I live a slow simmered New Mexico green chile pork stew made with braised shoulder. I had bought some ground pork, and I had some poblanos turning. So I made a quick green chile with the ground pork and a pound of ground venison. Basically a couple onions, chopped peeled poblanos, cumin, 28 oz green chile, broth, taters. It came out great and took less than a half hour to make.
My DiL entered a charity raffle and won a quarter of a wagyu steer. I’m expecting a fine ass Thanksgiving. Hopefully the quarter is more than the head, legs, and tail.
Back in the 80’s my cousin and I pulled up at a Whataburger about midnite. The girl at the drive thru was nice and handed us our food, but the hey forgot his shake so we’re waiting. One of the dudes behind the counter came up behind her and hit her with a stun gun and she crumpled to the floor in a spasm. Dude just laughed. My cousin says “sonofabitch. That cocksucker is a parolee!” He went inside and called the cops, when they showed he showed his Paroles and probation ID and revoked his ass. Got an ambulance for the girl and told her to sue Whataburger.
food got tossed as he wouldn’t eat where parolees worked. He knew almost all had aids. Went to jib.
Hanging on to old stores that underperform is a problem for many large multi unit chains. They think it makes bad PR but neighborhoods and markets change, and poor real estate management is a major reason many enter the death spiral.
When RadioShack was a major retailer they closed upwards of 300-500 stores a year, and usually opened a similar number elsewhere.
It’s in the brine in my container. If serving I’d spoon into a strainer over a bowl and return the brine to the container, the put the product in the serving dish. It’s mainly vinegar seasoned with cumin seeds, Mexican oregano, garlic, black pepper, and of course the veg. If I still drank I’d use it in a dirty martini.
Another sign of the apocalypse. The global acceptance of Satan’s bean in the end times is mentioned several times in the Bible. Who would willingly eat a fucking kidney bean?
I used to make this a lot and then forgot it. Escabiche used to be a mainstay of TexMex joints. You’d get a bowl of it with your chips and hot sauce. I like it with mostly onions and carrots, and the jalapeños sliced instead of whole. Yeah they’re seeded. I don’t like pickled pepper placenta. And it’s easier to eat.

which of you rich fellers is buying a couple of these?
Was coming home a couple weeks ago from a meeting and wife said pick up a couple of pizzas. I know that means for her thin crust from Pizza Hut with extra cheese and our toppings. I was thinking Corky’s. I remembered Zalat had a south Arlington joint so I pulled into the lot and ordered. Walked in at the appointed time.
got home and they were cold. The crust was awful, hard and tough. Like a cardboard disc under a frozen pie. Cheese on one was practically non existent. The other had little cheese but it was overcooked into cheese leather. Toppings were scant. Pepperoni and salami was transparent, shaved black olives (huh?), and veg were skimpy. $50 for garbage. It happens. I’m a retail veteran. Dude had a bad night. Called the store. No answer that night or any day subsequent. They have no public phone for HQ. They sent me a text a minute after I left. Sent the details. Zip. I wrote a couple reviews online. Got a robot response to one. Send a note to “support”. Sent four more. Nothing.
I always am interested in how retailers handle problems. I might learn something. I have gotten those calls from customers: “ your directv installer is urinating in my kitchen sink!” “Your car installer ripped my leather in my Jaguar with his Makita!”, “your salesman is hitting on my wife!”. Things that aren’t in the faqs. Or SOM. Wife worked in the largest cemetery/funeral in Memphis. They fuck up. Bring the wrong corpse out for visitation. Give em a silly hairdo. Lose the cremains. How do you solve it?
companies that try to automate problems will generally just fuck it up. I just want my money back.
From outside this looks like the logical answer. It’s the way life works. Terrible issues usually dissipate. But once a person enters that world where suicide appears as the path to ending their pain, whether it’s brain chemistry, or emotional, or genetic, it’s a very complex basket of snakes to untangle.
the “wait a while scenario” usually only works with strong intervention, therapy, love, and monitoring. And still it often results in failure to prevent it.
I have a friend who’s 12 year old daughter did it out of the blue. Can’t imagine the guilt and pain. Several others thru the years who did for odd reasons that just destroyed their families.
He played in a handful of games as he was hurt all last year. He was 24. High school and directional school ball doesn’t have the power in hits to helmet. Blaming CTE for this is delusional.
Just awful. What demons get into a kid’s head as he looks so successful? The Cowboys have always done much to help their players with personal troubles whether Gregory, or Tyron Smith, Josh Brent, or even Kelvin Joseph. Jerry loves redemption stories.
Like he left home intent on harming himself. Just sick gor the family.
Kneeland news is tragic. No cause announced yet but this was a kid with a ton of potential. He was injured last year and just starting to figure it out. He recovered the blocked punt for a TD Monday night.
A 2 star high school prospect that went to 2nd tier Western Michigan. Elevated himself into a 2nd round pick by Dallas. They gave him 94, which is one of their “special” numbers. And the media was very high on him as a person and a developing talent. Damn shame.
the league has a thousand of these players that overcome odds and labels to make it onto a 53. I love these stories about the nfl and it’s a shame his story ended just as it was starting.
Haven’t watched yet but how does Aarti and Crista Luedtke go twice? I don’t get Christa’s appeal to Guy; she’s is an annoying cunt.
also, an unpopular opinion but we really don’t like Jet Tila. So fucking boring. We don’t like Alex G either.
some of these teams seem really contrived. Let’s put the Asian chicks together.
I want to see how Shirley Chung has recovered from her tongue cancer. Lady can cook.
I always stay off Michigan and eat ribs at Carson’s. They own the ribs.com url. It’s evolved from an old timey Greek steakhouse, so my boss and I sit at the bar, eat shrimp de jonghe, and a rack of baby backs. They are heavily smoked, proclaim them “never boiled” which is an issue with yankee ribs, and douse them in a very good bbq sauce into a glaze. It’s not a Texas rib or a Memphis rib but still enjoyable eating.
I had the Kenny’s Roger’s album back in the early 70’s with I Just Walked In. I never thought it would be the anthem for a drug addled dream 50 years later
If you see this give it a shot. Dublin Bottling of the late great Dublin Dr Pepper. They can’t call it that of course or even Dr Dublin or anything similar or they’ll get sued to hell by Schweppes or whatever global Bond villain conglomerate that now owns Dr Pepper.
1891 founders vintage cola. It’s real sugar DP with a slight touch of more cherry. Texas awesomeness here. The lemonade, root beer, grape, and grapefruit are great as well.
