If you have an HEB near you, their Mitad y Mitad (half corn, half flour) are BOMB

Lyra Erso was a non-Force-sensitive human that adhered to Jedi ideals ;)

Could one use this process to make a whiskey-based liqueur? Maybe with a higher-proof one like Rittenhouse or Old Grand Dad Bonded? What kind of flavorings would you use?

More Simpsons appropriateness

I was about to do the *huff* *huff* “But that’s Jaaaaango...” *huff* *huff* nerd thing before I read this caption, so thank you for sparing me the embarrassment :)  

While not a cook book per se, I’m a fella that loves a good home cocktail, and I love this book https://www.amazon.com/Curious-Bartender-artistry-creating-cocktail/dp/1849754373

The expression on this deer(?)‘s face is so perfectly “tha fuck is that?”

Nigel Tufnel may have an answer re: the name

A seventy-something “sentient” orange that is ostensibly a Free World Leader should not be one of them.

AMEN! Like I said in a post further up, Mattress Mack lives and breathes Houston. He cares deeply for the community, and he’s still one of the things I miss about my hometown.

I know exactly what you mean. I mean, saying “Houston” is much easier than saying “unincorporated Harris County.” I never started saying “Cypress” or “Cy-Fair” until I went to school at UT and started meeting both other Houstonians (common reaction: “oh, you’re not from Houston...”) and people from elsewhere in the…

That’s Mattress Mack to you dear lunchcoma ;) As a kid that grew up in Houston, he is a city treasure.

It’s a huge area. I’ve lost count, but I think the Cy-Fair school district has something like 11 high schools (Go Cougs! by the way) now if that’s any indication. The fact that a big part (maybe half now?) of “Houston” isn’t actually Houston is one of the things that I think that non-Houston metro area folks don’t…

I know that knot in the stomach very, very well. I’ve lived in Austin since 2003 when I left for school, but I grew up in Cy-Fair near 1960 and Perry (the northwest, not-actually-Houston-proper-burbs for non Houstonians). I was in high school when Allison hit, and watching that water slowly creep up our driveway was…

I’m more convinced than ever that Drumpf’s whole dumpster fire of a campaign has been one long (thinly veiled) ad for the eventual Trump TV network.

Quite literally in the case of a norovirus outbreak

When I was in high school (I went to a pretty huge one), someone came back from a cruise with norovirus. Within a day or two, the place looked like the beginning of a zombie apocalypse. People were running out into the halls and puking everywhere. About 2/3 of the school were out for a few days. I was one of the lucky…

Just a little observation—so Yoda tells Ezra to go to Malachor (I’m going to set aside KOTOR II connection). In one of the materials (can’t remember which) for TFA, it says that Kylo Ren got the cracked, unstable crystal from Malachor. In one of the trailers for this half of the season, we see Ezra holding a…

Full Disclosure: in the grand Trek vs. Wars debate, I will 99.9 percent of the time come down on the side of Star Wars.
