a mile. True Story. Tow company didn’t apologize.
They towed it to their lot so they could get payment from the insurance company first, after that they were going to tow it to the body shop.
They said they were in rotation with other tow companies and they all charge like that if the police calls them.
Also the tow company said they would “ work with me” if I had to pay the 4k?
Yep hit the guard rail pretty hard to bend the bumper under, air bags did not deploy.
I went to city hall to complain and they said to got to the JP to see if they would help but said it would take some time to get before a Judge.

I had it towed to a body shop in town only to find out they towed it to the tow trucks lot and charged me $4000. This was less than a half mile. The insurance company doesn’t want to pay the 4k.
I have called the tow company to complain but they won’t move. I’m going over there in a few, to plead my case. Advise

Man, just charcoal grill them with lemon butter, done enjoy.
Just picked up two packs of three prime Dino plate ribs at Wall world. I mis quoted them before, these were $43 each. Still a good price as HEB was at $64.

There is JC’s very close, pretty darn good. I like Old school, Arthur Bryant’s
In the hood on Brooklyn Ave. . Half to have the pork and beef combo with lard fried fry’s and a tooth cracking cold Bud on Tap. Sauce is very unique and great.
You need to try as many of these as you can. Don’t skip Q39 either. Gates on 103 is great place for ribs, get the short end. Joes is good but to me not special. Folks who don’t like BBQ go there. I’ve herd good things about Slaps but haven’t been there. :geauxtigers:

I plan on doing these for the fourth. Saw them yesterday at Walmart, marked Prime, $29 for three chuck plate ribs, not bad. Saw a good show on these last week from Steven Raichlen he pulled the bones out and sliced them across like a brisket.
I remember watching it on TV. One night, can’t remember the year, seems like 1968. I was born in 52. My number was 296, I never got called. I had friends who got low numbers like 3, one got called the next week and off to San Diego. He ended up as gunnner on a Helicopter. Fun times.
It’s Amazing!
Texas Rangers dome

Made a trip over there for a couple of games this past weekend.
My first turn off was the $11 beer than turned into $14.75 after the service charge and tax.
I hate domes and this one is no different, over the top loud speakers and cheer leaders? Cheerleaders at a baseball game is trashy. Food is expensive and just so so.
Why didn’t they just put a roof over the old one? Which is owned now by the Chalktaws , it’s much larger than the new one.

I make three pounds at a time and use my KitchenAid , works great. I grind country style boneless ribs that I mix with ground deer meat , spices peppers and sometimes cheese.

My wife bought one thinking it was 4 WD , salesman told her it was. No issues except I hated that car. Lovely day when Carvana drove away with it and I had a check in my hand for 22K.

No fire, none.
Looks good but don’t understand the whole chilis?, I mean they won’t do anything like that. What about the stems?
I had a pair of scouts and they spent the night, I’m west of Shreveport.
I grew up eating Reubens like this one when I lived in Kansas City, except that nasty salad dressing, I miss them . My dad used to bring them home and we would have them for dinner, usually a half of one per person.
