sofamonkey - off topic, but the original pie conversation seems like a year ago, truly.

It really does. This week has been a looooong year!

What brand of ice cream is this?!?

www.heb.com/product-detail/h-e-b-select-ingredients-creamy-creations-honey-sopapilla-ice-cream/3473021

H-E-B is one of the only redeeming qualities of my Central Texas liberal existence within the republican shithole that is Texas.

And the Oreos for good measure:

Never thought I’d be rooting for Georgia on a November night. What a world. Go Gators.

Ahhhh FL/GA this weekend. Maybe I will hold back on hating Georgia as much as usual. 

Maybe instead of trash talking they’ll just ask if they checked the status of their absentee ballots online.

Sooo....say the Senate does end up 50-50. I know the VP is the tiebreaker but who gets to be the majority?

Whichever party holds the White House. The tiebreaker works for this in addition to everything else.

HEB was my college grocery store. I really wish they’d make it to north TX.

There’s one up there somewhere. My parents live in FW and consistently hear rumors that one is coming but it never happens.

Also just noticed that the Georgia margin went in Trump’s favor a tiny bit up to 1805

I know this is cheesy and it’s been stressful as hell, but it’s also been nice to “hang out” with everyone in this thread. I was just thinking how I feel bad for people who don’t have a place to dump their anxiety, teetotaler admissions, or get Gritty jokes.

yes, but it should be noted none of the votes were from Clayton county (overwhelmingly blue + thousands of outstanding votes)

It's good to see you again.  You haven't been around in ages.  I missed you.

I just tried to get my sister to move to Texas with us just for the ice cream and Oreos but she said no. The tortillas and chips might work though.

Guys I mentioned Gritty seven hours ago and it’s still going. Well done 🤣

I can’t seem to quit this place. No longer TTC in any capacity, so I am just around here trying to keep up with the smart gals. 

You should PM me if you’d like to be Instagram friends, I have kept up with a few of the ladies from here there throughout the years.

It is because we already have HEB. It is called Hurst, Euless, Bedford. 

Ba-da--ching!

(These are suburbs of Fort Worth, and they even have an HEB school district.)

Yes! I miss making trips to breweries

Well they're doing outdoors dining and you can get drinks from Junkyard! It's the best since the weather has been so nice still. 

If it was closer, I would be there in a heartbeat. We lucked out that a liquor store near us gets deliveries of Junkyard each week. We got tickets for their Rare Beer Picnic last year and had so much fun.

I'm not sure how it works federally, but this happened in CT in 2016.  Since the Lt. Governor is the Senate President, the Democrats still had the majority. 

However, to keep the peace I believe that they shared leadership in committees.

Can some one please reply with a tiktok of Pretty Fly for a White Guy when they very quickly count numbers in Spanish?

Since we’re all talking about booze, I am proud to say I am drinking a Black is Beautiful collab imperial stout. This one is from Invictus Brewing in MN.

blackisbeautiful.beer/

My local (Philly, holla!) brewery did a Black is Beautiful beer and it's so good. And now they are selling it for 4 four-packs for $40 and I may or may not have bought 6 four packs  (Edited to change my math. I;m drinking. They are 10% beers)

Oh, we bought a case of that! Lots of breweries nationwide made it (but I'm also in the Philly area). For those who don't know, the recipe was shared with participating breweries who agreed to donate 100% of the proceeds to organizations that promote racial equality.

You guys are making me sad. I started a new medication and it's been making beer taste funny 😭😭😭.

It can’t ever be 50-50 because Bernie is an independent. I swear to all that is holy, if McConnell is majority leader because Bernie changed his status back to independent after claiming he was a democratic to run for president, I will...not handle it well. (There are two independents that caucus with Dems, aren’t there? If they were both Ds, would we possibly be looking at the majority? Can they switch??)

Clearly I know nothing about how the senate works, so if this is all wrong, I apologize.

GO TO BED!!!




Just kidding. Stay up and have pie.

I made my first ever sweet potato pie on Sunday, ate two slices and then threw it away because it wasn’t great. I’m regretting that decision because now I have no pie at all. I however do have 6 pints of ice cream, including honey sopapilla, and Mexican hot chocolate oreos. I suppose I should bust one of those out.

What is this honey sopapilla ice cream you speak of and where can I get it?
