I went the Bunker Hill store at 8:30 this morning hoping to beat the crush. Nope.

    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.

I have to go at noon pray for me. 

My wife is headed to the HEB pharmacy.  5 minute drive.  I expect her home in 2 hours.

It's amazing how much of my running grocery list I can "nope" out when people freak over some winter weather.

Wife and I went to Central Market and the Montrose HEB before the church crowds let out. Both were pretty easy. By the time we were leaving HEB at 12:25 people were losing their shit in the parking lot. Glad we got that out of the way.

Surprisingly she made it there and back in 45 minutes, and got in some shopping besides Rx pickup.  Store wasn't slammed at all.

FUCK YOU OMELETTES ARE MY SURVIVAL FOOD!!!!

Central Market on Lamar is a constant shit show after 10am on any day now. Parking lot is just a revolving crusade of people hoping against hope to find a spot. It wasn’t like this 3 months ago. I don’t know what happened, but I refuse to try now.

Hah!  Bijan’s team sent out a blast email to do the HEB online petition for carrying products, which my whole family did….and:

Did they respond to the online request? Went to customer service to make a request and they said it’s all online now. Made the request. No response. No product. 

They should request it the old fashion way with picket line.

The Hancock HEB is my "home" store and its already a shitshow these days with all the construction and constantly migrating inventory. This was me entering the parking lot yesterday early afternoon

The crazed look of the hordes streaming to the entrance caused me to nope the fuck out of there before I ever parked, and I headed over to the far west HEB where I could shop in a civilized manner. Burnet or Mueller didnt even get a consideration.

As someone who recently started shopping at HEB is their a cliff note version of their must buy items?

Items I don't have to put on a list because I buy them pretty much every single time:

Sea salt tortilla chips, fresh tortillas, and bolillos from the bakery

Post oak smoked chicken, Taco Deli Salsa Dona, pesto jack cheese cubes, and store-made jalapeno pimento cheese from the deli

Mi Tienda Salsa Chile de Arbol

HEB premium jalapeno smoked sausage

A box of their "Thin Wheat" crackers- wife's favorite

HEB Higher Harvest almond milk

A bag of HEB Cafe Ole' coffee (whichever one sounds good that day)

And maybe a bottle of Diet Dr. B at the register

The black bean dip is really good. The dona is nice and spicy. 

Stop at El Pollo Rico and get their version.

That was my home store back in the day when I was renting on E. 46th St.

Mi TIenda tamales.

Pretty dang solid.

Recently noticed mi tienda also has ready to cook tortillas in the fridge section, next to the biscuits and such. 

Heb tortillas on a scale of 1-10 is probably 7 or 8, way better than the shit that sits on the shelf, but not as good as some restaurants or the abuela who just loves to cook.

These have been out for several years now, depending on the store.  They started out with just flour tortillas of a couple of different sizes, and they're terrific.  They've branched out to corn tortillas, and I find them very off-putting.  Odd textures.

Wife brought me back a couple of packs of their spicy pork tamales from her recent trip back from DFW.  They are good.

It's good. My favorite is at El Borrego del Oro on Ben White and Congress.

Taco Deli started the dona. Others now have better versions.

Taco Deli stole the dona. That shit was around before they were. 

They stole jalapenos, garlic, salt, and oil. Yeah, that's some proprietary shit there.

Well, they sure as fuck didn't start it. 

Taqueria Arandas and a thousand taco trucks in Houston were doing jalapeno emulsion sauce for decades before Taco Deli. That being said, their version is pretty decent. That also being said, a manager recently told me the company that makes the retail version doesn't exactly follow their recipes all the time so it is hit or miss and sometimes not available. If you really want it, you're better off buying it from Taco Deli if you there is one near you.

Noticed this on a recent purchase from HEB. Its good, but definitely not the OG recipe. 

Our HEB was clearing out the TacoDeli Salsa Verde a couple months ago at half price and there was a reason for that: it's average at best. 

It's a ridiculously easy salsa to make.  Someone posted a good knockoff recipe here at some point.  I'll see if I can find it.

Jesus, whay JimmyJazz said. I've posted the recipe here at least twice. It's beyond easy and fucking deeeeeeelicious. 

I don't put the cilantro in mine, despite loving cilantro, as I've found that it makes the sauce go bad faster.

Go for the trifecta?  I'll actually save it this time.
