It was a pretty good parody, and I know the idea is that it's a blog. However I find that without any extra voices it gets a little bit dull. Perhaps if you were to do a parody in the future add in other characters and really act out the parts with them, it would really show off your voice there. I liked the story however, and I also liked the song in the BG. I'll give it a 3.5 and a high-five.
Always appreciated eric! :D

So, I already purchased a Kraus farmhouse sink. I purchased it mainly on looks, I have never owned a stainless sink before. Now I think I want a Blanco Silgranit sink based on on the reviews of how durable and easy to take care of they are. Are stainless sinks hard to take care of? I have about one week before my cabinets are made so I need to decide if I want to change my sink soon. Help me decide! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think I am a good person to answer your question cause my last kitchen was a Silgranit sink, my current kitchen that I am renovating has a stainless steel sink, and my choice for my renovated kitchen is an apron front sink - but it will be a Kohler enameled cast iron. So I have or will be covering all bases! I loved loved LOVED my Blanco Silgranit sink. I had the Blanco Super Single with the corner drain, which was the best configuration IMHO. In 5 years, my Silgranit sink never showed dirt, never stained, never scratched, and was so easy to keep clean. In the house we just moved into there is a stainless steel sink, and I have had SS sinks in other homes. I know people get heated on this topic, but for me, after having had the ease of Silgranit, I do not like stainless with its scratches, water spots, and it seems to look greasy/dirty very quickly. Other people feel differently (Trebruchet, I expect you to chime in with an anti-Silgranit message LOL). So, you are likely asking why aren't I getting a Silgranit Super Single again since I loved it so much? It's because I found the undermount hard on my back. An apron front is easier on the back. An undermount sink is harder on the back because you have to lean slightly across four or so inches in the front. I read on this forum that this problem is made worse if you have a high arch faucet that is set toward the back of the sink, so that you have to lean even more into the sink. Blanco does not make a Silgranit apron front sink. Since I don't like stainless, and I don't want the irregularity of fireclay, I am getting a Kohler Whitehaven enameled cast iron apron front. It even has configuration of the single-bowl with the corner drain that I loved so much with my previous Silgranit sink. The Whitehaven is expensive, but it's something I use all day every day, so for me, it is worth it. It's pretty too! You may want the more contemporary look of a stainless apron front sink, and I agree, they look really sharp! The Whtehaven is definitely more traditional, so may not go with your aesthetic. Someone posted this video which I an copying and pasting below. There's a little ad at the beginning but it's short. The sink is shown with a bridge faucet, and I am not a fan of bridge faucets so will get a more contemporary single-hole faucet. |

Sahmmy (or anyone else). I went through the choices of all three of those too. We were planning the whitehaven apronfront for a while, but we ultimately decided it was too traditional for us. We thought about one of the SS apronfronts like the OP pictured, but we have very hard water and thought that would be difficult to deal with. We've got a Cinder Silgranit Super Single with the offset drain on order. I'm hoping that'll be 'the one' for us. I don't know what color yours was, but what are your thoughts on water spots on silgranit vs. stainless? |
i have the silgranite in anthracite and had a ss prior to the reno. i didn't hate the ss but i love the silgranite. no water spots or scratches so far but its only been a couple of months. i did break a glass as i had the habit of tossing things into the sink with ss so that is the only downside as of now. |
Cal_quail - in answer to your questions, my previous home's kitchen had the Silgranit sink in anthracite, which is a charcoal-y black. Loved the color! It looked glamorous, and showed NOTH-ING. The anthracite color I think seems more a contemporary look, and my previous kitchen was a more contemporary style. But having said that, I've seen a couple kitchens on the Gardenweb with very traditional appearance, with soapstone counters and the anthracite sink that look beautiful and traditional. So the anthracite can go either way. As to water spots, my current stainless sink shows them in one second of the water drying. Our water here is just a bit hard, not enough to need a water softener, just slightly hard. The water spots are annoying, though I guess there's worse things in life! But the Silgranit never showed a water spot, or a wine or coffee stain either. I am a little nervous that the Whitehaven will show coffee and wine stains, but everything in kitchen choices is a compromise on something. |

Silgranite super single in anthracite for about 18 months now, after a Kohler double bowl white cast iron for 27 years. The Kohler was fine, no problems but was ready for a change, and what a change! Absolutely NOTHING shows in this sink! ....I'm not sure I know when it's dirty ;) |

We got the Silgranit 1 3/4 bowl in Cinder. So far, we've been very pleased - it's been in for a few months now. Easy to clean, no issues with water marks, no scratches. Doesn't really show up as "dirty", so I just have to remember to clean it. ;-) I don't usually stand at the sink for very long - most of my dishes go in the DW, and while I'm short (5'3"), I haven't really noticed an issue with an undermount sink. |
- Posted by scpalmetto (My Page) on Sun, Jun 22, 14 at 14:44
My KD advised me against buying a ss farmhouse sink like the OP pictured because buttons and buckles rubbing against it while you wash dishes, etc. would scratch it. Personally, I have never had an issue reaching into or across a regular undermount sink. |
- Posted by illinigirl (My Page) on Sun, Jun 22, 14 at 14:59
We went with Silgranit because I wanted a sink that didn't scratch. One GW-er (you know you you are A) also told me that water that hits the Silgranit isn't as loud as water that hits SS. SS is not exactly difficult to maintain, however it does scratch/patina over time. I found that frustrating that i could not keep it looking new. Reading over and over on GW that their Silgranit sinks look new after years is what sold me. |
I've had cast iron and stainless. No problem with either. I'll probably end up with Silgranit this time for one reason: I need a faucet deck and you can knock out the holes you want with the Silgranit. I don't want to have to fill in holes on a new sink. (I'm undermounting and tiling it in, so I want a deck.) |
- Posted by tomatofreak (My Page) on Sun, Jun 22, 14 at 22:58
I detest stainless sinks; they look great up until the first time you run water in them. scpalmetto makes a good point about the apron front; it will probably get scratched up in no time. My all-time favorite is Kohler cast iron, but I'm really enamored of the Silgranit Blanco sink now. Hope to find one for my current kitchen reno. |
- Posted by Trebruchet (email@example.com) on Mon, Jun 23, 14 at 11:05
Hmmm. Well I have had my blanco cinder sink for about a month (new build) after previously only having stainless. I would be worried about scratching a SS apron sink front too so I see why you are concerned (although it does look sharp). What I enjoy about it: It doesn't scratch as far as I can tell. It is quiet (Hello "I"). I wasn't necessarily expecting that but it is. It's not a hollow or 'tinny' sound, it's solid. Unexpected joyful discovery there as that always drove me nuts. It's not shiny. I kind of like matte though so that is a personal thing. I haven't found anything that I'd say is a 'hmm, oh well it's alright' type of thing. I DID have to fight for it as dh thought it was an unnecessary expense (he is of the mind a sink is a sink is a sink) but I am very glad I did! Good luck! |
Treb, do report back on the Silgranit. It seems sort of rough and weird for a sink. I have a sample--haven't tried scratching it yet and honestly I don't think a scratch would bother me if it's the same color. (Blanco sends free sink samples fast.) That said, the scratched up stainless steel sink had a lovely patina and I would be happy with it. I've had brushed SS counters with integrated sinks and big scratches can just be blended in pretty well with a scotchbrite pad. I wouldn't bother with a sink, but would occasionally spruce up the counters. The KD dissing apron fronts clearly has no experience with them. Why would an apron front sink take more abuse from people brushing against it than cabinet material? Whether it's SS, fireclay, or cast iron, it'll be a more scratch-resistant material than stained or painted wood. You should see how the front of my wall mount (and therefore apron-front-ish) porcelain utility/powder room sink looks. Unlike the cabinetry under the sinks in my 60+ year old house, it looks perfect, and it's seen the hardest use. |

I have a Swanstone granite sink in Nero, their name for black and like it a lot . |
Thanks for everyone's input ! Although it didn't make my decision any easier. :) @illinigirl I would of never thought about the water noise, that is a major pro for the Silgranit. @trebruchet I didn't realize how you could easily repair the scratches on a ss. If I didn't already buy the kraus ss apron, I would probably get the Silgranit. Hopefully the water spots dont drive me nuts!! |

9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth? | 9 What does the worker gain from his toil? |
10 I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith. | 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. |
11 He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end. | 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. |
12 I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good so long as they live. | 12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. |
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God. | 13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil--this is the gift of God. |
14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it; and God hath done it, that men should fear before him. | 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him. |
15 That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away. | 15 Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account. |
16 And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there. | 16 And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment--wickedness was there, in the place of justice--wickedness was there. |
17 I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. | 17 I thought in my heart, "God will bring to judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time for every deed." |
18 I said in my heart, [It is] because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are [but as] beasts. | 18 I also thought, "As for men, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. |
19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; and man hath no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity. | 19 Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. |
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. | 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. |
21 Who knoweth the spirit of man, whether it goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goeth downward to the earth? | 21 Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?" |
22 Wherefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him [back] to see what shall be after him? | 22 So I saw that there is nothing better for a man than to enjoy his work, because that is his lot. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him? |

I have a friend who has been given an ultimatum at work regarding their company policy. A new company policy (Private employer) states that the employer may seach you or your vehicle at any time without cause and without reason.
Weapons are prohibited and if found would result in termination. My friend got a CCW and doesn't plan to carry the gun inside. But inspection of vehicles would keep them from having protection to/from work. (Which is why they got their CCW in the first place.)
This is at a college but KY law does NOT forbid it. In fact, it seems to say that an employer cannot keep an employee from carrying in their PERSONAL vehicle. (See at bottom of page if interested.)
I would like to know how many of you CAN carry IN YOUR CAR as far as your company policy is concerned. (I am not concerned with carry inside your building or removing your weapon from the vehicle).
It is good to see someone standing up for our rights though it appears it will cost them their job.
It is sad that our freedom is disappearing.
A private but not a public employer may prohibit employees or other persons holding a concealed deadly weapons license from carrying concealed deadly weapons, or ammunition, or both in vehicles owned by the employer, but may not prohibit employees or other persons holding a concealed deadly weapons license from carrying concealed deadly weapons, or ammunition, or both in vehicles owned by the employee, except that the Justice Cabinet may prohibit an employee from carrying any weapons, or ammunition, or
both other than the weapons, or ammunition, or both issued or authorized to be used by the employee of the cabinet, in a vehicle while transporting persons under the employee's supervision or jurisdiction.

Breakfast Topic: Your first step toward Azeroth {WoW}
May 19th 2008 9:05AM My first step to WoW was mume. A full PvP, full RP full loot/theft Tolkien Mud. It is still much more intense and rich than Wow, even though text based. Sadly though without a fulltime commitment it is very hard to level and map.
About the Bloggers: Robin Torres {WoW}
Mar 26th 2008 12:38PM Robin, my wife loves knitting but hates me playing Warcraft. Any advice on how to pacify a warcraft widow?
Breakfast Topic: Should there be honor in PvP? {WoW}
Mar 25th 2008 9:23AM Q. What is best in life
A. To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
All the World's a Stage: Finding the right realm {WoW}
Mar 24th 2008 9:20AM I play on Ravenholdt horde side, and the RP is bad, but its still better than I have seen anywhere else. Frankly I do not see how you can honestlty claim to RP on a non RP PVP server, since when anyone from the Alliance sees an undead, or vice versa, their only reaction should be to kill on sight. Perhaps on RP servers Blizz could add a faction war buff to all players, when they see a player from another faction negative things start happening until they kill the other player or they disappear.
The Lunar Festival's greatest prize: Rep! {WoW}
Feb 11th 2008 10:09AM I play on an RPPVP server and went to the Lunar festival with my undead caster. Nothing better than seeking happy little lowlevels walking around flagged, thinking they were safe with all those guards and dropping fireballs on them from the lake!

I wouldn't mind pdf's of the pregenerated characters much in the same way as the two extra characters. I've already ran this box with two groups of people and more want to play, so having disposable sheets is a lot cleaner than using scrap paper to not mess up the actual handouts.
Kinkos is your friend… or Staples or any Office printing store. You can make copies or scan them to PDF.
Except these won't be as clean as an original print master such as the two extra characters. More of a consistency issue. Also, while I don't have them in hand, it's not FFG's wishes to allow you to photocopy them (I could be wrong, but I don't remember seeing that anywhere on the booklets) And like others have said there's no real reason why they can't upload them.

text: Stormwater Management Buncombe County's Stormwater Management program is the result of a new ordinance adopted on September 27, 2006. "Chapter 26 Environment, Article VII: Stormwater Management" was adopted to establish minimum requirements for the control of adverse impacts due to stormwater runoff associated with new development in the county. Proper management of stormwater runoff will protect property, lessen stream channel erosion, prevent increased flooding and provide additional protection of floodplains, wetlands and water resources, riparian and aquatic ecosystems. The ordinance requires permits be issued for residential development activity disturbing one acre or more. Commercial activity requires permits for activities that are on tracts one acre or larger. The ordinance requires developers to install permanent measures to control the rate of runoff to that which existed prior to development for the 1 Year 24 Hour storm events. What's Happening with Stormwater A new permitting and data management system is helping to document and archive stormwater permit submittals. The new program ensures all submittals are accounted for and processed in a timely manner. A goal of the program is to archive more data electronically thereby reducing the amount of paper needed for the submittal. This also reduces the amount of physical file storage needed. Please refer to the revised Stormwater Management Review Plan Checklist for information on format and number of copies needed in a submittal. The checklist may be found in the Forms section of this website. If you have additional comments or questions contact the stormwater administrator.Administrative Process Administrative Process For Article VII. "Stormwater Management", Chapter 26 "Environment" of the Buncombe County Code of Ordinances. (Download PDF) Frequently Asked Questions When was the ordinance adopted? September 27, 2006 What if I have a problem with my neighbor's stormwater? Contact the stormwater administrator or technician to discuss your individual situation. Do I need a permit for a single family home I am building? If your lot or tract is a lot of record as of September 27, 2006 and the percentage of hard surfaces (ie..roof, driveway, sidewalk, outbuildings, etc..) compared to total lot size is 15% or less your construction does not require a stormwater permit. How can I determine I have a vested right? If your preliminary development plan was approved by the Buncombe County Planning Board prior to September 27, 2006 or you have a Land Disturbing Permit from the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control office you may have a vested right. Can I develop in phases less than one acre and avoid the permitting requirements? If the overall scope of your development will eventually exceed one acre you must be permitted prior to starting construction. Are the stormwater plans required to be done by a professional? Yes, the plan must be sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer or Landscape Architect competent in stormwater hydrology and hydraulics. Does the new ordinance have bonding requirements? Yes, a performance surety bond is required to ensure the adequate construction of the proposed stormwater management system. How much is the performance surety bond? The performance surety bond is in the amount of 125% of the anticipated cost of materials and installation of the stormwater management system. Once the developer has completed the development, who is responsible for the stormwater management system? Typically the homeowners association will have binding responsibility for the annual care, inspection and maintenance of the stormwater system. When does the stormwater permit expire? If substantial progress has not been made on the site within six (6) months after issuance of the permit the permit becomes void. What is constitutes Land Disturbance? Any use of, or operations on, the land by any person in residential, industrial, educational, institutional, or commercial development, highway and road construction and maintenance that results in a change in the natural cover or topography and that may cause or contribute to sedimentation.)

Nancy Walton Laurie
Nancy Walton Laurie | |
Born | Nancy Walton May 15, 1951 [1] |
Residence | Henderson, Nevada[2] |
Citizenship | United States |
Education | University of Memphis[2] |
Known for | Walton family fortune |
Net worth | US$ 4.1 billion (est.) (March 2014)[3] |
Spouse(s) | Bill Laurie |
Children | Elizabeth Paige Laurie |
Parents | James "Bud" Walton, Audrey Walton |
Nancy Walton Laurie (born May 15, 1951)[4] is an American heiress. She is the younger daughter of Bud Walton, the brother and business partner of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton. At Bud's death, she and her sister Ann Walton Kroenke inherited a stake in Wal-Mart now worth over USD$9 billion.
She married Bill Laurie, after a courtship that occurred when they both attended the University of Memphis (then known as Memphis State University).[5] Bill Laurie was the starting guard on the Memphis State basketball team that played in the 1973 NCAA Championship game.[6]
She is president and founder of a New York City dance company called the Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet.[7] She is the owner of the Columbia Performing Arts Centre, a dance studio located in Columbia, Missouri.
She and her husband Bill, major contributors to the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri despite neither having attended the school, were caught up in a scandal surrounding the naming of the school's new basketball arena in 2004. They had made a $25 million naming rights gift that went to the funding of the $75 million arena, and named the facility Paige Sports Arena after their sports holding company, Paige Sports Entertainment. The company was named after their daughter, Elizabeth Paige Laurie, who also did not attend the university. Bill's brother Barry was a former Missouri basketball player, and Barry's son, Spencer Laurie, was a player on the team at the time. Nancy's nephew, Josh Kroenke, was also a former Missouri basketball player. After their daughter Paige graduated from the University of Southern California in 2004, a former roommate charged that she had been paid $20,000 over four years to do Paige's homework for her. Once the charges were aired on the ABC news program 20/20, the elder Lauries relinquished naming rights of the facility, which is now known as Mizzou Arena. In June 2005, the college roommate appeared on the Ion Television show Lie Detector.[8] In September 2005, Paige voluntarily surrendered her degree and returned her diploma to USC.
Nancy and Bill Laurie formerly owned the St. Louis Blues hockey team until 2005, when they sold the team to Dave Checketts.
In 2007 Nancy Laurie received the delivery of her 61.20 meter classically styled Feadship named Secret.
In September 2007, Nancy Laurie purchased a 17,878-square-foot (1,660.9 m2) residence in the MacDonald Highlands area of Henderson, Nevada for $17.5 million.[9]

As many of the recent projects are now using maven as their build tool ,test-cases are also required to integrate itself to the existing build. In this blog I will mention about how to generate a TestNG-xslt report for your TestNG test-case execution using Maven.
Following is the "pom.xml" file for executing TestNG test-cases and to generate a "TestNG-xslt" report for the same:
mvn clean test site org.reportyng:reporty-ng:1.2:reportyng
Note: In case the "test" task of mvn fails the report task of xslt will not be executed. You can apply any of the strategies mentioned in the following url to achieve the same as part of a single execution:
Else 2 different commands have be run for test execution and report generation separately.
To know more about the TestNG-xslt configuration parameters please refer to my earlier blog post:

I picked this up based on the positive reviews on mu and couldn't wait to try it. Wow. Thanks you guys, this product is amazing!!! I have NC20/25 skin and this highlighter works well with my yellow undertones. I am really impressed with it because it highlights my skin as good better than my BB rose shimmer brick! I like to pair this with my orange and peach toned blushes. I am impressed with this as well as with W&W eye shadow palettes, stellar products for fantastic low prices!

This product is so cute and the colors are pretty nice. I actually use it for more of a blush and cheekbone sculpting powder and not for illuminating or highlighting. It was very cheap and it works for every day.

I guess it is ok but it is a little bit to shimmery for my taste.Not buying again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product works wonders. I could never find a highlighter that works for me, because I have acne scars, so too much shimmer makes me look like the moon with even more craters. However, Mega Glo in Catwalk pink works terrific. It's shimmer with a small amount of sparkle that looks natural and dewy without making your face look greasy or shiny. It lasts long. It has a very golden sand color that has some shimmer and sparkles, a matte dark plummy wine color, a light frosty pink color, and a dark copper color with shimmer and sparkles. I use it by running my blush over the two center colors (the plummy wine and light frosty pink) and swirl them onto my cheeks, and then lightly sweep both golden colors and dust them over my upper forhead, cheeks and jaw line (in the "3" motion like you would a bronzer). Sometimes I just swirl them all together though, if I'm lazy or just want more bronze shimmer. This is a very versatile little bundle, because it can be used as a blush, bronzer and highligher all in one, but also as an eyeshadow. I usually use the light golden sand color on my lids and the bronze copper in my crease. The packaging isn't the greatest but it's durable (I've dropped it on cement and the product did not break and neither did the packaging.) Overall, this is a gem worth hunting for. I would recommend this more for light skin tones, or lightly tanned tones at darkest. Works for cool or warm tones. Will be buying again, however, I prefer Strike A Pose Rose the best. See my review for it. :)

This product gives my face a nice glow. It's also dirt cheap! I would definitely buy it again and again!
LOVE this product! For it's cheap price, I really wasn't expecting much, but Wet 'N' Wild has done an amazing job with this product. I apply all four shades to a powder brush and gently put it all over my face (mostly on my cheeks, though). It has done wonders. I adore the fresh, dewy look it leaves.
I haven't used it as e/s yet, but I might follow through and do that as well.
Recommended for any girl who wants to look fresh and dewy. Would buy it again...if I ever run out because the amount seems very generous. :)
I got this on sale, so it was very cheap. I use this powder to highlight my face, but i use only two strips of it.
These are great for highlighting. I use it when I have a more dewy look already going on with my face. It gives a nice glow without being too bold. I don't use these as eyeshadows because they don't seem very pigmented, but I definitely like them as a highlighter.

This blush offers a very pretty golden pink glow when all the colors are swirled together. I like to use it alone for a sort of angelic glow, or over another blush to give it more shimmer. The price is nice, and you get SO MUCH in the pan it will last forever.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'll buy this again.....if it ever runs out.
I've discovered that the two light stripes in this pallette make an EXCELLENT base eyeshadow. It is flat out gorgeous....it has sheen but not glitter and is so smooth. I really suggest trying this out on the eyes.

There is a story that connects the Lord's Prayer with the six-petaled rose at the center of an eleven-circuit labyrinth, such as the famous one found at Chartres Cathedral. Each of the petals corresponds to part of the Lord's Prayer, with the following themes:
Faith Our Creator, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Surrender Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
Service on earth as it is in heaven.
Abundance Give us this day our daily bread
Forgiveness And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
Strength Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen
Try this prayer the next time you get to walk a labyrinth!
Our Father who dwells within – All in all,
In you I live and move and have my being.
L: Our Father
R: Sounds a bit sexiest to me, what about our Mother?
L: Our Father who art in heaven
R: Well we could do with him down here, right enough, rather than up there
Dear One, closer to us than our own hearts, farther from us than the most distant star, you are beyond naming.

"Live" Dungeness crabs--can you taste the difference? I'm on a roll and feelin useful! Those Dungeness crabs you had up in the bay area are the best you'll ever have. I used to live up there and would get em off the boats in HMB after a good morning of surfing. The ones from 99 simply do not compare, its almost like the meat/muscles/whatever inside those shells shrink up and lose flavor. Is it better than precooked or frozen, yes, but better than fresh from the dock? not a chance. If you're in a pinch, go for it. My suggestion is to maybe look for some other local shellfish, spiny lobster maybe? Spot Prawns from LJ perhaps? If you ever go to Catalina Offshore they might be able to guide you to some fresh dungeness or some other alternative. Doesnt hurt to ask those guys. OK, dont know how useful I was but there it is. |
It was meant as more of a joke. I dont post much but read the SD board a lot. To be serious, I grew up in los angeles, and still go every now and then. You cant throw a stick in LA with out hitting a liquor store or corner market that sells Cactus Cooler. I see it everywhere in SGV and areas around downtown, pasadena, highland park, echo park, silverlake, ELA...etc. BTW, I'm not too cool for cactus cooler, I'm enjoying |
Somebody please delete this thread. and BTW, does anyone know where I can find Coke or Pepsi, or fanta? |
Carnitas Snack Shack Wait Time Sunday at noon I've never not had bad flies buzzing around me there. |
SD Gets Nod for What It Does Best in CA Rating Those burritos in the mission are disgusting. I don't know why people love em so much. Just because something the size of a small child cost 3 bucks doesnt mean its good. |
Birthday Dinner for 8 people in Honolulu/Waikiki Thanks for all the replies everyone, I actually decided on girogiro. Hopefully all will go well. |
Birthday Dinner for 8 people in Honolulu/Waikiki Have you tried Nanzan girogiro? It popped up while searching as another place for potential group dining. |
Birthday Dinner for 8 people in Honolulu/Waikiki Hi All, I'm looking for dinner recommendations in Waikiki/Honolulu for my Wifes birthday. There wont be any kids and in total it will be around 8 people. I'd like something on the nicer side of casual, somewhere with great cocktails/decent wine and preferably locally sourced food. A hotel restaurant would be fine as well. Unfortunately I've not been back to Honolulu in quite some time so I've no idea whats good and whats not. As for price, not too sure, maybe 100 per person max? What would be kinda cool is a private-ish space/room.Thanks so much in advance!!! KC |
I would also say BLAH for food and beer. However, its been a while since i've been. The last time i was there it was just my wife and I, we had half a pizza left and full beers. One of the workers there continuously asked us if we were going to be much longer because there was a line for food & beer. And at BLAH there is always a line for food & beer. We left and i wont be returning. If you can deal with that, the food and beer is good. I just dont like being rushed out. Hamilton;s and monkey paw have food as well. |
Romesco Baja Med Now Open for Lunch How is Romesco's these days? Last time i went about 1.5 years ago it was kinda ho-hum. Seemed the menu had changed to more "italian" than mex. |
Callebaut - Guittard - Sharfen Berger Chocolate If you want good stuff I see El Rey at Whole Foods every now and then |
I've been to Alchemy quite a few times being that its local to me. I've found it to be really inconsistent. Sometimes the food is great, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and other times its devoid of all flavor and needs salt. Honestly, I think the cooks/chefs smoke, thats just a guess, i dont know, but the level of inconsistency points to people who like to wreck their taste buds. |
Cool, I'm gonna go with GModern. The menu at 1500 Ocean looks decent but nothing on the menu really stands out. |
I'm leaning towards George's Modern. I've been to George's but only the terrace. Is there a different menu for the CA Modern space? Veladora sounds really interesting as well but i dont want to think of the drive back downtown from out there after having some wine. |
Hi All, Given those three choices which would you pick for a nice Birthday dinner for your spouse? Or is there another spot I'm missing? We've been to addison and market but never 1540 and since mccabe is no longer there i'm wondering if its even worth considering. Thanks! |
Linkery and Hubcap Closing. . .Goodbye Jay. . .*sniff**sniff* LOL, didnt mean to come off too harsh. I do wish them good luck as well. I think maybe an ETIE would work up there since the Mexican food situation is really really bad in the city. |
Linkery and Hubcap Closing. . .Goodbye Jay. . .*sniff**sniff* We gave this place a couple shots and honestly it just never wowed me. The concept was great but the food always seemed to lack flavor. Having lived in the bay area for many many years, they will have to seriously step up their game in order to be able to compete. If they simply repeat what they did here, up there, they dont stand a chance. |
Cheesemaking in Basque-country Wow, I just came across this, I dont know if you're still interested but I do have some experience with this. About two years ago I was there and wanted to meet and talk to cheesemakers there. I really should've done more research prior to going but ending up in san sebastian was a bit last minute. It helps if you speak Spanish and really really helps if you speak Basque. If its just English you may not have much luck. But anyways, I used this list: http://www.quesoidiazabal.com/index.p... I just started calling everyone on that list and asking if I could visit their operation. Most of these are farmstead/small operations and its super interesting. I ended up working for a day with one of them and the experience was awesome and invaluable. I dont know if there is something organized however google may have something for you. Good luck sorry for posting so late. |
OK, so based on the reviews/reports that have popped up recently on Vagabond, my Wife and I decided to give it another shot. We also hadnt been in years and since its close, it was friday evening and didnt want to go far we decided to go. Arrived, the door guy/owner/I dont know who he is but maybe he's the owner/person greeted us and let us know he'd get a table ready. he replaced the butcher paper and thats it. no place settings, no small plates,...nothing.they were way short staffed and busy. No busser, just two struggling waiters and a very chatty and somewhat clueless greeter. eventually had to ask the greeter/owner/whatever for settings, he grabbed the plates from table next to us and gave us those, then forgot the silverware. Drinks - Old fashioned that sat too long, they dumped more ice in and were successful in totally watering down my drink. Wine,... decent enough, nothing great. Food - actually quite good, shrimp and grits which were tasty, brussell sprouts and broccoli which was also quite good and coq au vin, less winey than I remember it being the last time there. Food, again, was good. Not spectaculer, not superb, not sublime, it was "good". Service - terrible. short staffed, other guests could not get anyone to help them, inattentive manager. I wont be going back. Service there is just needlessly bad. The waiters seem to do the best they can but when its busy a skeleton crew doesnt help. I honestly dont get the hype. |
Good glass of wine in North Park Splash is closest to the farmers market so I guess I'd suggest that. I dont know if they still have those weird machines but the place is decent enough. Mosaic would be a bit of a hike. I wouldnt recommend calabria as their wine will most likely only be about 10 degrees cooler than their coffee. Now that I think about it a bit more. I dont think many Italian restaurants believe in wine fridges. |
Well this is sad news: El Take It Easy to shutter on April 22 Burgers? Hmmmm, never had that before. Someone mentioned Romesco's having and ID crisis and I have to agree. Last time I went (about a year ago) they ditched most anything they had before that was Mexican and pretty much went all Italian. It was pretty ho-hum. I never went to ETIEZ but the two times i've been to Linkery I was not impressed and just never bothered to give it a 3rd try. |
Recommendations for Mexican/South American near Manchester Hyatt I have to agree, El Salvadoreno is quite good. Definitely not fancy, but it is comfortable. Not much else in the way of decent Mexican/LatAm/South American. I'd love for a good Peruvian place down here. |
Tacos El Gordo (National City) [Split from LA carne asada thread] I prefer the asada tacos in LA, less gristle, smaller pieces, better flavor. I've found most of the asada tacos here to be way too fatty, really greasy, and always taste like a charred grill. The meat is rarely cooked/grilled when ordered, even at the "good" places. Although, there's a place mentioned in a recent thread today that looks promising. |
This really does depend on where you're at. Cafe Moto is pretty good their coffee is also whats used at Influx and a few other places. I've heard Santos is decent, Calabria does quality coffee as well. All these places are closer to downtown... sorta. |
Yu Me Ya Sake House (Hillcrest) Has anyone been here lately? Going off reviews from yelp it seems its improved but yelp isnt really a trustworthy source. K |
Anyone know what's going in the South Park El Camino space? Yah, this is kind of a let down.El Camino wasnt super great but it wasnt all that bad either. I dont have high hopes for mexican/sushi either, it sounds like a bad trend, kinda gimmicky. Hopefully I'm wrong but i'm guessin it'll go away as quickly as it shows up. Anyone know why El Camino closed up the S. Park location? It didnt seem like it was doing bad and the Little Italy space is still open. |
As far as i know there is nothing in Mission Beach. In downtown there is Extraordinary Desserts (also Bankers Hill). There's a place in North Park called Heaven Sent which I only went to once and wasnt impressed with. There's a couple chocolate places like chi and eclipse. Bread & Cie have some pastries but its mainly a bakery. Really, there is no proper Patisserie here in San Diego, but I have had some good deserts at Market and also Farmhouse so perhaps restaurants might be an option. I dont think I've been much help but maybe some others have suggestions. ----- |
Ha! Good question huh!? firstname.lastname@example.com sorry about leaving that off. The problem out here is space, well, I'm not sure where you are located but I live right by downtown so all of us with birds are limited in space KC |
You might want to try some farmers markets around town and ask them. Everyone I know who has backyard chickens feeds them something aside from letting them roam the yard. I let my birds out most of the time but still feed them organic chicken feed. There is a lady out in poway that has goats as well, she may do strictly free range on her property but i'm not sure. Email me if you're interested. KC |
Sushi Deli 1- Avoid this place!! Same here, I dont know what the appeal is. I went to the one Downtown since its closer to me and my Wife and I were pretty much disgusted. I figure its there for tourists. Let them have it. |
