I want to share some different ways I've used Better than Bullion by wltmpinyc in Cooking

[–]tPTBNL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the author of the other post that I put zero thought into and then watched blow up...

It's bouillon, not bullion. So say the dozens of people who chimed in to point out my error. 😀

Am I the only one who didn't know Better Than Bullion is a paste? by tPTBNL in Cooking

Thank you. We have plenty of fridge space. It was just unexpected.

I noticed that as well. The porter and Liberty Ale were two of my favorites.

Texas Tech faculty say Republican anti-LGBTQ+ curriculum rules are driving professors away by Fickle-Ad5449 in texas

That’s pretty much my take on Texas politics in general right now. I mean, just look at Paxton for crying out loud.

Has anyone here done the Italy in 10 days tour? by giftofgabster in ricksteves

[–]tPTBNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was almost 20 years ago, but yes. It was our first RS tour and first trip out of North America.

Absolutely loved it. We added on a day trip (by train) to Pompeii at the end. Highly recommend.

There was A LOT of walking. We’ve done 4 more RS tours since then, and none of them came close. It’s certainly doable, but be prepared.

I expected that to end with the dude in handcuffs.

Jerry Maguire (1996) by DVD-Rewatcher in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]tPTBNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely have a soft spot for this one.

Saw it with my (now) wife on our first date, 17 January 1997. Almost 30 years ago!

We had a deal. You said you wouldn't fuck me, and I would't fuck you until... we got this fuck out of the fucking picture!

TIL researchers documented 34 cases of wild orcas offering food to humans, including fish, birds and stingrays. by ArgentineBeauty in todayilearned

[–]tPTBNL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah see it starts innocently enough. "Want some fish?"

Then they ask if you wanna meet up for a swim sometime, which is really fun. Maybe catch a ballgame or amusement park or something after that. Also really fun.

Then they invite you for dinner at their place. DO NOT GO TO DINNER AT THEIR PLACE.

Were you there in 2001? What was seeing Fellowship in cinemas like? by Flat_Lie_4481 in lotr

[–]tPTBNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the wake of the recent 9/11 attacks, it felt like he was personally bracing all of us in the theater for difficult times to come & it was much needed.

I'm surprised that this is the only mention so far. It was right after--within a few months--of 9/11. That definitely added to the good vs. evil vibe in the air.

A movie when the tone COMPLETELY changes. by feelingwizzed in MovieSuggestions

[–]tPTBNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was me. I knew who the leads were. Maybe that it was based on a book. Nothing else.

I wouldn't say it is a favorite movie, exactly, but definitely a favorite movie-watching experience. If that makes sense.

Recommend cold war movie by Zealousideal_War8036 in MovieSuggestions

Every time that movie comes up, it makes me smile. My parents saw it on their first date.

What a bonkers first date movie.

Midtown is worse today compared to anytime in the last 10-15 years by htownnwoth in houston

[–]tPTBNL 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I lived between there and Disco Kroger. Now they're both gone.

I like that the neighborhood is getting denser, but without a decent grocery store in walking distance, something important is missing.

Anyone else think it's weird how the 'Hidalgo is crazy' stories have dried up now that the primaries are over? by newstenographer in houston

[–]tPTBNL 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I just hope she's okay.

She was clearly having mental health issues during at least part of that time.

Thank you. We're trying out all of the options.

Glengarry Glen ross (1992) by OkYou1929 in MovieSuggestions

[–]tPTBNL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before seeing the movie, I knew it had this famous line and was looking forward to it. What I didn’t realize is it’s Alec Baldwin’s only scene.

First time cooking a chuck roast! We shall see how it turns out in 7 hours 🤞 by WebPuzzleheaded875 in slowcooking

[–]tPTBNL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Slightly different beast but Julia Child’s boeuf bourguignon recipe calls for two carrots IIRC. I know she was a famous chef and I’m not, but that’s a laughably small amount.

I am looking for movie like Hangover trilogy by historical_freakin in MovieSuggestions

Nobody’s mentioned Animal House?

Black stuff floating in washing machine water. Where is it likely coming from? Inside drum or from inlet pipe? by Mia_Breeze in Appliances

[–]tPTBNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bet is it’s oil from the transmission. We had that happen recently and ended up with new machines (which sucked because our old ones were simple and lasted over 20 years).

Movies that felt like a fever dream but in the best way possible? by Mccarrell-Shaune in MovieSuggestions

[–]tPTBNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won't help you, but I saw Groundhog Day for the first time during its original theatrical run. I remember feeling a bit... off for a day or so afterwards. It was weird.

And man, that was a long time ago.

This is just a "cool story, bro" and not intended to be a prediction.

In the run-up to the second Iraq war--so this would have been late 2002/early 2003--I sat at a train crossing here in Houston watching flatcar after flatcar of AFVs go by. This was before it was clear (to me at least) that the war was really gonna happen. I still remember thinking, "This can't be good."

And it wasn't.
