Observations
Sure , once upon a time they were helpful to the family. Now it seems the “cooking” method of choice. Nothing says I care about feeding my friends and family like standing around a microbox. Really brings everyone together.
The boxes have bake potato and pop corn buttons. They are wrong in the “cook” time (I tried to use it a few times-Fail) and if one was to read the ingredient list on a bag of nuke pop corn? Only a scientist would know what the hell that shit might be. Hell, the USDA is kind of iffy on waved food like stuff.
It takes less time from start to finish to make lasagna from scratch than a frozen stuffybrand.
In all truth, I carry a one dollar bill and two dollars in change. That is it. The debit card is stashed away. My credit union acct is paperless so no checks. I keep a credit card for emergency use hidden away.
I just don’t spend money willy nilly. That is prolly part of being a Chef. Know where you money is going and how long till you get it back.
Sadly, another local restaurant went away because they didn’t know how to keep the books. Happens every day across the world. There is no such make it and they will come as a rule. Sigh
If you find yourself in the Austin, Texas Metro you MUST eat here. You’ll thank me (and John) later

I am a believer of the wood as the way to go for grilling and smoking. Propane has its place but IMHO, it just sucks for home grilling. Especially in my area of the woods. It tends to be windy in the Spring and Fall and the grill just will not hold the heat very well.
Sorry Hank Hill. It is what it is.
Along comes this. Interesting how they show that if you can use a toaster, then this product is just for you.

Thank goodness it is over. Certainly the money spent by the tourists is appreciated. The littering is certainly not. Nor are folks driving that believe the traffic signals and signs are only gentle suggestions and optional.
A question was posed about local restaurants/bars in the heart of the SXSW festivities raise the menu prices during the event. I can’t honestly think of a good reason why they shouldn’t. The reality is that most of those visitors are not going to come back to the area for anything other than attending SXSW, ACL, and ROT. It is what it is.
They really bother me. It is like they have some sort self awareness. They manage to know when I have extra money in the bank and decide it is the perfect time to crap out.
What is that?
Dunno.
What are ya gonna do with it?
Fry it.
I’ll get the pan.
