Drusas

Thanks again! Glad you had such a good experience and I’m looking forward to going there myself.

I always want to pet the dogs. Even when I think that I don’t, I notice that I am already petting the dogs.

Thank you for sharing. The language barrier is mostly the thing that has held me back. I know some vocabulary related to food, but that’s about it.

How well can one get by as a tourist without speaking Vietnamese? Vietnam has been around the top of my list for places to visit for ages.

Interesting. My experience was the opposite; I couldn’t practice German at all because everybody would switch to English.

Capitalization matters.

Definitely not relatable for all of us.

I’ve always liked the number nine because it feels round. Not the shape, mind you. The concept of nine.

That’s wild. I think I’ve seen it three times now and I’ve definitely missed stuff. Thanks for sharing. I wish we had a bigger horror community here on the fediverse.

I’ll always remember the first time I went to Chipotle. I guess it must have still been a regional thing at the time because I had never heard of it or been to one, so I wasn’t familiar with how it worked. Someone I had just started dating brought me there.

There was a small menu on the wall in the area where you wait in line. It listed things like chicken burrito, bean burrito, etc, along with ingredients for each of those. So I thought, “Alright. Bean burrito sounds good.”

It’s my turn to order. I asked for the bean burrito. They stare at me and I stare at them.

“No, but what do you want on it?”

-“All the things for the bean burrito.”

“I need to know what you want on it.”

-“What? Just the regular. It’s on the sign there.”

I have returned to Chipotle only once because that same person I was dating at the time wanted to go. I didn’t want to deal with the burrito process, so I just ordered rice.

They didn’t specify that there was cilantro in the rice back then. I’ve got that cilantro equals soap gene.

I have never returned to a Chipotle.

Thank you for reading my mundane story.

lol, cheap

There are some places where no restaurants are cheap. The taco carts are cheap. But if you want to sit down… Uh uh.

I am not sure I agree, but I will watch it again.

Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now

Well, both, but more the mother’s for that specific incident.

To be fair…that was their mother’s fault.

I’d just like to point out that there is no “taste of fish”. Different species can taste very different from one another.

Cod is the most popular among people who otherwise don’t eat much fish because it is versatile and light on flavor. Salmon is one of the more flavorful fish, so I’m not sure what was up with the salmon you had. Mackerel is very flavorful (the oily fishes in general are), which you may or may not like. Sole or flounder are also popular among the lighter flavored fish, and easy to cook. You might like them battered and fried. You should try fresh tuna as well.

I also am a big fan of sole a la meunier (with butter, parsley, lemon, and capers). I’d also recommend trying teriyaki salmon. I like to make fish chowder with cod. Mackerel I tend to make shioyaki style (while baked with a bunch of salt, served with lemon or ponzu).

😥

I pay, think, $115 per month for the privilege of being my PCP’s patient. To be fair, though, there are no co-pays, she is very, very good, and I need very frequent access to my PCP due to multiple chronic health problems. So it saves me money. Still. You have to subscribe to a good doctor if you want them to be available for you.

It’s called concierge care, for anyone interested.

Your girlfriend’s daughter is drunk.

Just spend more time here. The transition isn’t as hard as you would think.

Out here in Seattle, if you give your two weeks notice as a tech employee to Amazon, and you tell them that you’re going to Oracle, they’ll just send you home that day. Probably not every team/manager, but it’s a thing.
