  1. Beef fajita party pack for one, mixed torts, refried beans, extra guac instead of rice. Monday night staple from Mr. Tiempo for ~$30 easily feeds 2. At 290 location they often give you the big queso...
  2. I rented a Ricoh GRIII for our recent trip to Italy.
  3. we saw them doing some sort of kick off event in one of the Piazzas in Florence and I was utterly perplexed. This explains
  4. We have just returned from our trip. I am going to need a few days to collect my thoughts, but suffice it to say we had a wonderful time. 2 full days in Florence, long weekend in Rome (with palm sunday at Ninfa Gardens/Sicily-Rome American Cemetery/Anzio), and 4.5 days in Napoli. More to come as I curate the 1600 photos. Napoli was as incredible as I’d hoped. If you are only stopping through en route to Amalfi/Capri etc/points furthet south, you are missing out. We booked a food tour through Culinary Backstreets that I can’t speak highly enough about. I will gladly seek out their offerings in other cities, and wouldn’t balk at doing the tour in Napoli again. Pos rep to PW for some solid recs. The margherita at 50 Kalo on our pilgrim route to Virgil’s Tomb was a masterpiece of simplicity that will live in my dreams until I die. Butter chicken at Sostanza in Florence will be something I feebly attempt to recreate for the rest of my days. Lmk if any of you assholes has an olive grove I could use a steaming hot cup of octopus broth right about now.
  5. We visited Escorial and Segovia. Both were great. In Madrid, I recommend the Museo de las Americas. It's basically all of the plundered antiquities of the new world. And a very enlightening exhibit on race-mixing. And shrunken heads
  6. casa paco pa pizza off the puerta del sol chocolateria san gines for churros & chocolate all of the other nameless places with croquetas y cervezas
  7. it ain't new but I had the H-Town Chorizo Carbonara at Mastrantos for the 100th time last night and it slammed and went hard in the paint for the 100th time
  8. Brat there is an estate sale in Steiner this weekend you will want to check out if you are in striking distance. A bunnch of reloading gear and obscure caliber ammo 12506 canyon glen
  9. if you make your way back through Antigua, eat at Tartine's
  10. It was not a proper aperitif for R'Evolution
  11. MMA episode. That is all
  12. There's supposed to be a Scampia tour that postures itself as "this is not Gomorrah" that is supposed to be cool but I prefer the grittier depiction where they murder women and children in cold blood I'm thinking we'll leave one of later days open in the event the weather is nice to take a boat trip. Procida looks interesting.
  13. we're booked for ten days in March. Florence > Rome > Naples. We've got friends living in Rome, so we structured the trip to spend a few days Florence, extended weekend in Rome, and a few days in Naples. The vagaries of the calendar being what they are, we elected to head straight to Florence after landing in Rome so as not to burn an additional day travelling. Question for the initiated: how long should I anticipate it will take to clear customs at Fiumicino? We booked one of the Florence in a day tours to bang out the big hits on day 1 so we can spend the other days getting lost and eating Coliseum Underground and Pristine Sistine booked as well so we can bang out this hits and spend the rest of the time getting lost and eating Only thing we've booked in Napoli is a culinary backstreets tour the internet seems to think highly of. National Museum, Herculaneum, Statue of the Veiled Christ on the agenda. Probably won't have time to visit Secondigliano, much to my chagrine <sucks teeth>. rest of the time getting lost and eating Open to recs, mofos 'ta poste
  14. of all the times I've been to New Orleans, it wasn't until last year that I stumbled upon the Erin Rose and discovered the majesty of the frozen irish coffee
