re: Spent the day in College Station...

Wasn't aware. I don't see how you can tailgate when you're in the middle of a concrete parking lot with no trees. I doubt anyone can do tailgating anything like Tiger fans.
I refuse to go anywhere near A&M football since they fired RC and hired that dweeb Fran, talk about a cluster**** that has s...

I think I can speak to a number of things in this thread. I am an Aggie, born and raised. My first set of booties were A&M booties. When my dad asked me where I wanted to go to college he said he would pay for any school in the world as long as it was A&M.
I graduated with a BS in 1978 (started i...

He is opening a TexMex place in the old Tower theater on Westheimer in partnership with Robb Walsh who used to be the Houston Press food critic.

re: How many of you in here tithe?
Posted by drfood on 10/12/10 at 2:35 pm
So how do you folks who religously donate 10% or more of your hard earned money at the church feel about the leaders of your church setting up foundations or other shelters to prevent having to pay taxes. And have you ever wondered if they follow their own message of tithing? I know in the church I ...
Next Iron Chef--Are They Kidding?

Michael Symon as a judge??? WTF :spank:
The man is a hack. When it came down to him and John Besh he clearly lost. But some one at Food Network obviously has a hard on for him. Geez they have many better choices than him.
And what's up with the Indian chick? Are we now going to have to endure...
Frozen Crawfish Pie--AMAZING

As a PhD type in food science and Manager of R&D I am constantly looking for great new food items especially something from Louisiana.
Today at Spec's on Smith Street here in Houston I stopped in to look for some product for work in the food area. When I turned the corner at the entrance a very t...
re: Who's looking forward to Next Food Network Star tonight?
Posted by drfood on 8/8/10 at 8:31 pm
Aarsti fartsy is in realty a nightmare for Food Network. They've had several "wholesome" "nice" "demographically friendly" contestants. All have been a huge failure for the network. This whole concept of Aarti's Party is terrible.
Unfortunately it appears Tom has the inside track.
I'd prefer t...

Vandy Game--Place to Watch Jackson Hole WY
Posted by drfood on 7/27/10 at 12:16 pm
I know it's a long shot. Does anyone know of a place in Jackson Hole Wyoming that I could watch the Vanderbilt game? The place where I am staying does not have ESPNU on their tv offerings.
If not, does ESPNU offer on-line viewing live or delayed?
Thanks....
re: Mexican Coke - wtf?
Posted by drfood on 7/25/10 at 11:53 am
The problem we have is NOT related to sugar consumption. It is related to 3 things.
1. We eat on average 2.3x as much food daily as folks did in the 1950's and 60's.
2. We exercise about 60% less than the same period.
3. HFCS is in 95% of a processed foods and cannot be metabolized by the liver...
re: Mexican Coke - wtf?
Posted by drfood on 7/25/10 at 10:15 am
The label is correct. There are multiple variations on Coke now coming into the US from Mexico. You might get Coke w/Sugar or mixture of sugar and HFCS or HFCS. The label is applied in Mexico. Note the spelling of "Hig".
The problem with sugar is the supply chain. Brazil due to their conversion t...
re: Top Chef and Next Food Network Star-who ya got?
Posted by drfood on 7/16/10 at 10:12 pm
Let's hope Ahrti doesn't win. Food Network has already had 2 women failures on NFNS. Ahrti will drive people away because she only knows how to cook 1 style.
In reality none of them should win. The show started out as a great concept. Look at Guy Fieri and his success. Big Daddy has also had some...

No real suggestions on herbs. At my last job we worked with everything from cilantro to basil to rosemary to mint. One of my favorite is cilantro lime flavored.

re: Rice Recipes

I'm confused. Did you actually purchase an "instant rice maker"? The last time I saw an "instant rice maker" it was a piece of industrial equipment that would fill a space larger than most apartments and homes and cost in the millions of $ range. :lol:
If you bought a "rice cooker" then that is ...

+100000000 for Haven. Very close friends of mine own the place, Rhea Wheeler and Debbie Jaramillo. Rhea's from Lake Charles. If you go to Haven ask if either or both are there and tell them I told you to ask for them. They'll know who referred you if you say DrFood sent me.
Also, if it doesn't h...
