Neither here nor there, but if I were buying a non-freestanding home in Austin in the next 3 years, I'd get in here while they're still available: http://publiclofts.com/

Looks nice, but that is way far south from where I would want to be.

290 and Congress is too far south?
From what? North Austin? If that, then yeah.

I would probably want to live north of the river or maybe to the west a little bit.

North of the river starts ~$600,000k-$1.5M and decreases as you go further north. West is tolerable once you get past Mopac but then gets intolerable again. And then you live on the moon.
When St. Elmo's Marketplace is done it's going to be amazing.

Is anything going on east of I 35? I had a buddy that bought a little house over there and fixed it up. It was super nice and there were a few places looking good in the neighborhood that other people had fixed up, but there more than a few crack houses, too.

You know, I didn't like the former post here. It was funny in a heartless gentrification way, but it wasn't really descriptive.
The city is treating east of I-35 to about Comal as an extension of downtown. Especially since they're considering burying I-35 through that corridor, basically making it downtown.

Spent nine days in France & Germany. Today brought home some soup from Panera because we are still lagged. The bread here is an embarrassment to our species.

It's always been a point of terrible irony that a place called Panera Bread would have the worst bread in America. I thought everyone knew that though.

Yeah it's utter utter shit in the way only bread from mass produced and flash frozen dough can be.

We have good bread here in the US but it may hard to get some depending on where you live. Even here at ground zero of the "high hydration" dough movement the really good stuff usually sells out quickly so you have to work at it to get some.

So my kid's moving out this morning. Movers here and everything. (He worked out movers cost less than moving rent in two places while he moves over the course of a month or three).
I've been pretty okay with it, until when sorting through some stuff I found some of the first video games I ever bought him -- Nintendo 64 stuff and PS2 stuff. I don't even know where the N64 is right now.

Son moving out will be easy. Daughter has taken to spending nights at her boyfriend's house. She's almost 19 so I can't protest without being hypocritical but it does kill me.

Panera Bread is decent compared to all the bread you can get around here (which is frankly shit). The only reason we've been able to get good bread here is we found a New Jersey Jew who married a woman from Mississippi years ago, got out of finance to do his passion (bake bread) and set up a bread shop here selling mostly to the restaurants around town. His bread is the tits.

What about cornbread? Best I've had was in Mississippi. Sure... it's more cake than bread, but it was good.

Cornbread is different, you can get decent cornbread just about anywhere in Mississippi.
Good barbecue, however, is surprisingly hard to find though we just had a place open up down the road that's pretty good.

Interstate BBQ near Southaven is pretty good... better than anything in Memphis. Disclaimer: I say this based on the reviews from friends... I don't eat red meat.

We've got a ton of good Italian breads around here, but not much else. And probably wouldn't have that if not for the pizza dough subsidizing it.

You suckers with kids... I'm with you here. I love the sound of no kids in the house every Saturday & Sunday morning. And evenings. And all the time! I'm lucky enough to have a couple of godchildren who I'm really close to, so I get to enjoy a lot of the fun part of kids with a minimum of the expense and hassle.

Luckily, my gf, who is fine with interacting with kids, wants nothing to do with them outside of a visit here and there.

I'm sure if I went all-out that I could find a good piece of bread in America, but that's not really the point. I've eaten my share of bread here. I was in France/Germany for ten days and did not eat a piece of bad bread; the croissants I stumbled over in Paris were amazing. A coworker mentioned that she had a friend with a mild gluten intolerance who was able to eat French bread with no problem. We decided to blame Monsanto and the general agribusiness-to-supermarket industry. I don't like kids. I can't talk to, relate to, or empathize with them. They irritate me when they are around. Luckily, my gf, who is fine with interacting with kids, wants nothing to do with them outside of a visit here and there.
Due to biology, this doesn't apply at all to your own kids. Yeah, there are people who never have the switch flip (psychopaths?), but it does for most people. I found it both a relief and very weird to initially tolerate and soon appreciate things that I previously despised.

It's actually probably the FODMAPs in wheat that's causing your friend's friend's issues then, not gluten directly. And slow-fermented bread can reduce FODMAPs greatly. Industrial bread uses commercial fast-acting yeast rather than natural (wild) slower-acting yeast and is fermented very briefly. Edit: it's

When someone claims to be gluten intolerant, I ask them what gluten is and why they believe they are intolerant to it. I am usually met with silence.
