  1. We visited a local restaurant, Eau Tour, that I have been wanting to go to for a while. Unfortunately I didn't take a pic of the better halves' red snapper...it was the best cooked fish I have had in a long while. The duck confit looks rather drab but the sauce was amazing and the side was a grilled lettuce or cabbage layered like lasagna with delumpcious cheesy stuffs... Thumbs up to this joint if you find yourself in Houston. HS
  2. Penned some amazing cars...godspeed, Mr. Gandini... HS
  3. I'm shopping for a new "full size" scale. Very pleased with the small Acaia Lunar that was an incentive to purchase my espresso maker a few years ago. I tried replacing my Amazon scale of 10 years with another and it drifts...not bad but I'm over it. Looking at the Acaia Pearl. Looks like plenty of scale for my needs (i.e. think pour over in a Chemex). I'm struggling to understand whether the Acaia Pearl S is worth the add'l cost, and I'm thinking it's not worth the delta. https://acaia.co/collections/coffee-scales Thoughts? Thanks in advance! HS
  4. My beloved 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk was stolen from the airport parking lot in Dec 2022 while vacationing. They stopped production in 2021 so a new one was not on the books. I found a 2018 in the same color combo, but it was misrepresented...not clean enough for me to love it and it being a first year model it wasn't as good as later production. It will be sold before long. Finally found a 2021 of very low mileage...literally smells brand new. Only problem is the first owner ticked the box for the gloss black hood and roof. The roof I can't really see and it blends into the windshield so I chose to leave it alone. I did have a white pearl wrap affixed to the hood...I'm finally happy enough to kick off the power modifications. Pleased as punch I finally found a daily I can love again...and beat on...LOL. HS
  5. Gov't Mule. My first time. Great jam band. HS
  6. It is hard to beat a ribeye as a cut of steak....yummy chow! I tried sous vide on them a few times and finishing up over a very high flame or in an iron skillet, but IMHO the cut is so delicious it's not worth the climb vs simply cooking them... HS
  7. Lovely spread, Grahame! The Spaniard starters…and the lamb looks to be cooked perfectly. Yum! HS
  8. Crab Pani Puri starter at a local indian fusion joint we are fond of... Some stuffed cheesy naan that was super. HS
  9. Holy moly....I feel so much better about my racy Onyx Coffee Labs purchases...LOL. HS
  10. All the Sumo stuff is giving me flashbacks to our time in Jakarta. The TV was limited...this was 97-98. So the wife loves sports and really got into watching Japanese Sumo which was on frequently. She even had her favorite...short but powerful and a champ. Aging myself yet once again...LOL. HS
  11. I started watching Obliterated as well. Uncomplicated and that's fine by me. I wanted some solo content and this one is good enough. Good bit of sex on this one between pretty people...bonus. HS
  12. Drinking or eating... I'm not proud regardless....LOL. HS
  13. Love my niche zero. There's something about it...the design is simple. It weighs enough that it's substantial which for whatever reason one often correlates to quality. It's uber low maintenance. The wife hasn't said much so apparently it's not a big eye sore. Great purchase IMHO. I bought a bunch of Intelligentsia coffees. The Celebration has been really good....so much so I gifted a bag to our neighbors. Definitely better value for money than Onyx Coffee, but I keep going back to them now and again... HS
  14. There is something about a Cartier tank... HS
