Oh wow I forgot about that place! It's REALLY good!

Apparently if you want to enjoy a cup of coffee you have to pour actual coffee into the cup.

Go. You won't believe it.

The Al Pastor at Taco Mix is off the hook.

I'm making Kathy's eggplant dish in a few days!

The new one focuses on Carnitas, from Michoacan. The OG one focuses on Mexico City style tacos. It's a lot easier to find Carnitas in NYC than Suaderos. Although, to be fair, not good Carnitas.,

NO idea.

Wait which one is small h?

Wait I wasn't REALLY there!

Mine already have. It's very nice.

I had a GREAT time!

I need to refurbish mine.

I got really pissed off about having to pick shit up at the PO until I realized Muncan was on the next block.

Ice cream from Caen!

That pasta looks great. Still don’t see why you’d drain off the fat though.

This year was sort of unprecedented for me because I somehow motivated myself to buy ACs for my new apartment before the first heatwave. Even just typing it, I can't believe I did that.

Your AC's day will come soon enough.

We really don't need to argue this again. I certainly have nothing new to add.

As I was eating some truly spectacular Flannery lamb loin chops a few nights ago, I reflected that whereas when I started eating out seriously in the '80s Peter Luger's got much better meat than I could dream of obtaining, that is absolutely no longer the case. Partially it's a matter of what's available to general consumers like me; but also, the more general demand there is for the highest quality meat, the less Luger's can obtain it to the exclusion of others. But even that doesn't explain the decline in quality of the meat Luger's gets. It's as if they decided sometime within the last couple of decades that they no longer have to care. When I pointed this out to my brother, he responded that I STILL can't replicate Luger's high-heat ovens at home -- which of course is true. But it doesn't matter if the meat isn't there.

Oops forgot that should all be in the past tense.

We can disagree on the merits, of course, but I think we can no longer disagree on the facts. More particularly, I don't think Wells is trying to "subvert" the star system. I think Wells is trying as best he can to work within a system that has been imposed on him but that he no longer believes in. I hadn't realized that this problem predated the Lockdown Interregnum.

Wow. Pre-Lockdown Star Interregnum. I wish I knew about that back during the debate here after the reinstatenent of the Star System, so I could have used it to prove I was right (as subsequent events showed).

This is the first year I can remember where the corn was great from week one.

Climate change giveth and climate change taketh away.

I'm at a loss to understand why Ingrid Haebler's pianoplaying isn't held in higher general regard. There's a difference between limp and limpid, you know.
