RidingAgain Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I've found this one to be best to my liking... But Walmart has a generic one too that is not bad, and about a dollar cheaper. I buy this one at SAMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realized that it was edited in a way that made it seem as though he was on location. Pretty sure he wasn't. The concept of a Texas boy ice fishing by himself is questionable at best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Central Market had a line outside over to the beauty supply store. Letting in 5 people at a time. It was surreal, very nerve wracking. Since my wife normally does the shopping I was out of my element and also shopping for my in-laws that should not be in stores.

After almost 5 days at home had to make a call for work, taking me to Bastrop yesterday. Stopped in to the Specs to restock and they had the 6ft rule in place and there were only 8-12 people total in there including myself. I was gloved up and trying to keep my distance from the clerk who was pushing 70 y/o. When I asked WTF the oldest guy was doing working the register, he replied that he was the only one willing to work. Damn. TBT, I couldn't GTFO of that place fast enough. On the bright side, I bought almost $150 worth of beer and cava😁 Edited March 20, 2020 by ATXZJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not my go-to fave food though. Sprouts was out of Brown Cow cream on top, chocolate on the bottom yogurt; that made me briefly sad. Whatever you do, don't squeeze them unless you know what you're doing. Most people don't. You'll ruin them for everyone else. That's terrible advice for Haas avocado (the most kind with the wrinkled skins that turns black). Buy them green, away from where the people have been squeezing them. Store in the fridge, pull out a couple of days before you want one (or all). Once they turn mostly to all black they'll be good. The squeezing thing is basically enough to compress the flesh on your fingers. Very light squeeze. You shouldn't make a dent in the avocado. If it starts giving at all at the same time as your flesh is compressing (not even a mm) then it's ready. But I don't even use this method b/c it's so easy to just do the above method with the Haas avocados. I avoid buying "need them for today" avocados. Every once in a while you'll get a green one that when it ripens, and when you open it, you can clearly see the finger indentations. It's still all mostly good and usually the bad stuff stays stuck to the skin. Eat the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna print all of that and frame it. pro tip: HEB sells decent pre-made guac, but the regular stuff is a bit too tangy and salty for my taste. I want to taste the avocado, not a bunch fo salt and onion. the "avocado spread" is cheaper and tastes like proper guac.

The Tip Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 HEB makes their guacamole just like I do. I have no qualms about buying theirs. It's as good as mine. To be honest I think the HEB test kitchen guy and I have exactly the same tastes. Pretty much everything they make I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife was a school administrator and had to deal with parents of students who refused to vax. they see something on FB and assume its true and then proceed to put 2499 other students at risk because their kid is special. those parents usually pull their kids and homeschool them anyway. as a bonus those kids will never leave home and will live isolated in the basement for the remainder of their sheltered lives.

Usually found in the produce section, on the cold shelves, says 'Made in Store' in big letters.
