Super crunchy, but not hard/tough, and a perfect saltiness. My wife and I are both sold - these will be our go-to chip going forward. I appreciate your ruining my 'had been working' diet. Bag 3 in week 2.

I always preferred Julio’s but C&D was a good one for a change of pace. I guess they went bust because I haven’t seen them since first of the year.

May 11, 20241 yr Any recs for good sausage links? We're doing Q for Mother's Day. Cue "I'm going to give my wife the sausage" jokes.

May 11, 20241 yr Y'all have been super helpful, thanks.“Sausage” is often a euphemism for penis.Bet you didn’t know that.

May 14, 20241 yr PSA: I love Halibut but don’t eat it too often as it’s expensive. But it’s on sale for $19/lb. , down from $27/lb., through tomorrow. As an added bonus, the app has a $6 off coupon for any fresh seafood purchase over $15. So it’s $13/lb. for the first pound. Needless to say, I’m eating fish tonight.
May 17, 20241 yr Are HEB's standard Ridged/Wavy chips worth a shit? Always liked Wavy Lay's for sour cream/mayo-based dips, but they seem to suck lately.

I don’t know, but the Central Market ridged chips are my absolute favorite chip. I could blow through an entire bag in a single setting if I let myself.

May 26, 20241 yr @jimmyjazz Whenever I need to do a lot of sausage, I make the drive down to Lockhart and get a box of sausage (25 ct.) at Kreuz. While their overall performance isn't what it was, the sausage is still really good.

May 27, 20241 yr At my local HEB they were giving samples of that precooked burnt ends and if you wanted to do something quick and easy with that for like a sandwich they'd be perfect.

June 6, 20241 yr I usually get the box of Topo Chico bottles but HEB was out so I grabbed these instead. After throwing batting practice for my daughter in the batting cage out back, I grabbed some of these cold bottles from the fridge in the garage and slammed three. I don't know if it was the heat but I swear these are better than Topo Chico.
June 6, 20241 yr Bottled in Mineral Wells. Home of lithium infused crazy water. Does this have lithium in it?
June 6, 20241 yr As a Yank married to a Texan, every time we head back to visit her family or friends, I am struck by (1) how much most HEBs fuck, and how good most store brand/HEB stuff is; (2) how like one out of every five HEBs is an absolute shithole, and even some of the good ones have it pretty rough in the fresh produce section; and (3) how much I enjoy calling it "heeb," and how the joke has gone from "groan" to "c'mon, enough already," to "okay, actually laughing" over the last 15+ years I've been around her and her family.
June 6, 20241 yr What HEBs are absolute shitholes? The worst I can think of in Austin are Hancock, Riverside and 35/William Cannon (Oltorf would have made the cut) and that's just because of clientelle, not the actual store. Never seen bad produce at all, and I used to be an InstaCart shopper, so I've been to most of them in Austin.

June 6, 20241 yr Rundberg HEB says "Hi!" They really need to remodel that store and do something about the unbelievably shitty parking.

I used to shop the Burnet location but moved and now mostly hit-up the Hancock location. While they both have their own issues, they dominate the fuck out of that Rundberg spot. That mad max parking lot is something else. I recently swung by because they had a hot sauce that was sold out everywhere else and was quickly reminded of how much of a fucking dump it is.
