Try lamb, pork and beef 

Want it to taste even more savory? Dash in some fish sauce to the mix.

Fish sauce?  why?

 

[Guster]

No standard Lambskin recipe using ground beef and spicy sausages.  And lots of kidney beans

sounds like a tasty stew!

Beans?

Oh noes

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

And actually I have people that take care of the planning when they are. Should have delegated this to PR chick.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of overthinking things. In honor of our guest from out of town, I think we should pick an Austin classic rather than some obscure east side spot that I would normally pick like Shangri-La or the Brixton.

So, let's cornhole Monday at 7 pm at the bar at The Driskill. Classic Austin scene, good drinks and easy access to any number of other restaurants or locations.

I have a thing at 6pm that I have to attend. I probably won't get out of there until at least 8 is my guess.

Fish sauce?  why?

Adds savory flavor to meat

sitting on the family couch Friday night. wife, me and the youngest. oldest was at a sleepover.

my 5 year old looks at me:   "dad! there's a bird in the house!!!  LOOK AT THE CAAAAAAAAAAAATS!!"

my wife:  uh, can you go... check on that "bird"?  (pulls a blanket over her and the kid)

me: i didn't see anything

meanwhile the cats are bouncing up and down, chattering and trying to catch the "bird". 

i wandered in to the kitchen. cats are on the counter looking up on top of our cabinets and sure enough, it's a ####### bat.

so i did what any responsible parent would do. put the kid on the steps upstairs, shut the door, opened the front door of the house and waited outside until that mother####er evacuated the premises.

If you got one bat, you got more. They love attics and eves. Might want to get that inspected you don't want to be inhaling bat guano

Fish sauce is magical. It is the Worchestershireerer of SE Asia.

Oh I like it just fine.  I just never would have considered it for meatballs.  

Wonder if Tanner enjoys it:  Fish sauce is an amber-colored liquid extracted from the fermentation of fish with sea salt.

I tend to put a dash of Worchesetersire in almost anything I do with ground meats. Same thing, but for the translucent peoples.

Just checked the menu at the Driskill Grill.  No boneless wings.  Lame.




 

Start with drinks at the Driskill - great place.  I always liked Manuel's mole enchilada - like it better than the Iron Cactus.

I'm honored to be the guest of honor then. 

The conference I am attending has some opening reception from 6-8.  I can probably get out before then and meet over there.  There are just 4 women from my company attending as well and I dont want to just ditch them the first chance I get.  Well, I DO want to do that, but cant really.  But I will make it work.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

I am supposed to land around 12:20 on Monday. I have this reception at 6 that night. Tuesday I am in the conference all day, but have downtime 4-7 and I fly out wednesday at 2pm.  My boss is telling me to skip all morning sessions on Wednesday and get in line at Franklins for barbecue at 9am instead.

Sister had been feeling sick for the last few days, so decided to go to the doctor today and it was discovered that she has a parasite. Not life-threatening or anything terribly serious, but the drug she was prescribed recently went from $6/dose to $700. And it's on backorder.  

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Oh. Had my CT scan and other tests. Still have some other things to go through, but looks like none of the big Cs. It does appear that my wife and mom are right though; I am full of ####.

And this morning their are 4 transactions over $1000 posted to my account from a Vietnamese travel agency. ?

What the guck us bank?

More like 40 at that amount.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

10 per transaction?  He said Vietnamese, not Thai.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

4 transactions of $1000 each. 

But, yeah, I get the point that Thai can be baht more cheaply.
