I am. But $7 for a fucking quart of ice cream at the grocery store, not Amy’s, is ridiculous.

My kids buy the $10 pints from Lick.

    That's the Mi Tienda version.

    Today I don’t care if my HEB is open, short staffed, or if I can’t buy shit  they make because it’s out of stock.   They always come through when Texans are in need.

The Garcia's brand is the same price and a bit better. The Mi Tienda version used to be equivalent, but was way too salty the last two times I bought it. And by too salty, I mean inedible.

The only gripe for those chips are that there are so many crumbs. Seems to be a lot of waste in the bottom of the bag. You’ve really got to be a regular in the “hey steel shank” cooking thread to be able to adequately utilize the entire bag.

These are dangerously close to replacing Julios for me.

Also, Hancock HEB expansion is coming along.  Getting excited for it.

They have replaced Julio's for me. Perfect thickness, not to salty and allow the flavor of whatever salsa you are using to shine. 

They’ve had a buy El Patio salsa and get a bag of chips for free deal going for a few weeks. Might end tomorrow.

Lick guy is from my hometown, it’s really good stuff but definitely expensive.

What does the El Patio salsa taste like? How hot is the hot version?

I got the Habanero with the coupon, as it was all that is left. I did not think it was very hot. Less Spice than the Mi Tienda Arbol. It's got a decent consistency, and a decent flavor, IMO, but I won't be rebuying. The Arbol is crack in comparison.

I like the el patio salsa but wife can’t handle the medium. I’d grade it better than ok but I likely won’t rebuy unless in sale.

The chips though are killer. For those out of range Tom Thumb now has the el patio chips but they’re on an endcap not in the chips aisle. Go buy some so they add them to the assortment. They are close to the chips at el Fenix with the little bubbles in them.

I can’t find el patio chips at the Leander HEB but I found this instead. I’ve become addicted to it.

I hate Julio’s chips and salsa. The only thing I can taste is the MSG.   

@BurntOrange&White got his wittle fee fees hurt.  I mean seriously, who sends neg reps for saying Julio’s chips and salsa suck.  Because it does, and the msg is right there on the label.   Have fun with your fake preservatives.   

chip shit talk not going away

Your cardiologist loves you more than you love that Julio’s salsa.  

I mentioned this in the gardening thread but it’s worth re-posting. Many HEB stores, at least in Houston, offer fresh frozen peas and beans  from a farm called Sides in Canton, Tx. Depending on what’s in season, their offerings might include green, butter or lima beans, purple hulls, black eyes, crowders and my absolute favorite, lady cream peas. These are found in a stand alone freezer in the produce section. Do yourself self a favor and pick some of these up.

How does one best consume "Lady Cream peas?" Presumably with Side 1 of Led Zeppelin 4 playing in the background?

These are pretty tasty by themselves and also dip well in things:

Those are solid, but I always just go with the Sourdough regular pretzels.  Delicious little snack. 

I have an unpopular opinion: I could give a shit about any kind of pretzel. I’ve eaten every kind in a bag or fresh, all over the place. I’ve never had one that told me I needed another.

Then you COULDN'T give a shit. Yea, I know, the trivial things that make you surly thread is that way.

Y'all have me curious, but I don't see myself cheating on their sea salt tortilla chips from the bakery.

It's a bag of chips.  Live dangerously.

Bakery taste way better but the Patio has the longer shelf life

the pretzel thins / wafers are damn delicious 

All his non refrigerated condiments causing him delusion 

I used to smoke three packs a day and drink a bit. Now all I have to live with some edginess is keeping my fucking ketchup in the pantry.

SEVEN in a package?  WTAF

There are many things that I don't miss about living in Texas since moving to another state, but H.E.B. will never be on that list.  No other grocery chain comes even remotely close.

Agreed. But they's tasty and it doesn't stop me from buying them.

Just buy 8 packages of wieners and 7 packages of buns.  Problem solved.

The frankfurters also take the time honored bowl of beans with chopped weiners to another level. And I'm just as likely to make a hotdog with a slice of bread as well as a bun.

Then why would you repeat the fucking process if you didn't need another?

I usually go 16 and 14 so I have a couple extra during the week for lunches/quick dinner. 

I usually go 220, 221. Whatever it takes.

I went to 222 at your momma’s house last night.
