    I'm not a homemade tortilla guy but I'm on a big health kick and Siete Almond Flour tortillas are pretty close to the real thing and lower calories. They are kind of expensive in Sprouts or whole foods but a 20 pack at Costco is a lot more reasonable. 

     

     

    Do they make them with lard?

    I've posed this question to car friends of mine - Can anyone show me a bad color for a 911? I don't know if their marketing altered my brain as a child, but I've literally seen 911's in baby shit brown, and thought, "That's a great looking car." Something about the proportions of the car just make it beautiful in every and any color.

    And I'd also love to see a Singer build thread.

    Saw one a few weeks ago that started purple at the bottom and faded to pink up top.  No pics because traffic was crazy and I was by myself.  I assume it was wrapped.  It was ugly. That is the end of the list of ugly 911s.    Next door neighbor growing up had a late 70’s/early 80’s 911 in some shade of brown and it looked good.

  3. Would just like to add that an inside look at the Singer experience would be well received.  If I ever win the lottery, my first phone call would be to them to put down a deposit.  I have this pic saved on my phone.  This is basically what I would do.

    Gotta love it

     

    I would do my best to get that agent fired if they let some mouth breathing mick jump me in boarding priority because they were wearing a Celtics jersey.

    I bet you’re one of those guys that gives a cop a hard time for telling you your taillight is out. Far more cops hand out warnings over tickets, ignore minor amounts of weed, and do the right thing. Unless maybe in dealing with douchenozzles like you.

    They lose whatever good cop status they have when they keep their mouth shut when one of their coworkers crosses the line. Until the cops aggressively rid themselves of their bad apples, they are to be treated with contempt and suspicion.

    can I say how much I hate the stupid straddle the line thing?  on a 5-6 footer Bradley just did it like 3 different times(2 differentlocations along the line) .  I'd prefer they make it illegal to straddle in front of your ball.

    If someone walked in front of their ball that close to their line they would throw a hissy fit.

    It was only my first long weekend in Charleston, but I didn't think the food scene there was more diverse than New Orleans.  Look at NOLA places like Saffron and Shaya, and other places with Asian and other Eastern influence.  It's not necessarily dominated by cajun and creole like it was 20 years ago.

    I'm not sure that the meals we had at some of the nicer restaurants were more expensive than NOLA fine dining.  But I think you have a point on hotels.  When I was looking to book spots in Charleston, it felt like hotels in the 4-star range were a lot more than the 4-star grade in NOLA.  That might be a function of supply. 

    Generally true.  Although, we stayed in a neighborhood in Charleston called the French Quarter, and up until a short while ago, I never knew Charleston had a French Quarter.  It definitely has less of a French feel than New Orleans.

    And other than general southern fare, the food in Charleston seemed to have less ethnic influence than New Orleans.

    A bunch of Hugenots ended up in Charleston.

    Went to Fortunate Son in downtown Garland a few weeks ago. Owned by the same folks as Goodfriends. It’s New Haven, CT style pizza. Didn’t know that was a thing. But it was great. Cool spot. Great beer selection like Goodfriends. Big space with a big patio. Great for families. We’ll definitely go back.

    Bbq place is pretty good as well for the one time per year I find myself in that part of town around lunch.

    Mine has memorized her number. Which means that even though she couldn’t produce the actual card even if given an hour to look for it if her life depended on it, no purchasing is slowed down at all.

    Could be worse.  Wait until your kids memorize the number.  Nothing like having mom and dad’s credit limit with zero impulse control.  Wife had a student who plowed through $10k on eBay auctions for vintage video games before the parents noticed.  He was 6 at the time.
