No. I've had it at 15 East and from Aquabest and loved it. It's brinier than Santa Barbara uni, less powerful than Hokkaido uni.

I had an epidural
Gearing up for one of those myself. Plus a steroid shot to the wrist so I can work a scissor without dying.

It'll come back. I lose it sometimes, too.

Very much enjoyed that movie, particularly the exciting car chase! Whoo, car chases ftw!

Copy that.

Am I missing something?
Clarksdale + Memphis/Graceland is very doable, although you did not mention Tennessee. And you 100% need to hit this place:

Bespoke winning lottery tickets would get me in the door.

In case it wasn't clear, I was not trying to compile a list of bars that made bespoke cocktails. I was trying (and now I've succeeded) to identify a particular bar by listing some of its characteristics. Because someone elsewhere had a vague memory of it.

Yep. I got confused and thought, must be ESCB, but that was a tiki place. Mais non! It became a tiki place, Painkiller. Now it's, what, East Side Vape Pens and Lottery Tickets?
-
Yes, but it’s still open.
I’m 99% sure it was ESCB.

Anyone remember a cocktail bar on the LES that would make bespoke cocktails - you'd tell them your preferred spirit, and your preferences, and they would make you something? It's been closed probably ten years already.
I feel like it was East Side Company Bar on Essex south of Grand.

Broiled perch with thyme and lemon. Curried cauliflower and potatoes.

Clarksdale looks interesting
It is. I went there about five years ago for the Sunflower River Blues and Gospel Festival. We heard a ton of great music (mostly in the bars rather than at the festival itself), met some amazing people and ate a lot of fried food. I also got to tell a story that began "So Gail and I were down at Red's, dancing to Bad Mama Jama with Ellis and the Iceman..."

Throw in a delivery fee, go full Door Dash.

I'd go if it were here and cost $150.00.

I started listening to this prepared to have to lie down after, and unexpectedly, I said to myself, Sylvia (because that's what I call myself), 60 years later, we're still here. So. That's good, I guess?

My little bite-y beacon of hope.

I'll watch a few more episodes and decide whether to continue. Medium H has trouble with the grossness, which is hilarious since the grossness in Fallout doesn't bother him at all.

Here, have a picture of my cat sleeping on his face. It's what we're feeling right now.

Is The Pitt the best show on television?
We watched the first episode last night (yes, very late to the game), and thus far, I don't see why it's so lauded. It's a hospital show, grittier than most, but not really "better" than ER or Chicago Hope or even Gray's Anatomy. Yeah, it does the real time thing, more or less, but so did 24. Does it get better?
There was also a pretty glaring bit of illogic in this episode: the mother faking gastric distress in order to get her possibly murderous teenage son some sort of help. From an ER. Where she had no plan to talk to any doctor or social worker alone - she just kind of lucked into that. And then when a social worker appears, she talks to the kid in a public space. I do not think any of this would happen!

Pretty sure this happens a lot
It does, and I "curate" my doctors to avoid it. I was sent to a pulmonologist once who literally had three patients scheduled for every 10:00 block of time. I did not return to him.
NYU is usually very efficient, NY Presbyterian less so. And that's where I'm going today, alas.

Stuffed squid over sourdough discard pasta. I thought I'd take on a project tonight.

I think we're gonna have another one - planning on making vegetarian black pudding (vegetarian haggis looks way too complicated).
