everyone just calls them gas stations. Package Stores are still 100% a thing even though they changed the blue laws 10 years ago in CT and we can buy beer on sunday

yeah, I've heard package store or packie to mean liquor store, but I'm having trouble with "dairy." Makes me think you mean a Wawa

ok, so it's an admittedly impressive grocery store

It looks to me like the mega- Asian or Latin groceries you see in southern California cities, but with stuff white people buy

edit: like the Vallarta in Palmdale, or the Seafood City in SD National City

The old British version of kitchen nightmares where he'd go around to old mom and pop pubs make them clean their coolers and teach them how to make basic dishes like plain brown gravy or whatever with classic good technique was pretty awesome.

the American one was really less about kitchens and more a reality show about having him disagree with some chef/owner with a weird personality. If I had only ever seen Gordon on American tv, I'd hate him.

I know an owner of a failing bar-staraunt and he avoids being there and I think just bleeds money year after year. I can't help but think of the only successful restaurant owner I ever knew, who was basically there every day and all of his children worked there at least a few times a week

I found Amy's Baking Co on Hulu, it is Ep. 1 of Season 6 of Kitchen Nightmares

I had an '92 toyota pickup 4x4 with the 22RE, and it was a really amazing machine that you could always trust to start and drive over literally any surface you would call a "road," but the Tacoma is a rust-and-plastic garbage pile and it has been from the very first model (i.e. '95 forward)

lol nobody makes reasonable little pickups anymore and we should have all known this country was going straight down the shitpipe when the 90's and 00's truck models came around

a couple of my friends from Navy aviation rates got their apprenticeship stuff started or done while in the Navy and turned it into real civilian aircraft maintainer jobs.

I told my team to never ask me for approval for PTO, just put it on my calendar when they want to take off so I don't go looking like more of a jackass than usual wondering where the hell they are. PTO is earned, PTO is meant to be spent.

Which makes me a huge hypocrite because until this week I was riding the cap for PTO (208 hours) and have no further time planned until like June or something.

tomato is very high in glutamates, which make things very tasty

edit:
shakshouka, from the cookbook Zahav:
1/2 cup olive oil
2 onion, chopped
4 bell pepper, sliced
2 tbsp grated lime
6 tbsp sweet paprika
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
salt
8 cups tomato puree
1 tbsp sugar
16 large eggs

garnish w/
serrano chile, thinly sliced
fresh cilantro chopped

In a skillet big enough for 16 eggs (lol)
Heat half the olive oil and add the onion, pepper, garlic, lime, paprika, cumin, coriander and salt. Bout 10 min, til the veg are soft but not brown.
Add tomato + sugar and simmer until reduced by 1/3, ~ 10 min. Whisk in remaining olive oil.
Lower heat, crack eggs directly onto top of hot tomato sauce, cover, and cook until whites set but yolks runny, ~5 min.
Top with chiles and cilantro, serve immediately in pan with bread

Carne asada is kind of hoity toity as street tacos go
What about lengua, cabeza, tripa, etc

I agree with the sentiment that cilantro and onion should be in place of lettuce and cheese, tho

I've got flat feet, too. Plantar fasciitis was making it pretty hard for me to walk first thing in the morning, which has gotten better over the past half a year or so with insoles. I'm pretty afraid to ever try to start running again though, because I worry it will make this issue worse and more painful

lol yeah everybody in my car on my geology field trip saw me cry when I had to mash my feet with a golf ball to get them working again.

I'll probably never run again, b/c the doctor guy I saw for my feet was like "did you start running recently? Up your distance? Running? This came from running."

I'm honestly doing much better, though. Insoles, golf ball, towel stretch, don't run ever.

Denver people:

Any recommendations on where to eat or drink in the city? We're probably spending the 4th in the city to avoid the crowd at Rocky Mountain NP.

The food culture in Colorado is the same as Nebraska or whatever empty prairie you want to think of. Denver is a big enough city that there's some mediocre Indian, Chinese, diner, etc, but every time you ask for food recommendations in Denver or Boulder, people are gonna try to send you to a brewery to eat hamburgers.
