Cheese Enchiladas
You should have put a spoiler on that post! I can't unsee the horror. Cheese Whiz enchiladas?

Cheese Enchiladas
The NEISD recipe calls for topping the enchiladas with gravy when served. This lets the cheese get bubbly and maybe a bit crunchy.

You should be good on beer/wine at normal hours at grocery stores this weekend.

Texas liquor laws
Pretty sure that Dallas dry stuff in the 1990s was at a precinct level within a county. And yes, the big liquor retailers were very active politically to preserve those dry statuses so as to keep their stores located on the boundaries very profitable.

Me, too. I am behind the times. It looks like they changed the law in 2018/19. No more 3.2. Full strength beer is now legal in OU Sucks. I'm guessing that meth had gained a big competitive advantage over weak beer.

Chili gravy is what makes it great! Congrats.

But only 3.2 beer. You have to take the good with the bad.

With a big caveat in your case -- you'd have to pass a background check.

Maybe it is a tacit admission that the "road diet" that they have imposed on Barton Springs is an abject failure and will eventually be undone?

Yes. There is lots of money involved in keeping the post-prohibition status-quo in place. Three-tiered distribution system, limited on-site sales at breweries, vineyards, distilleries. Attempts to limit chain liquor stores and online or mail-order sales. One of my favorites is the TABC rule that you can't make alcohol seem to be "appealing" -- hence, it's a violation to advertise or promote beer as "cold beer."

It's almost always the right decision to support whatever Bill Bunch opposes when it involves things downstream of the Springs that he's allegedly saving.

Selling A Company
Good thread. Just a point about prepping a company for sale. A strategic buyer is going to be less concerned about well-documented systems and processes, succession planning, etc. They will just be looking at how easy or difficult it will be to bolt-on the acquisition to their existing platform. Whereas all of those at systems and processes, etc. documentation will be likely very important to a financial buyer. They will be looking for the ability to replicate, scale and grow the company based upon the additional capital they are providing, hopefully without having to get their hands too dirty beyond inserting a CFO that they trust and having board-level involvement. It seems that they almost always have a 5-year timeline until they intend to achieve an "equity event." So they will pay a premium for a company that is ready to hit the ground running, so to speak.

This is the way, but don't overlook the importance of searing the roast prior to beginning the slow cook. It's actually science: https://oldguykitchen.com/2019/01/04/the-maillard-reaction-a-cooks-best-friend/

It always makes it seem more realistic if they take the ear tag off of the livestock before they release it from the pen to allow you to "harvest" it in the wild.

Some OLD Cajun recipes
Who am I to judge the knowledge of these giants of Cajunhood? But putting shrimp in your roux so far prior to adding in The Trinity and additional stock and veggies just seems wrong. Shrimp is one of the last things I ever add to a seafood gumbo. Who needs a bunch of over-cooked rubbery shit in their gumbo?

Terry Black's is the answer. Solid for a place that keeps regular hours 7 days a week.

Fort Worth is exploding
Better said, Dallas retreads and chains in downtown/central. Del Frisco's Double Eagle, Bob's Steakhouse, The Capital Grille, Texas de Brazil, Eddie V's, Ruth's Chris, Silver Fox, etc. seem to be where lots of business meals happen. And that's usually what I'm doing when I'm in Fort Worth. I love the old standbys like Angelo's, Railyard, Joe T's, Cattlemen's Steakhouse, and The Original Mexican Eats downtown. Sounds like there are more places that I should explore. Thanks for the comment.
