I live in suburban San Antonio, so I can’t go more than a mile or two in any direction and find a gas station. So, I usually just go by the light. If I’m feeling extra finicky, I’ll only fill to half tank to try and save on vehicle weight. I know in some of the other cities I have been like on the East coast or even…

Back during the great toilet paper scare of 2020, those recipes were an ass saver.

None of the thousands of other infectious diseases afflicting mankind needed a Chinese lab leak to first infect humans. They all had natural origins. There is zero evidence Covid came from the lab and there is no way the Chinese will allow anyone access collect any. No accountability is the main reasons to have an…

buffalo sauce is hot sauce and butter

San Antonio’s best Laundramat/Car Wash/Patio Cafe/Life Music Venue, The Cove, has a BBQ Jackfruit sandwich that tastes just like pulled pork. It’s the only thing I’ve had that is meant to imitate meat that actually tastes good. The other’s like Beyond and Impossible taste like a box of Sysco football stadium burgers…

The dog picked up on the owners distress.

Oh contraire. Restaurants tend to way over salt. I really noticed it during the pandemic when stopped eating restaurant food. It’s like a detox from the ridiculous amounts of butter, salt, and sugar they put in the food.

Sexy Canadians in alien Cascadian forests has been a thing in TV sci-fi for the last couple of decades starting with NEW bSg. It will be interesting to see how long that’s still a thing.

You need to visit Britain.  They are a people who invested every single ounce of culinary development into meat based pastries to the detriment of every other type of food (except for cheese, they do make good cheese).  

Rent downtown is a nightmare.  Much of the Keep Austin Weird era businesses have moved out, died, or gone corporate.  

Better player.

That’s a good idea.  Now, what would you do if the penny were missing?

You could use that same argument other Christmas movies. “It’s a Wonderful Life” is less of a Christmas movie than “Die Hard”. It is about a working class stiff trying to undo the evil machinations of a high class thief and eventually realizing that by the end of the film how important and rewarding his family is. The…

It would have been better to flip off your circuit breaker and stay at a 5 star hotel. I lost power for 3 days and as much as that sucked getting a bill like that is far far worse.

I lost power in San Antonio for 70 hours. Fortunately someone on Reddit suggested collecting the snow in ziplock bags and packing it in the fridge and freezer. Fortunately I had 7 gallon size zip lock bags. It served two really good purposes. Of course, it kept the food cold in the fridges and freezers. It also…

Of course it has Christmas themes. A man flies across the country to reunite with his estranged family over Christmas. He meets her at a holiday Christmas party. It has Christmas music:

I’ve got half a skillet of pasta sitting in my gas grilling chilling overnight from last night’s dinner. Who needs a refrigerator when mother nature brings the cold.  

Come on now, we’re Texans.
