What do you like to do? If you want an outdoors vacation, Sedona. It’s really pretty and full of trails. It’s also full of people and traffic. if you want a walkable downtown with good restaurants and art, do Santa Fe. I’ve never spent time in Phoenix so I can’t opine on that, but it’s obviously much bigger than and much more to do than the other two.
No line at TSA Pre at MSY at 345 am. More people were using Clear. Airport seemed pretty busy.

United statement

My mom was in a very nice assisted living facility for the last 1.5 years of her life. Place was beautiful but I had to stay vigilant right down to having her take pics of her meds and teaching her to know what she was taking and to question the nurses when necessary. Turnover was high and mistakes were a constant. She did like the place (she had stage IV cancer for years and her quality of life actually improved after moving to AL when my dad died). Fortunately she was able to stay there and pass under hospice care in her own room and never had to go to a nursing home.

Would the price point at Peche keep them from BG? It isn’t one star worthy service-wise.

I make cottage cheese pancakes (oats, eggs, banana, cottage cheese, vanilla extract blended up). I will also eat it mixed with stevia and cinnamon on top of toasted English muffins with peaches. I don’t love it but it’s high protein.

I have a Brother laser printer and it’s always been glitchy (WiFi drops, power button doesn’t respond). I would have to unplug it to get it to work. I just replaced the toner and updated it, and it seems to be better. So if she does buy one, make sure she keeps it updated.
The category was Three Letter Band Names. NWA was the only correct answer.

My mom’s “special occasion” spaghetti and meatballs, which meant she actually made meatballs and didn’t just brown ground beef and throw in a jar of Prego. But her meatballs were porcupine meatballs (with rice) and her sauce was canned whole tomatoes broken up by hand (my job after a thorough handwashing) with apple cider vinegar, sugar, and bay leaves.
I posted on the Admin board to let Chicken know he might want to address this.

Buffalo shrimp poboy and fries
We also went based on this thread just after Coolinary ended. We were the only people there.

I loved the service, the owners, and the space. The food was good but a bit too heavy for me. We had the oysters (too much crème fraiche but good); I had the fish (puppy drum) which was excellent but huge portion (took it home and husband who hates fish leftovers gladly ate it); husband had shrimp curry and didn’t love it. So it wasn’t a total miss but I don’t feel the rush to go back soon. I really did like the people though. Next time I wouldn’t order so much.
