Seafood is the same at every “unique” restaurant. Bread is tasteless.

Don’t go! The Italians can’t run shite right. All of the “quaint” sidewalk restaurants have the same menus and stacks of cold bland sandwiches that are either dry as a week old donut or slathered in funky condiments. It’s like a city-wide chain restaurant with different names for each location.
If you’re lucky, you might find a good slice of pizza.
Bathrooms are scarce and when you find one, it makes the old Fleur de Lis in Baton Rouge seem like a day spa.
Souvenir shops run by Palestinian refugees.
I could go on, but I hope you get the message.
Far enough out to give you time come to your senses and cancel the plans while they’re still refundable.

Never been to Africa. Italy sucks balls. Anyone who says it’s great is a pathetic pretentious prick.

Venice is terrible for limited mobility, nothing but cobblestones, stairs and bridges.
Florence doesn’t have the stairs and bridges, but the crowds and vehicle traffic squeezes into each other make it worse than Venice.
I was there yesterday and the crew running fiber in front of Buffalo Wild Wings knocked the traffic light off line. I’m sure they are the ones who took out the gas line today.

I don't understand why a show as great as this can't just focus on the hospital stuff and tone down the virtue/woke nonsense?


It’s not that great without the woke crap, but it’s at least different. But the ever-expanding wokeness now makes it unwatchable. Early roots of wokeness kept expanding to ruin M.A.S.H.’s comedy. All these year’s later, it’s so extreme that it ruins drama too.

Might make it by this Saturday. If not, looking forward to checking out the new location.
A neighbor did something similar that looked great for a while. But now all of the boards are warped and it looks pretty bad. I don't think he used the 5/4 deck boards as descried on the Slipfence website.

Even with 5/4 boards, I don't know if you can find wood of high enough quality for these fences to maintain their designed appearance. And if you can find that wood, the price might be prohibitive. Just my observation.
He watched too much of the Superman hype pre-game.

That is some rigorous routine. I’m glad you’re dedicated to the the process!
We had the rosemary feta tonight along with a baked fish dinner and it was great. I don’t always like a lot of rosemary in recipes, but it’s very, very good in this bread. Looking forward to pairing it with some other dishes.

We were glad to finally get by there on Saturday and to take home some of your great bread and other goodies. We haven’t tried the Rosemary Feta or the English muffins yet, but will do so soon and give you some feedback.
The Mary Kate is delicious and is mostly gone. Found some French Butter at Southside Produce today and will try that on the next slice(s). Pimiento Cheese is also very tasty.
Nice to meet you and to share some BR stories. Looking forward to trying many more loaves and extras.

A great talent, great performer and awesome bandleader. RIP
Why didn’t on reporter have the balls last night to ask a question like this:
“Coach, I’m sure fans can respect your admiration and support of your players for the prep and the effort. But, what is your opinion on the prep and game time effort of your coaching staff?”
